If you need a budget laptop for basic tasks, you can’t go wrong with the HP Laptop 15z. With its AMD Athlon Silver 7120U processor, AMD Radeon Graphics, and 8GB of RAM, it’s going to be a dependable device for doing online research and working with productivity apps. The laptop features a 128GB SSD with Windows 11 Home pre-loaded, and a relatively large 15.6-inch HD screen for its low price.

If the size of your laptop screen is the most important factor in your purchase, the HP Laptop 17z should be on your list. Its main selling point is the big 17.3-inch HD screen, which runs at 1600 x 900 resolution — it’s as big as a display can get on a laptop. The internal components of the HP Laptop 17z are also budget-friendly, with the entry-level AMD Ryzen 5 7530U processor and AMD Radeon Graphics. It also has 128GB of storage, so you’ll have enough room for some photo and video projects before needing external hard drive deals to expand your storage.

HP Pavilion Laptop 15t — $400, was $900

The HP Pavilion Laptop 15t is a great budget laptop that offers a nice middle-ground between the ultra-budget options that don’t have a lot of power and the more expensive laptops below. It has an excellent mid-range Intel Core i5-1335U processor that will handle pretty much most things you throw it at, while the 256GB of storage should be enough for most. The 8GB of RAM is slightly on the lower side, although you can upgrade it to 12GB for $40, which is worth considering if you can swing it.

HP Pavilion 14 2-in-1 laptop — $550, was $580

For a versatile but affordable device, check out the HP Pavilion 14 2-in-1 laptop. With the ability to switch between laptop mode and tablet mode, you’ll be able to maximize its 14-inch Full HD touchscreen. In terms of performance, the HP Pavilion 14 2-in-1 laptop is pretty decent with its 13th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, Intel UHD Graphics, and 8GB of RAM, which are supported by Windows 11 Home on a 256GB SSD.

The HP Victus 15 is one of HP’s most popular gaming laptops, and part of the reason for that is the price. This model of the Victus will let you play a lot of modern AAA games for $500 — but you won’t be playing them at their highest settings. It has respectable components for the price though: an Intel Core i5-13500H, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, and 8GB of RAM. This kind of hardware will suit you pretty well for most modern games, but you may want to consider a RAM upgrade in the future.

For a gaming laptop with a larger screen and more powerful performance, you can go with the HP Victus 16. It will be able to play quite a few games with its Intel Core i5-14450HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card, and 16GB of RAM. The gaming laptop will also give you a great look at AAA titles with its 16.1-inch Full HD screen, and you can install multiple games on its 512 GB SSD that ships with Windows 11 Home out of the box.

HP Spectre x360 14 2-in-1 laptop — $1,550, was $1,850

If you’re not interested in gaming but need a powerful laptop for work, the Spectre is a line of HP laptops to look into. This particular model is an x360, meaning it can fold over into a tablet with a touchscreen. The 14-inch display runs at 2.8K resolution, which is the highest on this list. Inside, it sports an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and 16GB of RAM, with Intel Arc Graphics. If you like speed and power but mostly work in Microsoft Office and browsers, the HP Spectre x360 14 2-in-1 laptop is a good option.

OMEN Transcend Laptop 16 — $1,800, was $2,100

If you’re looking for a gaming laptop, then you’ll be happy to know that HP makes a few really good ones, like this OMEN Transcend. It comes with a powerful RTX 4070, which is a solid 1440p graphics card and should let you handle over 100fps with some compromises here and there. That’s great because the screen can hit a whopping 240Hz at a 2560 x 1600 resolution, so you get a lot of leeway in terms of what you want to prioritize. Besides that, you get a high-end Intel Core i7-14700HX and a whopping 32 GB of DDR5 RAM.

If you want to buy a laptop with a relatively large screen, the good news is that you don't have to break the bank with your purchase because you can get the HP Laptop 17t for a very affordable $300. It's on sale from HP with a $200 discount on its original price of $500, but there's no telling how much time is remaining before this offer expires. We don't think it will stay available for long because laptop deals like this almost always get sold out quickly, so complete the transaction as soon as possible to make sure that you don't miss out on the savings.

Why you should buy the HP Laptop 17t
With the 17.3-inch display of the HP Laptop 17t, you'll have a lot of screen real estate to work on your projects and watch streaming shows. It's pretty affordable for a laptop with this large screen, which offers HD+ resolution for sharp details and vibrant colors. However, despite its big display, the HP Laptop 17t maintains portability because it's only 0.78 of an inch thick, which makes it easy to slide into your bag when you're on the go, and it won't be too heavy to carry around because it only weighs about 4.6 pounds.

Gaming can be a lot of fun, but if you're the sort of person who doesn't want to deal with a big gaming desktop, then going for a gaming laptop makes a lot of sense. Of course, you aren't going to get as much power under the hood as you would with a desktop, and it might cost a bit more, but you do get a lot of mobility and an included screen in the process. Either way, modern gaming laptops have become really great, and even the budget-oriented stuff can play some of the best PC games out there.

To that end, we've gone out and collected some of our favorite gaming laptop deals out there. On the other hand, if you don't want something that yells "gaming laptop," check out some of these other laptop deals that include more traditional-looking laptops with some gaming specs.
