Check reviews across the web and you'll see that the HP Omen is one of the nicest built gaming laptops for the price. This model even has a few extra bells and whistles, like the 144Hz display, RGB-backlit keyboard, and Bang & Olufsen speakers. This bundle also includes a free HP OMEN 400 gaming mouse and HP OMEN 800 headset, a $100 value.

This is the least expensive 17" gaming laptop we've found with an Intel Core i7 processor and a very capable GTX 1660 Ti video card. It is also one of the lightest 17" gaming laptops we've seen at just under 6 pounds.

Display: 14" 1920x1080 IPS Touchscreen ● CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U 4-Core ● GPU: AMD Radeon Vega 8 (Onboard) ● RAM: 8GB ● Storage: 128GB SSD ● Weight: 4.45lbs

Use code "LTINSP145AFF" "Convertible" simply means that the screen can be tilted back a full 180 degrees so that you can use the laptop in tablet mode. It makes it alot easier to take advantage of the touchscreen  capabilities. The Ryzen 5 is comparable in perfomance to an Intel Core i5 U-series processor, however the Vega 8 onboard graphics is much more capable than Intel's UHD onboard solution.

The Alienware m15 is the newly designed 15" laptop and weighs only 4.8 pounds, which is remarkable given its payload. We reviewed the m15 and highly recommend it.

Display: 13.3" 4K Touchscreen IPS ● CPU: 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8265U 4-Core ● RAM: 8GB ● Storage: 256GB SSD ● Weight: 2.7lbs

Use code "LTXPS133AFF" This is the ultimate laptop for the road warrior or student at a very, very good price. This laptop is lighter than a MacBook Air thanks to its unibody aluminum and carbon fiber materials. It has a gorgeous 4K display that's even touchscreen. There are no discrete graphics, but for the intended audience, this would just add unnecessary heat, noise, and power consumption and reduce battery life.
