Best Buy is now offering a 16-inch Gigabyte RTX 5070 AERO X16 gaming laptop with 32GB RAM/1TB SSD for $1,299.99 shipped. This particular config typically goes for $1,650, which means you’re getting a straight-up $350 discount on it right now. We saw the RTX 5060 variant of this notebook drop to $1,050 a couple of days ago, which has since jumped back up in price, but this is the first time we’re seeing this one with an RTX 5070 drop this low. Amazon currently has this laptop listed for $1,450, so you might want to cash in on this deal at Best Buy to lock the best price before it climbs back to full price. Head below for details if you want to learn more about it before adding it to the cart.
Gigabyte’s latest AERO series notebooks pack some serious hardware, and the model discounted today is equipped with AMD’s Ryzen AI 7 350 eight-core processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for plenty of speed and storage. It also has an NVIDIA RTX 5070 laptop GPU with 8GB of VRAM, capable of pushing up to 165 FPS on its 16-inch WQXGA display. Despite the powerful hardware inside, this laptop manages to stay pretty thin at just 0.65 inches, while still offering stereo speakers, a solid range of I/O including HDMI 2.1, four USB ports, and more.
You might want to check out Walmart’s GeForce Week gaming sale if you’re looking for alternatives, as there are a bunch of RTX 50-series notebooks and gaming PCs discounted there right now. And if you’d rather get your hands on a fully-loaded machine, Lenovo’s Legion Pro 7i with an RTX 5090 is $1,506 off right now at $3,049.
