The HP Victus 15 may not be the most powerful gaming laptop we’ve ever seen, but it’s affordable and one of the cheapest options we’ve seen that still offers a discrete graphics card (even though it’s an older GTX 1650). Under the hood, you’ll find an Intel Core i5-12450H CPU, an Nvidia GTX 1650 GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. You can play most titles at 30 frames-per-second, but we’d recommend lowering the graphics setting. Although the low price is the main draw here, this laptop still has a good keyboard and touchpad. Processor performance is reliable, too. If you’re seriously strapped for cash but need the additional oomph from a discrete graphics card, then the HP Victus 15 is the one to pick.
