Overview: Walmart’s Core i5 Ice Lake Notebook back in stock at $500 

A cow looks at us from the screen of a laptop.

The Ice Lake-powered GWTN156-1BL we are reviewing now is just one of the whole lineup of {} , Gateway-branded laptops offered only at Walmart. We planned to review {} month, together with its own $350, Ryzen-powered small sister that the GWTN141-2–it sold out so fast we {} able to receive our hands on one before Walmart refreshed its inventory weekly.

Though we’re really just taking a look at the 500 Ice Lake variant these days, we will incorporate the specs for your 350 Ryzen-powered alternative for a refresher, because we anticipate a whole great deal of people can hesitate between them both. Finally, the two machines have been at least fair purchases–we believe that the more affordable GWTN141-2 is much more persuasive, despite becoming a wimpier system all around.

At $350, there are not many notebook alternatives readily available, and also the GWTN141-2–even though its warts–stems out {} top. But in the GWTN156-1BL’s $500, the economy opens up greatly. Significant manufacturers like Lenovo, ASUS, and Acer {} fairly affordable layouts for $550 or not. The {} , on the flip side, still is not very aggressive –the very best prices in below $600 are inclined to contain sixth-generation i5 CPUs which seem paltry beside this Gateway’s low cost Ice Lake.
