If the size of your laptop screen is the most important factor in your purchase, the HP Laptop 17z should be on your list.

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.

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.

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.

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.

While a lot of folks may not prefer 14-inch laptops due to the screen size, it's hard to deny the usefulness of a smaller and more portable form factor. As such, if you want to pick one up from one of the best laptop brands on the market, this HP Spectre X360 14 is perfect. Not only that, but there is a great early Memorial Day deal this weekend that knocks the price down to $1,330 from the original $1650, which saves you a considerable $320 in the process.

Why you should buy the HP Spectre x360 14
Probably one of the most impressive things about the HP Spectre x360 14 is the fact that it comes with a 2.8K OLED panel, which makes it absolutely gorgeous and great to look at for long periods, which is important if you spend most of your day on a laptop. On top of that, as a 2-in-1 laptop it can easily be converted to function as a tablet, and since it's not too big, that means you can hold it for longer without getting tired. You also get a pen included, and the experience is pretty good; although it may not compete with something like the Apple Pencil 2 in how good it is for creativity tasks, it's great to have nonetheless for the tablet mode.

There are a lot of excellent laptop brands on the market running early Memorial Day deals, and if you want to snag yourself a 17-inch laptop without paying an arm and a leg, then HP has the solution for you. It's not often you find 17-inch laptops on the market because they tend to be bulky, but for those who love larger screens, something like the HP Laptop 17z is perfect because it's large and won't break the bank. While it usually goes for $560, HP has discounted it quite heavily down to just $270, saving you a whopping $290 in the process.

Why you should buy the HP Laptop 17z
If you don't need a laptop for any sort of heavy lifting and just want something basic for streaming and productivity tasks, then the AMD Athlon Gold 7220U that the HP Laptop 17z comes with should be more than enough. That said, it is worth considering the upgrade to the AMD Ryzen 3 7320U for $100, which will certainly eat into the $290 discount, but it will also give you a better quality of life and some versatility. Unfortunately, there is no way to upgrade the 8GB of RAM that it comes with, but even so, it should be enough for most folks to have a relatively smooth experience, especially if you keep on top of your open tabs and apps.
