HP makes high-end gaming affordable for all
HP had earned a star-studded reputation as one of the world’s most pioneering leaders in modern computer technology. With the age of gaming growing more omnipresent than ever before, we’ve stepped up to the plate to answer the call for more affordable gaming laptops.
From gorgeously sleek HP OMEN models to our unexpectedly powerful HP Pavilion gaming series, there’s
a budget gaming laptop for every avid gamer out there. HP expertise lies in our ability to build superpowered gaming laptops that do more than live up to expectations. Go beyond mediocrity and start climbing the leaderboards the moment you upgrade to an HP gaming rig.
What is a gaming laptop?
Though
gaming laptops and ordinary laptops may feature the same clamshell form factor, it’s what’s on the inside that sets the two apart. Gaming laptops are specially designed to accommodate the demanding hardware specs of today’s most popular gaming titles.
Gamers require beefed-up processors, graphics cards, storage capacity, and RAM capability to load up all of the extraordinary adventures that await on their desktops.
What should you look for in a budget gaming laptop?
1. Processor
Think of the computer processor (CPU) as the brain of your laptop. The more intelligent the brain, the more capable the machine. When it comes down to performance, the processor has the largest impact on the potential of your PC. On you hunt for the perfect budget gaming laptop, be sure to do
your fair share of research on the type of processor that best suits your needs.
HP gaming laptops feature two primary types of processors; AMD® and Intel®. Both have shining reputations within the gaming community, so you can rest assured knowing whatever choice you make is a great one.
2. Graphics card
Video game graphics have become such an important part of the gaming experience that the PC buying process has evolved around
prioritizing graphics cards above the vast majority of other important specs. HP’s collection of budget gaming laptops are home to highly-lauded NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics cards, bringing your favorite fantasy worlds to vibrant, crystal-clear life.
3. Price
No matter how big or small of a budget you’re working with, price matters. Though gaming laptops can teeter into prices that are well over 1,000, HP gives you access to all of that gaming goodness for an affordable price. Our budget gaming laptops start at $650 and range higher with more impressive specs and offerings.
What lines of gaming laptops does HP carry?
Among our expansive collection of impressive laptops for all kinds of PC users are our two proprietary gaming lines: the HP OMEN and the HP Pavilion.

HP Pavilion gaming laptops
The
HP Pavilion gaming laptop series are specially-modified versions of our well-loved HP Pavilion laptops. Built from the ground up with gamers in mind, HP Pavilion gaming laptops offer a much sleeker aesthetic to their standard HP Pavilion siblings.
