Best Laptop Deal of the Day: A Budget HP Gaming Rig For Nearly Half Price

Today’s laptop deal is a budget gaming laptop that offers serviceable performance for an affordable price. Weighing 5.06 pounds, this laptop likely won’t see a lot of travel time, but it’s portable enough to make it to class or a friend’s house for some cooperative play. And it’s discounted enough (by 47%) to qualify this as a great deal.

This HP Victus is the baseline for more casual play, allowing you to hop into a Fortnite Battle Royale or surf the web without issue. I wouldn’t recommend using it for 3D rendering or other intensive tasks like video editing, but for day-to-day computing and the like, this economy gaming laptop will get the job done. Sub-$500 is more than fair a price to pay for this configuration and it also includes three free months of PC Game Pass so you can discover your next gaming love. That’s a pretty sweet deal.
