Other retailers are racing to get deals out the door and discount the laptops, accessories, and more. Right now, you can save $380 on the HP Victus 15.6, which brings the price of the gaming laptop to $599 at Walmart. For that price, you get a PC with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, an AMD Ryzen 8645HS, and a display with a 144Hz refresh rate.

The laptop also supports AMD FreeSync Premium. Just make sure to level your expectations. This model of the Victus 15.6 is for 1920×1080 gaming. Depending on the title you choose and if that game supports tech like DLSS 3, you can expect respectable frame rates.
