Deal | This GeForce RTX 2060 laptop is only $699 USD right now from Walmart and Gateway

Gaming laptops with the GeForce RTX 2060 launched almost two years ago with high starting prices of about $1400 USD. Fast-forward to Holiday 2020 and now laptops sporting this same GPU can be found for almost half the price. The Walmart Gateway Creator is currently on sale for $700 down from its original launch price of $1000.

The highlight of the deal is its high performance-per-dollar as most gaming laptops in this price range would typically come with the much slower GeForce GTX 1650 instead. The Walmart system even includes a 120 Hz IPS display to reduce screen tearing and increase responsiveness.

Of course, there are some drawbacks to keep in mind. The Core i5-10300H CPU, for example, isn't nearly as fast as the latest Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 CPUs. Furthermore, the configuration comes with just 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of PCIe SSD storage which are barely enough for the latest games. These modules are thankfully user-upgradeable, but warranty may be impacted.

We also can't confirm if the 120 Hz display is a Panda panel. Such panels tend to offer high refresh rates but with poor colors and slow black-white response times. Note that the Gateway laptop utilizes a Tongfang white label chassis similar to some Schenker laptops.
