The Walmart GeForce Week Sale Has Black Friday Worthy Gaming Laptop Deals

The best prices I've seen all year on gaming laptops with RTX 5060 to 5080.

The Walmart GeForce Week Sale Has Black Friday Worthy Gaming Laptop Deals

Walmart has launched its GeForce Week sale featuring impressive gaming laptop deals with Nvidia's RTX 50 series GPUs. These deals are so attractive that they may be worth purchasing before Black Friday. The sale, run by Walmart exclusively, runs through September 28, with popular configurations selling out faster. IGN Deals has broken down the deals by graphics card to help consumers make informed decisions.

The RTX 5060 gaming laptop delivers strong gaming performance at a reasonable price, comparable to the previous generation's 4070. It can handle most games at 60fps at 1200p or lower resolutions. However, for 1600p gaming, settings may need to be adjusted.

The RTX 5070 is a significant upgrade over the 5060, offering better performance and capable of running most games at 60fps at 1600p or lower. The RTX 5070 Ti is even more powerful, performing about 20%-30% better than the 5070. It's on par with the RTX 4080 and offers enhanced DLSS 4.5 features.

The RTX 5080 mobile GPU is roughly 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 5070 Ti. It's best suited for gamers aiming to play games at resolutions above 1600p, whether on the native display or connected to an external monitor.

Vue Composables: The Shared State Trap (+ Cheat Sheet)

You build a useCounter() composable, drop <Counter /> on the page twice, and click the first button. Both counters go up. You didn't copy-paste a bug.

  • Two instances of useCounter() share same state due to JavaScript scoping rules.
  • State declared outside function is created once, shared across composable instances.
  • Confusion and unexpected behavior can arise from shared state in composables.

48-Hour Field Notes: curl Looked Instant. Python Paid a Handshake on Every Call.

I spent forty-eight hours arguing with an API that was not actually slow on the wire. My Python probe kept printing extra delay, while a single curl call still looked almost instant.

  • Python script caused slow API performance due to lack of connection reuse
  • Each request opened new TCP connection and TLS session, incurring overhead
  • Implementing connection reuse resolved latency issue and highlighted client-side impact
