Walmart, of all companies, partnered with Esports Arena to start building and selling their own gaming PCs. PCGamer spotted the new "OVERPOWERED" lineup, and as of now, Walmart has 3 laptops and 3 desktops listed on their online storefront. At the low end, Walmart is selling a 15" laptop with a mobile GTX 1050 and 8GB of RAM for $999, while at the high end, the DTW3 desktop sports a GTX 1080 TI, 32GB of RAM, and i7 8700, a 512GB SSD and a 2TB HDD for $2099. As far as I can tell, the prices for Walmart's new systems are comparable to prebuilt PCs from other retailers, but nevertheless its interesting to see the mega retailer enter the gaming PC space.
There are still some unknowns, like what wattage and efficiency PSU is in these desktops, what the speed the RAM is running, and what the cable management looks like. Nevertheless, the core foundation is strong on all three, which is nothing we would necessarily expect from Walmart.
