Even with discounts, gaming laptop deals can still get pretty expensive. That’s not the case with the budget-friendly HP Victus 15, which is currently even cheaper from Best Buy. From its original price of $800, it’s down to only $480 for savings of $320. We’re not sure how much time is remaining on this bargain though, so if you want to get this gaming laptop for a very affordable price, you’re going to have to push through with your purchase within the day.

Why you should buy the HP Victus 15 gaming laptop

As a device that’s designed for budget-minded gamers, you shouldn’t expect the HP Victus 15 to match the performance of the most advanced models of the best gaming laptops. However, it’s capable of delivering decent speeds when you’re playing the best PC games with its AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS processor, AMD Radeon RX 6550M graphics card, and 8GB of RAM. You won’t be able to play games at their highest settings, but that’s an acceptable trade-off considering the cheap price of the HP Victus 15. Every purchase of the gaming laptop also comes with a one-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, for access to a massive library of titles.

The HP Victus 15 features a 15.6-inch screen with Full HD resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, so you’ll enjoy sharp details and smooth animations while you’re playing, while AMD’s FreeSync Premium will keep you immersed in the worlds that you’re exploring as it will eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. The gaming laptop ships with Windows 11 Home pre-installed in its 512GB SSD, and its battery can last up to 8.5 hours with HP Fast Charge technology capable of replenishing up to 50% after just 30 minutes of charging.

Gamers who are on a tight budget can still buy a new gaming laptop through offers like Best Buy’s $320 discount for the HP Victus 15. It’s on sale for only $480, which is nearly half its sticker price of $800, but there’s no telling for how long. There’s a chance that the price of the HP Victus 15 gaming laptop returns to normal as soon as tomorrow, so if you want to get it for much cheaper than usual, we highly recommend completing the transaction to secure one right now.

1Password lets Claude inside your accounts without handing over the keys
Claude can now sign in on your behalf while your password stays hidden, though trusting it after login is a separate decision
1Password official

1Password is giving Claude a way into your online accounts without making your passwords part of the bargain. The new 1Password for Claude integration can fill login details while keeping the credentials hidden from Anthropic’s AI agent.

Available now on Mac, the feature kicks in when Claude reaches a sign-in page during a task. Claude requests a saved login, then you approve or deny it. If approved, 1Password submits the credentials through a separate encrypted channel. Passwords and one-time codes never enter Claude’s context or Anthropic’s systems.

Gemini could finally let you choose how friendly it sounds
Finally, you can stop Gemini from sounding like your HR manager
Google Gemini

Google has spent the past few months making Gemini sound more natural, expressive, and conversational. Now, it appears the company is preparing to give users far more control over how the AI speaks.

Code spotted by Android Authority's APK Insights - the latest beta version of the Google app suggests Gemini may soon allow users to customise its voice across four separate parameters: Energy, Formality, Warmth, and Speed. Instead of choosing from a fixed list of personalities, users could tweak these characteristics to create a voice that better suits their preferences.
