HP’s latest in its line of budget gaming laptops, the HP Victus 15, is created solely for the price-savvy buyer in mind. And even the lowest priced version can play high-end titles well while still balancing most other tasks that the user may need. We wouldn’t suggest investing in this laptop if you need something with a long battery life or a flashier appearance, but given its excellent price, this is definitely one you’ll want to consider.
