HP Gaming Laptops

OMEN Gaming Laptop 17-db0047nr 

Price: $1799.99 $1,399.99

For the PC gamer who wants desktop-grade power without the desktop

Packed with an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 graphics and AMD Ryzen™ 7 processor, the OMEN 17 Laptop delivers desktop-level performance in a sleek, portable package. Gamers will appreciate the 17.3-inch QHD IPS display, offering vibrant colors and wide viewing angles for an immersive visual experience.

With a 240Hz refresh rate, you’ll enjoy ultra-smooth gameplay, reducing motion blur and ensuring responsive, fluid action in fast-paced competitive titles. Plus, the redesigned fan system increases airflow by 29%. This helps keep the laptop and its powerful components cool while extending its lifespan for years of reliable performance.

OMEN Transcend Gaming Laptop 16t-u100, 16.1"

Price: Starting at $1599.99 $1,199.99

For the PC gamer who works and plays hard

Like the OMEN 17, the OMEN Transcend Gaming Laptop also packs a punch with impressive specs for its size. Powered by an Intel® Core™ i7-14700HX processor, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4050 GPU, and 16GB of RAM, this laptop is built to handle demanding games and creative tasks with ease.

A standout feature of the OMEN Transcend is its 2.8K OLED display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, which provides exceptional color accuracy, making it an ideal choice for video editing and color grading. The 16-inch display strikes a balance between portability and performance, and it pairs perfectly with the HyperX Knight Backpack (mentioned later in this guide) for the ultimate portable duo.

Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15t-fa100 

Price: $999.99 $649.99

For the PC gamer who wants a solid gaming experience on a budget

Budget options often get a bad rap for lacking in performance, but thanks to advances in technology, even more affordable laptops offer a surprisingly solid gaming experience.

The HP Victus Laptop occupies a sweet spot in HP's lineup — offering great value with a solid set of specs that cater to mainstream gamers. While it’s a step below the OMEN series in terms of power, the Victus still delivers a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for 1080p or 1440p gaming. Its slightly less powerful components offer a trade-off for better battery life, and for a bit more, you can upgrade to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4050 GPU without breaking the bank.

HP Gaming Desktop

Before diving into our desktop recommendation, a quick note on Intel processors: Previously, stability issues were found in some 13th and 14th generation Intel desktop CPUs. Although Intel has released a microcode fix, it only applies to new chips and won’t resolve issues in existing ones. Buyers of new systems with these chips, once the fix is applied, should be unaffected. However, the delay in addressing the problem has impacted Intel's reputation and is something to consider.

OMEN 35L Gaming Desktop GT16-0000m PC 

Price: Starting at $999.99

For the PC gamer who is looking for all-out performance right out of the box

When choosing a desktop over a laptop, don’t settle for less — invest a little more now for a much better gaming experience down the line. At a minimum, serious gamers playing the latest titles will want at least 1TB of storage, 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4060 graphics card.

The OMEN 35L Gaming Desktop GT16-0000m is an excellent choice for this setup, starting at a reasonable $999.99. It offers a solid balance of power and performance, with room to upgrade, should you decide to go for a more powerful GPU like the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 SUPER. We went with an AMD processor on this profile, but the customization of this machine is up to you.

For those seeking even more firepower, the OMEN 45L offers enthusiast-level performance, starting at $1,999.99. But if you’re considering this kind of machine, you’re probably already looking at higher-end systems anyway.

HP Gaming Monitors
