The HP Victus 15 is one of HP’s most popular gaming laptops, and part of the reason for that is the price. This model of the Victus will let you play a lot of modern AAA games — pretty close to their highest settings. It has respectable components for the price, though: an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card, and 8GB of RAM. This kind of hardware will suit you pretty well for most modern games, but you may want to consider a RAM upgrade in the future.

Another great convertible that’s larger in size is the HP Envy X360, with a sizeable 16-inch screen that’s touch-enabled and has a 1920 x 1200 resolution and can even hit 300 nit of peak brightness, which means you can use it pretty much anywhere that doesn’t have direct sunlight. In terms of processing power, you get an Intel Core Ultra 7 155U, which is a mid-to-high-end processor that will be perfect for work or school and some creative tasks, too. It also has a very solid 16GB of RAM for a better day-to-day experience, and the 1TB of storage should be more than enough for most folks. It’s also worth mentioning that both the battery and the typing experience are very solid.

If you’re looking for a gaming laptop, then you’ll be happy to know that HP makes a few really good ones, like this OMEN Transcend. It comes with a solid RTX 4070, which is a good 1440p graphics card and should let you handle over 100fps with some compromises here and there.

Besides that, you get a high-end Intel Core i7-14700HX and a whopping 32 GB of DDR5 RAM.
