Best Buy has started gearing up for Black Friday with exclusive deals, including one on what might be HP's best budget laptop. You can now get the HP Victus 15 at Best Buy for $429.99 (was $799.99).
It's an incredible value for one of our best budget gaming laptops, especially now that it's even cheaper. Although the HP Victus 16 surpasses its predecessor, the HP Victus 15 is still an ideal choice for those who want the basics or a regular laptop that also doubles as a gaming laptop for basic titles at medium-low settings.
Today's best HP gaming laptop deal
One of the selling points of the HP Victus 15 is its value for money, which is now even better after this huge discount. In our HP Victus 15 review, we highlighted its gaming performance (again, at this price) and its ability to function as a work laptop.
The HP Victus 15 is powered by the mid-range AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS processor and integrated AMD Radeon RX 6550M graphics, keeping the cost down. It also runs on 8GB of RAM and includes 512GB of storage, which is a generous amount for a budget gaming laptop and enough to store a decent number of games.
You won't get the same graphical quality as more expensive gaming laptops, but you can still play games like Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p and with a 144Hz refresh rate. It also comes with free Xbox PC Game Pass, so you can take advantage of the subscription for three months after activation.
If you have the budget for a beefier laptop, consider the other options on our list of the best gaming laptops. For other laptops of this size, we also have a separate list of the best 15-inch laptops.
