One of the best value gaming laptop deals today is over at Best Buy. You can buy an HP Victus gaming laptop for just $500 instead of $800. While it may not have the latest gaming hardware, its still excellent value for those who want to play some slightly older games or tweak the detail settings on other titles. While the $300 discount applies, were taking a quick look at what this HP Victus offers.

　　Why you should buy the HP Victus gaming laptop

Were super impressed to see 512GB of SSD storage as we were expecting just 256GB at this price. That gives you plenty of room to install a few different games with many titles taking up a lot more than they used to. Wed have preferred to have seen 16GB of memory but its not too big a loss depending on the games you play. Gaming fans will note that the graphics card used is one or two generations behind the current best gaming laptops but the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 remains more than capable of playing many of the latest games without a hitch.

Related The graphics card is teamed up with a 15.6-inch full HD screen with 144Hz refresh ate and anti-glare properties. The refresh rate means no need to worry about motion blur so itll look great at all times. The laptop also has a cool looking backlit keyboard while theres an enlarged touchpad, and an integrated numeric keypad.

Other useful features continue to come. These include HP Fast Charge so you can get from 0 to 50% charge in about 30 minutes, while theres an HP Wide Vision HD camera with wide-angle field of view. The display also has micro-edges so you can squeeze a larger screen into a smaller shell.

It all adds up to ensure that the HP Victus is an appealing option for gamers on a budget. In particular, were thinking its great for students or those short on space and money. It normally costs $800 but right now, its down to $500 at Best Buy making it a super tempting proposition.
