If you're in the market for a versatile gaming laptop that won't break the bank, the HP Victus can handle almost any modern game on at least medium settings. The high refresh rate makes it a great option for esports titles like League of Legends or Overwatch, and it has a large enough drive to store multiple games at once.

If you've been waiting all year to buy a new laptop, it's time to pounce. We're seeing some deep discounts on laptops we like from Asus, Dell, and Samsung.

As a brief aside, the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer is now live through Dec. 2; M2 and M3 MacBooks come with free vouchers worth up to $200. That doesn't beat any of the dollars-off discounts available elsewhere, but it could be a practical option for those enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem.
