Begin your PC gaming career with Walmart's exclusive discounts for high-quality gaming laptops and accessories — with each laptop now less than $1,000
Things are looking bleak for PC gaming hardware in 2026, but Walmart's here to offer a Christmas reprieve with two discounted gaming laptops outfitted with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 GPUs, along with some extra accessories.
Gaming on laptops offers several advantages over console gaming, including greater control over a game's graphical and performance settings, portability for travel, and access to PC-exclusive titles like the classic MMORPG World of Warcraft.
However, it can be an expensive hobby to get into, as laptops can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Fortunately, Walmart is hosting a special Christmas sale on a couple of PC gaming laptops and compatible accessories to help you get started with PC gaming while saving a significant amount of money, and we've rounded up the best discounts on offer.

FAQs
Which laptop should you go for?
Dell's Alienware 16" Aurora offers a more powerful display screen with 2560x1600 resolution and 120Hz refresh rates to help it run games with crystal clear visuals and smooth framerates. It also has a sturdier chassis, a larger 1TB SSD storage unit, and a more advanced cooling system than the Lenovo LOQ 15.6".
However, the Lenovo LOQ 15.6" has the Alienware 16" Aurora beat when it comes to value. It has a much lower MSRP while offering similar levels of strong performance power for running PC games at high framerates and resolutions, as they're both equipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 GPUs.
So if you want to save the most money while treating yourself to a powerful gaming laptop for Christmas, then the Lenovo LOQ 15.6" is up for grabs at $699.99 at Walmart.
On the flip side, if you have the extra cash for a premium-level gaming laptop in terms of both performance and storage space, then don't miss out on the Alienware 16" Aurora, which is on sale for $899.00 at Walmart.
