This RTX 5070 Ti gaming laptop is just $1,399 at Walmart today — it's the one I'd personally spend my own cash on

Gaming laptop deals have been pretty dire in recent months (to say the least), but every now and again I spot a listing that's worth the cash.

That's the case today with this RTX 5070 Ti-equipped MSI Vector 16 for $1,399 (was $1,749) at Walmart .

If you've got a bit of cash to spend on a new laptop, then this MSI Vector is definitely worth keeping on your list.

It's been a while since I've seen a machine with such a graphics card for so cheap, although there are a few caveats.

First, you only get 16GB of RAM, which is somewhat expected given the price.

The second trade-off is that you only get a 512GB storage drive.

It's the storage drive that's the most galling omission here, although I'd be willing to sacrifice a bit of space to get such a powerful graphics card at this price.

You're essentially trading the ability to have a ton of games installed at once for better in-game performance.

Personally, I don't think that's too bad.

At just $1,399, this machine is easily one of the cheapest I've ever seen to feature a high-end RTX 5070 Ti graphics card.

On top of that, you're also getting a decent Intel Core Ultra 7 chipset - although you will have to settle for 16GB of RAM and a rather meagre 512GB SSD.

The RAM will likely bottleneck your performance in some games, but a machine with an RTX 5070 Ti and 16GB of RAM should still outpace a machine with an RTX 5060 and 32GB of RAM.
