<![CDATA[ <article> <p>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 <a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/gigabyte-aero-x16-copilot-pc-16-25601600-wqxga-amd-ryzen-al-7-350-1tb-ssd-32gb-ddr5-ram-geforce-rtx-5070-space-gray/J3GWPQCCFK/sku/6632266">for $1,339 (was $1,499)</a> at Best Buy.</p><p>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.</p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><h2 id="today-39-s-best-gaming-laptop-deal">Today's best gaming laptop deal</h2><div class="product"><a data-dimension112="b5d2b286-a2f3-11f1-afe5-eff7843d037d" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Aero X16 Gaming Laptop" data-dimension48="Aero X16 Gaming Laptop" data-dimension25="$1339.99" href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/gigabyte-aero-x16-copilot-pc-16-25601600-wqxga-amd-ryzen-al-7-350-1tb-ssd-32gb-ddr5-ram-geforce-rtx-5070-space-gray/J3GWPQCCFK/sku/6632266" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><figure class="van-image-figure " ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1024px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="sFa9USftfi2ZLQ8UXxX7VV" name="gigabyte-aero-x16-white-bg" caption="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/sFa9USftfi2ZLQ8UXxX7VV.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1024" height="1024" attribution="" endorsement="" credit="" class=""></p></div></div></figure></a><p><strong><a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/gigabyte-aero-x16-copilot-pc-16-25601600-wqxga-amd-ryzen-al-7-350-1tb-ssd-32gb-ddr5-ram-geforce-rtx-5070-space-gray/J3GWPQCCFK/sku/6632266" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-dimension112="b5d2b286-a2f3-11f1-afe5-eff7843d037d" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Aero X16 Gaming Laptop" data-dimension48="Aero X16 Gaming Laptop" data-dimension25="$1339.99">Aero X16 Gaming Laptop: was $1499.99 now $1339.99</a></strong><br><strong>Graphics card</strong>: RTX 5070<br><strong>Processor</strong>: AMD Ryzen Al 7-350<br><strong>RAM</strong>: 32GB<br><strong>Storage</strong>: 1TB</p><p>Genuine gaming laptop deals are rare these days with such high component prices.
