My jaw dropped to the floor cartoon-style when I first laid eyes on this deal. A gaming laptop for under $500?! If you’re looking for a seriously inexpensive gaming machine, you’ve definitely come to the right place. Best Buy is selling the HP Victus for $449.99 during Black Friday week, which is a savings of $350. That’s an absolutely insane price for a gaming laptop with a discrete graphics card.
The HP Victus comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. The RTX 2050 GPU is two generations old and a bit underpowered, so you’ll need to dial the graphics settings back on newer and more intensive titles. That said, it’s absolutely worthwhile if you’re looking for a gaming laptop that won’t break the bank; you never find GPU-equipped notebooks this affordable, with anything under $1,000 being considered a deal.
The 15.6-inch display has a resolution of 1920×1080 and a refresh rate of 144Hz. That means you can expect relatively smooth gameplay and a sharp enough picture. This rig features a backlit keyboard with an integrated numeric pad, a high refresh rate anti-glare display, and so much more.
And did we mention this laptop has a discrete graphics card and costs just $450? That’s truly wild and utterly rare. Don’t miss out.
