Have you been holding out for a significant markdown on a top gaming laptop? Now is the time to act, friends, as HP is offering one of the best deals of the week on a fantastic gaming PC:

For a limited time, you’ll be able to order the HP OMEN Gaming Laptop through the manufacturer for $950. At full price, this model sells for $1,450. Do keep in mind this is an HP Flash Sale.

Why you should buy the HP OMEN Gaming Laptop

Gaming laptops require the kind of reliable power and performance that only certain PCs can muster. Fortunately, the Omen is one of these prized machines. This Windows 11 PC has an Intel Core i7 that delivers up to 5.5GHz clock speeds, along with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. Depending on how much gaming you actually do, you may or may not want to add more storage. (And luckily, we have a solid roundup of SSD deals for you to look through, too!)

Bytes aside, those are some solid internal components that guarantee optimal performance across the board, along with visually rich graphics. This laptop has a 16-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) screen that delivers up to a 165Hz refresh rate and 7ms response times. The IPS panel also contains an anti-glare coating to keep ambient lighting at bay and a Low Blue Light mode for reducing LED strain to your retinas.

On a full charge, you should get up to five hours of game time on the Omen and close to seven hours for HD video playback. This configuration comes with several USB ports, too, along with an HDMI 2.1 port for routing video to an external display. We’ve got plenty of great monitor deals for you to look through, too!

Take $500 off the price of the HP Omen Gaming Laptop when you order through the manufacturer today, and be sure to check out some of the other gaming laptop deals we’ve been finding.

We gave this Asus OLED laptop a four star review — it’s half off today

If you’re looking for a device we once described as a “powerful OLED laptop, done right,” you’re in luck. Among the many laptop deals happening at the moment, Amazon has reduced the price of the Asus VivoBook Pro 16X OLED laptop to $800 from $1,450. Yup, that’s very nearly 50% off with a huge $650 taken off the price. The laptop might be over two years old now, but it remains a great option, especially at this price. If you want to know more, we’re here to tell you all about it.

Why you should buy the Asus VivoBook Pro 16X OLED laptop
We reviewed the Asus VivoBook Pro 16X OLED laptop back in 2022, and the only real criticism we could come up with was its “boring design” and a “gimmicky” DialPad. Other than that, we loved that it “lasted over 16 hours on a single charge in our light web-browsing test” -- something which is impressive given its 16-inch OLED screen. As we’ve seen while analyzing OLED technology, the self-lit pixels that make the screen look so good use up a lot of power, which can be a problem for laptops. Not this one though. A sharper and better looking screen is great for watching movies on the move, but it’s also an all-round more pleasant experience while you work.

For one of the best gaming laptop deals of the week, head over to Best Buy. Today, you can buy an HP Victus 16 gaming laptop for $900 instead of $1,400. Being able to buy a laptop with such a huge screen for this price is pretty great. In the past, we’ve described the Victus range as a “new gaming brand [making] its mark” and this is a good example of what HP has accomplished in recent years. If you’re looking for a new gaming laptop, we think you’ll like this one. Read on while we take you through what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the HP Victus 16 gaming laptop
We reviewed a slightly different HP Victus 16 in 2022, but since then HP has gone from strength to strength. Crucially, the two models share a similar design. This HP Victus 16 also has a backlit keyboard with white lighting and it feels “great ... with deep travel and very snappy switches that provide excellent responsiveness for both gamers and productivity users.” It also has a larger touchpad, and the minimalist design looks eye catching with its V logo on the back.

It’s hard to put a cap on how much one should spend on a gaming laptop. And even though we see a lot of excellent gaming PC deals, these resource-heavy machines can still be quite expensive. But you get what you pay for, right? That’s why we’d like to draw your attention to the following Lenovo offer:

Right now, you can buy the Lenovo Legion 9i Gaming Laptop for $3,500. At full price, this model sells for $3,840. At the same time, it’s not the most considerable markdown in the world; every last penny counts, especially when it comes to this kind of power and performance.
