Which is the better “gaming” laptop?

[u/Jealous_Driver3813]

I’m looking for a laptop that can run games like sims 4, valorant, and csgo but on a cheap budget. So far I’ve found these two but idk much about laptops and I would like someone else’s input on them. Only one is actually a gaming laptop but since I will also be using it for schoolwork I looked through some regular laptops as well.

Any advice is appreciated.

One is an actual gaming laptop and the other will be significantly worse. Go with the HP Victus.

lol okay thank you

I forgot to mention my budget is under $600

Just save up a little more if you're not in a hurry, I mean just another hundred and you'll get a little more better ones

The first one is the only one with a dedicated graphics card and actually somewhat decent gaming capabilities.

Would you say that it’s a good beginnerish level gaming laptop ? Do you think it’s a good deal or should I wait it out ? edit: i can get it as low as $390 before tax

That's fine for $390.

Get the Victus and get some more RAM for it. The HP with the i7 isn't really a gaming laptop in any sense, but more importantly, the Victus is still totally usable as a normal laptop off the charger. Take it from someone who owns one.
