Get this RTX-powered HP gaming laptop for just $770 while you can

We love finding great deals on great laptops, and this $770 HP Victus deal at Best Buy definitely checks both boxes. That’s a $400 discount for an entry-level gaming laptop that’ll serve you well for some years.

You could spend an absolute fortune on a top-of-the-line gaming laptop—even one that’s on sale—but you don’t really need to if you aren’t an upper-rank competitive gamer or someone who chases hundreds of frames per second at Ultra settings. If all you want is reasonable gameplay with Fortnite, World of Warcraft, Minecraft, and the like, then you can get it at an excellent price with this 15.6-inch HP Victus.

That’s a good screen size for gaming, complete with a 1080p resolution and IPS panel with a fast-enough 144Hz refresh rate. It ain’t the brightest with 250 nits, but you’ll be pushing decent graphics at decent frame rates with the RTX 4050 graphics card and Intel Core i7-12650H processor. It’ll also be able to keep up with your daily workload with 16GB of RAM, though we do wish the 512GB SSD was more spacious.

All of that is pretty darn good for a $770 laptop, and it’s moderately portable with a thickness just under 1 inch and a weight just over 5 pounds. As for connectivity, you’ll enjoy two fast USB-A (one on either side), a fast USB-C, full-sized HDMI, a LAN port, an SD card slot, and a 3.5mm headset jack.

It isn’t every day you see a laptop of this caliber available for under $800, so if you’re interested, you’ll want to put your order in before this deal expires. Not the right laptop for you? No worries. Check out these other budget gaming laptops under $1,000!
