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.

<![CDATA[ <article> <p>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 <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/MSI-16-GeForce-RTX-5070-Ti-Laptop-GPU-Intel-Core-Ultra-7-255HX-16GB-Memory-512-GB-SSD-Windows-11-Home-Gaming-Laptop-240-Hz-Vector-16-HX-AI-A2XWHG-061/16183105600">for $1,399 (was $1,749) at Walmart</a>. </p><p>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 <em>few</em> caveats. </p><p>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.</p><p>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 <em>too </em>bad.</p><h2 id="today-39-s-best-gaming-laptop-deal-at-walmart">Today's best gaming laptop deal at Walmart</h2><div class="product"><a data-dimension112="d27f7172-b698-11f1-a880-d524496b259d" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Vector 16 gaming laptop" data-dimension48="Vector 16 gaming laptop" data-dimension25="$1399" href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/MSI-16-GeForce-RTX-5070-Ti-Laptop-GPU-Intel-Core-Ultra-7-255HX-16GB-Memory-512-GB-SSD-Windows-11-Home-Gaming-Laptop-240-Hz-Vector-16-HX-AI-A2XWHG-061/16183105600" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><figure class="van-image-figure " ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:909px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:98.90%;"><img id="NGQXsFtfJPGmZS5wdu2GLf" name="1747217066.jpg" caption="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/NGQXsFtfJPGmZS5wdu2GLf-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="909" height="899" attribution="" endorsement="" credit="" class=""></p></div></div></figure></a><p><strong><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/MSI-16-GeForce-RTX-5070-Ti-Laptop-GPU-Intel-Core-Ultra-7-255HX-16GB-Memory-512-GB-SSD-Windows-11-Home-Gaming-Laptop-240-Hz-Vector-16-HX-AI-A2XWHG-061/16183105600" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-dimension112="d27f7172-b698-11f1-a880-d524496b259d" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Vector 16 gaming laptop" data-dimension48="Vector 16 gaming laptop" data-dimension25="$1399">Vector 16 gaming laptop: was $1749 now $1399</a></strong><br><strong>Graphics card</strong>: RTX 5070 Ti<br><strong>Processor</strong>: Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX<br><strong>RAM</strong>: 16GB<br><strong>Storage</strong>: 512GB</p><p>If you're looking for the maximum possible performance per dollar, check out this MSI Vector 16 at Best Buy this week. 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. <a class="view-deal button" href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/MSI-16-GeForce-RTX-5070-Ti-Laptop-GPU-Intel-Core-Ultra-7-255HX-16GB-Memory-512-GB-SSD-Windows-11-Home-Gaming-Laptop-240-Hz-Vector-16-HX-AI-A2XWHG-061/16183105600" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-dimension112="d27f7172-b698-11f1-a880-d524496b259d" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Vector 16 gaming laptop" data-dimension48="Vector 16 gaming laptop" data-dimension25="$1399">View Deal</a></p></div><ul><li><strong>See more</strong>: <a href="https://www.walmart.com/search?q=gaming+laptop+">check out all of today's gaming laptop deals at Walmart</a></li></ul><p>Even with 16GB of RAM, I'd pick this MSI Vector 16 over similarly priced RTX 5060 and RTX 5070 machines on the market currently. </p><p>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. For one, the RTX 5070 Ti features 12GB of VRAM versus the rather meagre 8GB on the RTX 5060. Again, I think the lack of RAM is an acceptable trade-off to secure the RTX 5070 Ti at this particular price. </p> </article> ]]>
