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
