As PC gaming costs continue to rise thanks to the AI crunch, pre-built PCs and gaming laptops continue to be a rare source of solace for gamers who want to upgrade in 2026. Right now at Walmart, you can get an MSI Vector gaming laptop with RTX 5070 Ti GPU for just $1,499.
Not only is that a $500 discount off the $1,999 list price, but it's also just $200 shy of the price we saw on this laptop during Black Friday last year. Considering RAM has increased in price by 400% since then, and given SSDs aren't much cheaper, that is a relatively excellent deal on a decent gaming laptop.
The highlight of this laptop is the RTX 5070 Ti, which is a potent mobile GPU that should provide very solid gaming performance at the 2,560 x 1,600 resolution this laptop supports. With 5,888 CUDA cores and 12GB of VRAM, that should be ample memory for most titles at this resolution, although it stops short of the 16GB of VRAM available in higher-end models.
The aforementioned display is a 240Hz 16-inch IPS panel, so while it isn't OLED, that'll save you plenty of battery life for when you're gaming without nearby power.
The processor in this laptop is AMD's Ryzen 9 8940HX. This mobile Zen 4 CPU has 16 cores and 32 threads, with base clocks of 2.4 GHz and up to 5.3 GHz boost clock. It also features 80MB total cache.
Other specs include 16GB of DDR5 RAM. 32GB would be ideal, but in this economy, that's a good deal at this price, as is the 1TB SSD. Otherwise, this laptop comes with a stealthy grey gaming aesthetic, and the laptop has a 24-zone RGB keyboard. You'll also get Wi-Fi 7 for great internet, as well as Bluetooth 5.4 for connecting accessories. If you want to save even more money, Walmart is also selling this 15.6-inch Cyborg with RTX 5070 for just $1,378, featuring the same RAM and SSD, Intel Core 7-240H, and Wi-Fi 6E.
