MSI Cyborg 15: was $999 now $859 @ Amazon
The MSI Cyborg 15 certainly stands out from the crowd, what with its unique cyberpunk-inspired design. In terms of gaming performance, this budget laptop handed in surprisingly good results during our tests and it's capable of running games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Far Cry 6 at 1080p / 60 fps. Battery life also proves strong for a gaming laptop.

HP OmniBook X: was $1,149 now $999 @ HP
What the HP OmniBook X lacks in style it more than makes up in substance thanks to its fast performance and exceptional battery life. Though an OLED option would’ve been nice, its 14-inch display delivers sharp and clear images, while its touchscreen gives you added versatility for work.

HP Omen Transcend 14: was $1,449 now $1,029 @ HP
