This RTX 5070 gaming laptop just dropped by $350 in epic Best Buy sale — less than an RTX 5060!
That's right; the Gigabyte Aero X16 with an RTX 5070 is now $350 off at Best Buy, slashing its price down to just $1,299. That's an incredible deal to score considering we've just seen this Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with an RTX 5060 drop to $1,349 — and that's with a deal included.
Along with its latest AMD Ryzen Al 7 350 CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD and 16-inch 2.5K (2560 x 1600) display with a 165Hz refresh rate, gamers will have a field day with this machine, and you'd be hard-pressed to find an RTX 5070 laptop for anything close.
Now $350 off, this Gigabyte Aero 16X with an RTX 5070 offers mighty mid-range power for a value-driven price. With its AMD Ryzen Al 7 350 CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB SSD, it has all the makings of playing the latest AAA PC games with super-fast refresh rates at high settings. Over an RTX 5060, you're getting 12GB of VRAM for less!
I've seen my fair share of Gigabyte gaming laptops, and I've always been impressed with the performance they deliver for a much more affordable price than their competitors. That's exactly the case with this Gigabyte Aero X16 gaming laptop, only made more impressive with its RTX 5070 performance.
Some Gigabyte gaming laptops have their flaws, but customers for this laptop have stated that it's "a great choice for creative professionals and gamers alike," and that it's "quieter than nearly every other laptop I've reviewed." Considering some of the best gaming laptops, like the Razer Blade 16 (2024), can get fairly loud, that says a lot for the thermals on this machine.
Quieter than nearly every other laptop I've reviewed
While users have said that it's "hindered in performance by Nvidia's lack of VRAM," this is to be expected by Team Green's latest GPU. That said, with its price knocked down, and with Nvidia DLSS 4 seeing games deliver sky-high frame rates at higher settings, this shouldn't be an issue for many PC gamers looking for a reliable machine that can play the latest PC titles.
I recently tested an Asus TUF Gaming A18 with an RTX 5070, and was blown away by the performance it could manage. In fact, with Nvidia DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation x4 and High settings with ray tracing turned on, I was seeing frame rates as high as 200 FPS. With the specs the Gigabyte Aero X16 delivers, it's sure to manage the same.
So, want to save more on a higher-powered RTX 5070 gaming laptop over an RTX 5060 machine? Now's your chance with this Gigabyte Aero 16X.

2 Top Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks That Could Crush the Nasdaq
Key Points Sovereign AI systems is a $50 billion per year opportunity, which could benefit AI chip leader Nvidia. The success of Meta Platforms' Ray-Ban smart glasses shows it is more than just an advertising business. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Sticking with industry leaders is all an investor needs to do to run circles around the market indexes. The Nasdaq Composite has returned 26% over the past 12 months, but leading stocks like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) have doubled that return. As artificial intelligence (AI) sweeps across the global economy, here's why these stocks are poised to deliver strong growth to help you beat the market. 1. Nvidia Nvidia's explosive growth led by demand for its high-powered data center chips for AI workloads has fueled the stock higher in 2025. Investors who missed the rally shouldn't feel like it's too late. Organizations around the world are still in the early innings of adopting AI, which spells more upside for investors. Nvidia's data center business is booming, with revenue up 73% year over year in its fiscal first quarter. The company provides chips for several markets, including gaming, professional graphic artists, and autonomous training systems for cars. But data center is its largest business, making up over 88% of the most recent quarter's revenue. Investors new to Nvidia should be encouraged to see management pointing to an expanding set of opportunities. For example, CEO Jensen Huang continues to talk about the opportunity in sovereign AI, where governments worldwide are starting to build their own AI systems for national security and dependence from foreign AI models. Spending on sovereign AI infrastructure is expected to reach $50 billion annually, according to Bank of America. With Nvidia controlling the lion's share of the AI chip market, this will pad the company's revenue over the next decade. There's growing competition for AI chips, as Nvidia's are costly. Some AI researchers might feel Nvidia's chips are overkill for their needs and may look at lower-cost options from other vendors. But Nvidia is well positioned to remain the leader for large organizations and governments, which is still a big opportunity. Assuming the Nasdaq doubles again by 2030, Nvidia stock needs to deliver a compound annual return of at least 15% to beat it. Its adjusted earnings grew at a compound annual rate of 83% over the last five years, and Wall Street analysts currently project earnings to grow over 29% per year in the coming years. With the stock still trading within its historical range on a forward price-to-earnings basis, it should follow earnings, pointing to market-beating returns for investors buying shares today. 2. Meta Platforms Meta Platforms has a strong competitive position in the digital economy, with over 3.4 billion people using its family of apps every day. The stock has nearly doubled the return of the Nasdaq over the past year, up 49% at the time of this writing. While its forward price-to-earnings multiple of 28 has stretched to the high end of its previous three-year range, the company's earnings momentum and progress in capturing growth outside of its core advertising business should justify a higher valuation. Meta is one of the top digital advertisers, with trailing-12-month revenue reaching $178 billion. Revenue growth has been impressive, up 22% year over year in Q2. Analysts expect earnings to grow at an annualized rate of 17% over the next several years, putting the stock on course to outperform the Nasdaq. With $71 billion in net profit generated over the past year, Meta's growing digital ad business is providing substantial resources to invest in the best AI engineers and data center infrastructure. This is fueling development of AI tools for advertisers and potentially explosive opportunities from the company's Reality Labs division. Meta's Reality Labs only generated $370 million of revenue last quarter, with a large operating loss of $4.5 billion. But Meta might be stumbling onto a big opportunity with its AI consumer products. The Ray-Ban smart glasses posted accelerating sales last quarter with demand exceeding supply. Meta is already launching new performance-focused AI glasses in partnership with Oakley to capitalize on growing consumer interest in these products. Through the first half of 2025, the company reported stellar earnings growth of 37% year over year, significantly outperforming analysts' expectations. The profits from its advertising revenue allow the company to take calculated bets on things like smart glasses, which help bolster Meta's brand as it works to integrate its AI technology into the lives of its customers. Meta is aiming to be its users' everyday superintelligence agent, and this would unlock more growth opportunities over the long term. Given Meta's profitable advertising business and how AI is benefiting its growth, investors appear to be rerating the stock with its forward P/E potentially heading into the 30s. The stock should continue to grow in value with earnings putting it on track to outperform the Nasdaq over the next five years. Should you buy stock in Nvidia right now?
