Amazon Gaming Week kicked off on Monday, April 28, and I’ve been keeping a close watch on gaming laptop sales.
While I’ve dug up quite a few great Gaming Week RTX laptop sales, the best deal spotted so far isn’t actually available at Amazon.
Walmart is home to the MSI Thin 15.6 for just $699, down from the regular $1,000. This is the most affordable RTX 4060 gaming laptop I’ve seen this week, but it’s only available for a limited time.
Why is this the best gaming laptop deal of Gaming Week?
Since Monday, when Gaming Week kicked off, I’ve been keeping a close watch on the best gaming laptop deals.
From the very start, it’s been Walmart — not Amazon — that has what I consider to be the best price on a gaming laptop that’s actually worth buying.
The MSI Thin 15 that I’m highlighting here has an NVIDIA RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, an Intel Core i5-13420H CPU, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.
Memory and storage can both be upgraded after purchase, but as-is, this is a laptop that will handle any games out there at 1080p.

The 15.6-inch display with a 1920×1080 (FHD) resolution is a perfect pairing for this hardware, and the 144Hz refresh rate provides plenty of space for high frame rates.
Best part? It’s down to just $699 at Walmart. That’s $301 off the regular $1,000 price.
The only other laptop that comes close to the MSI Thin 15’s discount price is the Acer Nitro V (ANV15-51) on sale at Amazon. It’s down to $699.99, but it comes with an NVIDIA RTX 4050 Laptop GPU that’s not nearly as powerful.

The MSI Thin 15 deal at Walmart is available to all shoppers, but I want to call out another deal on the go.
