FULL STORY
======================================================================

Even Walmart cares about gaming. Right now, the retailer is running a 
limited-time Nvidia GeForce Gaming Sale with discounts on budget gaming 
laptops. The sale is coming to a close this weekend, but you can still get 
fairly new gaming laptops like the Acer Nitro V 16 with an RTX 5050 for $699 
(was $899) . 

This Acer Nitro V is the most recent model with new processors and features 
that make it more AI-friendly and efficient than its predecessors. As a 
budget gaming laptop, it still gets hot and doesn't quite reach the max 
graphics capabilities that other competitors can, but it's worth it at this 
price point if you want to play less demanding games in mid-to-low quality.

This Acer Nitro V 16 includes the RTX 5050, the most affordable graphics card 
in the new Nvidia RTX 50 series. This is the 16-inch version with an AMD 
Ryzen 5 240 CPU, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. It's strong enough to support AI 
and run graphically ambitious AAA games, though you might need to play them 
at 1080p to get the best performance. This deal is only available as part of 
Walmart's GeForce Week sale, so grab it before the weekend is over. View Deal 

Besides the RTX 5050 from Nvidia's latest GPU series, it comes with an AMD 
Ryzen 5 240 CPU, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD. That's more than enough to run the 
latest AAA games on modest settings, though you may need to regularly clear 
your storage to fit new titles in your library. 

We haven't tested the Nitro V with the Ryzen 5 240, but it shares many 
similarities with the Intel Core i5 model in our Acer Nitro V review . Our 
reviewer praised the value for the price with reliable 1080p performance and 
a "vibrant and bright display." We tested the Nitro V 15 and not the V 16 
like in this Walmart listing, but the bigger the better, right? 

As part of GeForce Week, we also highlighted the affordable HP Victus 16 . We 
also expect more of our best budget gaming laptops to go on sale the further 
we get into the year.
