It's the day after Thanksgiving, which in America is the traditional start of Christmas shopping.

It's possible that we have forum members who aren't very tech-savvy thinking about buying a computer for a grandchild or something. If so, do not buy a gaming computer from Walmart.

They charge too much for what you get, and there are poor design choices that harm performance, especially over time.

Almost any online desktop builder would be better, from CyberPowerPC to Dell. You'll get more for your money and the resulting computer will last longer.

Although I do admit that I found the above video amusing. The cable management was pretty much the only good thing about it.
 
Buy your kids a Christmas present that requires physical activity instead.
 
Now it seems that more and more tech channels on YouTube are taking turns making fun of the Walmart gaming PCs.
