This Walmart Gaming Laptop Doesn't Suck...#Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin this is the

Walmart gaming laptop now you might have

seen some of the other videos going

around on some of their gaming desktops

which are of dubious value and dubious

quality but this one this one actually

might not be too bad so what makes this

special is the price when our first one

on sale only what a few weeks ago it was

$1000 but we picked this one up for $700

and checking the walmart.com website

right now it is available for only 600

bucks I mean take a look at these specs

the i-5 is solid and while the 1050

might not be all that impressive at $600

this has a lot going for it

if it actually stays $600 that is so I

get that overpowered a little bit of a

cliche for the brand but if this box

actually looks kind of cool I gotta say

it's not bad so first impressions are

pretty decent

it has brushed metal on the front and

the back panel even though it is plastic

seems very sturdy especially considering

how many vents are here so while this

boots up let's take a look at what else

is inside the box which I assume for 600

ollars not gonna be a lot so there's the

power adapter which is here a 120 watts

now with a 1050 and a quad on board this

is not the most powerful gaming laptops

but should still be able to play a lot

of games at pretty reasonable settings

at 1080p

so this Opie brand has a really bad rap

right now and at $1000 this laptop does

have some pretty major issues at 6 or

700 bucks though it's a very different

story

so take the processor for example it's a

core i5 8300 age which means it's quad

core it's 45 watt this is a proper

gaming CPU no problem the GTX 1050 on

the other hand isn't quite as powerful

so realistically even though it does

have that 144 Hertz display and I'll

talk about that in a second it's not

really going to be capable of playing a

lot of games at that very high

resolution especially that very high

frame rate but the thing is it's still

way better than pretty much anything

else you're finding at this price point

looking around the laptop wait I should

have a pretty decent selection of ports

so a pair of USB 3.0 SD card a pair of

mini display as well as HDMI we have USB

C as well as Ethernet and one more USB

2.0 a mechanical keyboard on a gaming

laptop is usually reserved for computers

which are much much more expensive now

this is not maybe the greatest keyboard

I've ever used it does have a little bit

of that tactile feel but it also isn't

quite as responsive as something like

those higher and razor switches but that

being said it's totally not bad and we

have a fairly wide range of RGB options

so this is the really obnoxious one but

if I switch over to the Opie software

I mean they've definitely got some some

interesting options now I don't

personally care too much as long as I

have a backlit keyboard I'm fine

but the keyboard situation here is

really on par with much more expensive

laptops another point for the Walmart

Opie gaming laptop of course you can't

build a laptop for way cheaper without

some sacrifices now based on those

desktops there were some actually pretty

major issues some other curious to see

what's inside this guy I will give them

this it's easy to open up the laptop all

you need to do is undo 16 Phillips

screws and we should be inside in no

time Oh warranty seal aha so maybe

there's 18 screws and I need to remove

the seal I will say having a warranty

seal on the bottom of the laptop even if

you want to say a dram or something

that's kind of ridiculous yeah that's

not okay with our warranty voided let's

see what we've got inside the laptop

that's okay so first of all we've got

our two and a half inch hard drive we've

got a fairly small 46 watt hour battery

there's our Intel wireless card

underneath this little flap we have a

single 8 gig dim of ram under the other

it is empty so you could theoretically

upgrade this pretty easily we also do

have our 128 gig nvme SSD or at least

it's an m2 I doubt it's probably still

SATA

look what's kind of impressive is we

actually have an entirely unused SSD

slot so very easily you could upgrade

this with another SSD with some more

memory you can even probably swap out

this hard drive without too much trouble

so now I do we have a pair of fans but

we have three heat pipes as well as the

heat sink on the left side on the top

another one on the top and another one

on the side now how gotten into any

gaming yet but especially with only a

GTX 1050 inside this looks to be more

than adequate so if we jump into a quick

game of fortnight there's a few things

that jump out to me

first of all 1080p medium we are getting

70 to 80 frames per second sure it's not

going to be taking advantage of that

full 144 Hertz refresh rate but it is a

lot better than a normal display I mean

even on the Walmart website they show

this is the only gaming laptop with a

144 heard screen for $9.99

even though now the price is $5.99 and

speaking of the display it is really

nice smelly is a very vibrant it D

colors especially look very accurate no

you don't know you don't know don't know

you don't know don't wanna go get him I

will go get him

no I'm good no you do not know you do

not I got to do again so one of the

issues with the only having two gigs of

RAM for that 1050 is it for example here

in black ops we're almost out of RAM I'm

curious to see how well this actually

performs so with the resolution turned

down to about 900 P we are getting a

pretty playable framerate it's actually

in the 60 to 70 range the main issue

here is that because the 1050 only does

have two gigs of RAM it does limit kind

of how high we can actually crank the

settings here watch it's it's basically

it's limiting the GPU at 66 I would not

want it to throttle at 66 III would be

okay with this thing living at 7075 all

day that's that's not enough to worry me

I would much rather have this quiet

advanced I suppose so overwatch is

actually a pretty good game for this

system so we're at 1080p high and right

now we're getting about 80 to 90 frames

per second definitely well in the range

of that 144 Hertz display hamster dude

coming in coming in hot there you go

insta dude's fun man he's really fun OPR

almost certainly losing money on every

single one of these they sell it $600

and yes you are taking a little bit of a

risk by going with a fairly brand-new

and unknown company but considering just

what you're getting for this kind of

price it's hard to go wrong
