A gaming laptop for under $700 has landed on Walmart’s shelves, offering a rare balance between performance and affordability. The MSI Thin 15 B13VF-2829US boasts an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and an Intel Core i5 CPU, making it a great option for budget-conscious gamers.
The laptop’s RTX 4060 GPU is notable for its core spec, matching the desktop GeForce RTX 4060 with 3,072 CUDA cores and 8GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM. Although the clock speeds are lower, this still enables smooth performance at 1080p resolution and up to 144fps frame rate on the 15-inch screen.
The laptop also features a fast 144Hz display, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and an Intel Core i5 13420H CPU with eight cores. However, it’s worth noting that only four performance-focused P-Cores are available for gaming, while the other four E-Cores prioritize power efficiency.
While storage is limited at 512GB SSD, there is room for upgrading to a better gaming SSD later on. The presence of a 2.5-inch bay also allows for easy installation of a SATA SSD.
At $648.35, this deal is hard to beat, making it an excellent option for those seeking a budget-friendly gaming laptop with decent specs.
