Buying a gaming laptop is very difficult since they are some of the most expensive comptuers out there. This is doubly so when the machine is housing current generation hardware. I’ve often shopped for gaming laptop, and I always cringe at the sight of their price tags.
Lucky for you, I have a great new deal on a gaming laptop. You can buy an HP Victus 15 for $1,030 over at Best Buy. That is a massive $2,970 discount.

You do get a pretty solid machine at that price. This configuration houses an Intel Core i7-13620H deca-core processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and most notable, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card. Granted, the RTX 5060 isn’t the most powerful GPU in its series (that honor belongs to the 5090 card), but it is still a solid component. It’s better than what I have in my personal gaming PC. Expect a top-notch performance from the RTX 5060.
The HP Victus 15 is part of a recent wave of gaming laptops that are moving away from bulky designs and opting for a sleeker look. This laptop measures 20.37 x 12.10 x 2.72 inches, which is slim enough to fit inside most bags. You’ll also notice that it doesn’t have a bunch of RGB lights around its form factor like an Alienware. Instead, the Victus 15 goes for a more subtle look, allowing it to fit in better in an office setting.
In fact, its hardware enables this HP device to be an effective graphic design and video editing machine. Other notable features include a 15.6-inch Full HD display, a large touchpad, and an “updated thermal design” to keep its internals cool.
