The HP 17 Laptop isn’t just a larger version of the HP 14 Laptop with its 17.3-inch HD+ screen, it’s also an upgrade in the performance department with the 11th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, Intel UHD Graphics, and 8GB of RAM. It’s still a far cry from the top-of-the-line models of the best laptops, but it will be quick when you multitask between several open apps. The laptop also features more storage space with its 256GB SSD, still with Windows 11 Home pre-installed.

If you think a 2-in-1 laptop with a 15.6-inch display will be too large to carry around for you, then the HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14 may be your best bet with its smaller 14-inch touchscreen, but with improved Full HD resolution. The device’s performance is similar, with the 11th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and 8GB of RAM, with Windows 11 Home pre-installed in its 256GB SSD, while offering the same 2-in-1 capabilities.

Prime Day gaming laptop deals are always popular because these machines usually require a large investment, so offers like HP’s discount for the HP Omen 16 gaming laptop are highly coveted.

Playing games is easy on the eyes with the gaming laptop’s 16.1-inch Full HD display, which features TUV Eyesafe Low Blue Light technology to protect your eyes from harmful blue light emissions.

Gaming laptops are typically quite expensive. To have an effective one, you've got to get good storage, a nice processor, and likely throw in above-average RAM. We've all seen the big towers of pre-built desktop computers — they're big, and that space is totally non-existent in a gaming laptop. In other words, a gaming laptop is a feat of engineering. That's why we're particularly interested in gaming laptop deals, whenever they come up. And right now they're coming up via Best Buy's 3-Day Sale, an aptly named sale that lasts for... three days. It's ending Sunday, so go check these deals out now.
HP Victus 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop — $550, was $800

The key stat/hardware line (AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS processor, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card, 512GB SSD storage) of the HP Victus can sound intimidating, even with 8GB of RAM. That's why we're delightfully shocked that this laptop is nearing the $500 mark after discounts. For your gaming needs, it also has an anti-glare monitor with 144Hz refresh rate. While it still won't beat using the best ethernet cables, the WiFi 6 standard will help you get your games downloaded fast. Other features gamers will enjoy are the full keyboard with numpad (traditional ASCII-based roguelikes, anyone?) to AI noise removal for clear communication with your teammates.
