Amazon Prime Day deals aren’t just limnited to Amazon, as other retailers are slashing prices across the board. If you’ve been thinking about buying a new gaming laptop, this is one of the best times to do so. And I’ve found a great deal on an excellent gaming notebook you’ll want to consider.

Right now, the HP Omen Transcend 14 is $1,429 at HP. That’s not too shabby considering you’re saving $400 thanks to this sale. Anyone who might be new to the world of PC gaming or who wants a relatively affordable gaming laptop should give HP’s machine a serious look, especially at this reduced price.

While we’ve yet to test this model, I did briefly go hands-on with this new HP Omen Transcend 14 during a recent event. Like its predecessor, this is a gaming laptop that doesn’t look the part thanks to its understated design. Because of that, it’s a machine you won’t feel embarrassed to use in public. That said, the keyboard deck’s RGB lighting does look quite nice.

Inside, the Omen Transcend 14 packs an Intel Core 7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. The RTX 5050 GPU might be lower-end, but if you enable Nvidia’s DLSS 4 in games that support it, you can still enjoy games at smooth frame rates. DLSS 4 is perfect for budget machines like this, and it’s a feature you’ll want to take advantage of.

The 14-inch 3K (2880 x 1800) OLED looked phenomenal when I checked out FCB: Firebreak. We’d have to get this machine in for proper display testing, but to my eyes, the screen is sufficiently bright and colorful. The up to 120Hz refresh rate and 0.2ms response time should also ensure a smooth and responsive experience.

I test gaming laptops for a living, and can confidently say this configuration of the HP Omen Transcend 14 should be good enough for anyone looking to get into PC gaming. And thanks to its svelte design, you don’t have to look awkward while enjoying your favorite hobby. Act fast before this deal is over.
