If you're looking to transition from a gaming desktop to something more portable, now is the time to do so. Modern day gaming laptops today are truly "gaming-worthy", with the most powerful models able to play the latest games at super high resolutions and with ray tracing enabled, a notion that was unheard of just a few years ago. Prices have risen over the years, but all it takes is Cyber Monday to negate that trend.

The HP Cyber Monday Sale has officially commenced and gamers looking for a laptop upgrade will find plenty of deals right up their alley. OMEN Transcend and OMEN MAX gaming laptops are all on sale right now with discounts of up to $1,500 off. Score an affordable yet capable RTX 5060 laptop for under $1,000 or splurge on an RTX 5080 powerhouse that will still keep you under $2,000. Every deal I've chosen for this list offers a lot of value for your money.

OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Laptop for $1,299.99

Lower than Black Friday

HP just dropped the price of the OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Laptop to just $1,299.99 after an extra $50 off coupon code "STUFFING50". Specs include a 16" 1920x1200 display, your choice of Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX or AMD Ryzen AI 7 H350 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. This system can be customized if any of the specs aren't to your liking. I'd recommend upgrading to the 2560x1600 OLED display for an extra $150. The RTX 5070 Ti is a powerful mobile GPU that should easily handle even the latest demanding games on the laptop's 2K display. It's better than the RTX 4080 especially with DLSS 4.

OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop From $1,699.99

Lower than Black Friday

If you want something even more powerful, then check out these OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 gaming laptops for as low as $1,699.99 with free shipping after up to $1,500 in instant discounts and $100 off code "GOBBLE100". Aside from the GPU, this laptop has been upgraded with a higher resolution 16" 2560x1600 display, a more powerful and higher core-count Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX or AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX375 processor, and double the RAM (the Intel model also gets double the storage). The RTX 5080 is an absolute monster of a mobile GPU that surpasses the previous generation's top performer, the RTX 4090. You could even enable ray tracing!

OMEN MAX 16" RTX 5060 Gaming Laptop for $975

Lower than Black Friday

If your budget limits you to under $1,000, don't fret because you can still get yourself a powerful gaming laptop with excellent build quality. This OMEN MAX 16 configuration cost just $974.99 after an $800 instant discount and $25 off code "GRAVY25". It features a 16" 1920x1200 165Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen AI 7 H350 processor, GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 5060 is about 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 4060 that it replaces and approaches the performance of the RTX 4070, especially with DLSS 4 enabled.

OMEN Transcend 14 RTX 5060 Ultra-Portable Gaming Laptop

The OMEN Transcend 14 is HP's thinnest and lightest gaming laptop, measuring just 0.71" thin and weighing in at about 3.6 pounds (about as thin and light as the much pricier Razer Blade 14). Right now you can get it for as low as $1,249.99 for Black Friday after a $750 off instant discount. It's equipped with a gorgeous 14" 2880x1800 OLED display, efficient Intel Core Ultra 7 255H CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of LPDDR5X onboard RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. Note that the RTX 5060 GPU is slightly throttled (lower TGP rating) to prevent overheating in such a slim enclosure.
