While Amazon's October Prime Day deals are coming in left and right, alternative retailers are also hosting their own selection of excellent discounts. One such example is Walmart, which has tons of great deals on gaming laptops, monitors, and pre-built desktop PCs.

One such example is the Lenovo Legion Slim 5, available for $849 at Walmart. This is a $550 discount from its original price of $1,399. It's an excellent mid-range gaming laptop that boasts solid RTX 4060 graphics and an AMD Ryzen 7 processor. 

The Acer Nitro 27-inch monitor is also available at Walmart for $149, which is $50 off its original price of $199. It's a perfect choice for most gamers with smaller desks, featuring 2K resolution, 170Hz refresh rate, 1 millisecond response time, and AMD FreeSync compatibility.

Without further ado, let's jump right into my 5 favorite Walmart gaming deals during Amazon's October Prime Day.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 is a solid mid-range gaming laptop with an RTX 4060 laptop-level GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. It's perfect for running decently demanding games, especially if you don't want to invest in a higher-end gaming laptop that could take you well above a thousand dollars. In this case, the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 was more than a thousand, but it's now a little under, making it the perfect time to invest in this power gaming laptop featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 processor in a 16-inch display at 165Hz refresh rate.

If you need an even more affordable gaming monitor that will ensure you're paying the least while getting the most out of it possible, the LG 27-inch UltraGear is your pick.
