Whoa! Why wait until the end of the month for a “Black Friday deal” when there are excellent deals that are just as good—or even better—going on right now in the days leading up? Seriously, check out this 16-inch HP Omen gaming laptop that’s now $1,149.99 (was $1,579.99) at Best Buy. That’s as good as any Black Friday deal, for sure.
This isn’t some laptop that barely boots or struggles along. It’s packed with a powerful config, starting with a superb Ryzen 9 8940HX processor, bolstered with 32GB of DDR5 RAM, founded on a spacious 1TB SSD for storage, and crowned with a glorious Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card that unlocks the greatness of DLSS 4 and levels up your gaming experience with multi-frame gen and upscaling.
This is a powerhouse that can do it all, including intensive tasks like streaming and video editing. And the display is no joke either. You’re looking at a lovely 16-inch IPS screen at 1920×1200 with a 144Hz refresh rate, which is pretty much the sweet spot for a great experience at a great price. Ports include HDMI 2.1, a single USB-C, triple USB-A, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The 1080p webcam is nice, too.
A few corners are cut on this laptop: the 300 nits of brightness could be higher, the 4-cell battery doesn’t have incredible longevity, the 5.42-pound weight is chunky, and the 1-inch thickness isn’t exactly slim. It comes with a standard 1-year warranty.
But if you’re a gamer, it’s hard to pass up this crazy $430 discount. With PC hardware shortages spiking prices, now might be the best time to upgrade, so snag this laptop for $1,150 at Best Buy while you can. If you want something cheaper, see the best gaming laptops under $1,000.
