Question This listing looks fishy - GPU

[Hemispheres]

I'm looking into upgrading my laptop soon and I came across this listing .

https://www.walmart.com/ip/ASUS-TUF...70-1TB-SSD-Mecha-Grey/2633526670?from=/search

I'm suspicious because it's cheaper than my RTX 3070 Laptop was, and the 4070 is listed as having 12gb vram which if I'm correct doesn't with that much vram.

Thoughts?

They are listed as 8GB variants in them. maybe call up Wallmart and confirm if it's stated on the laptop's box.

Found this;

I'd still call up Wallmart or see if they have it on the display floor.

From time to time, and if you have the time, it can be good to troll the local WM and especially if you can get one of the employees with keys and the scanner at the same time to go along all those grid lockers where they keep laptops and such and just walk along scanning and seeing what is actually there.

Probably about 12 or more years ago now I went to one late in the evening and myself and the employee were looking through to end up finding a really decent laptop that was similar to, but not the same as what they had on advert. We scanned it and it was hundreds of dollars less than the exact same laptop aside from this mobile wireless feature that was trying to be rolled out at the time and didn't make it. Basically that feature by itself was obsolete stillbirth and saved me a great deal of cash. If they are particularly bored they may even look it up on the computer to see exactly what it is (or time to do so on your cell phone nowadays).
