You can get an RTX 5070 gaming laptop with 32GB RAM for under $1,500 right now — finally, a deal that's not a complete rip-off

It's getting tougher and tougher to find decent gaming laptop deals these days, but every now and again, I still spot the odd gem.

One such example has to be this Gigabyte Aero X16 gaming laptop for $1,339 (was $1,499) at Best Buy.

It's a pretty pricey laptop, no doubt, but it's a rare example of a machine that features both an RTX 5070 graphics card and 32GB of RAM for under $1,500.

I've spotted quite a few 'cheap' RTX 5070 laptops recently, but they've all come with a rather measly 16GB of RAM.

Since RAM is so expensive these days, getting 32GB right out of the box is a real selling point for this Gigabyte Aero X16.

You shouldn't have any issues getting great performance here, even if you do have to pay a little extra versus the cheaper RTX 5060 laptops that are quite common in this price bracket.

If you're headed off to college, then I could see this one being a particularly fine choice, too.

It's powerful enough to handle the applications you'll need, while also doubling as a great tool for gaming in your downtime.

With a decent AMD chipset, this one should see you through all of college with no problem.
