Score! RTX 5060-equipped HP Omen 16 is at its lowest ever price — $300 off for a limited time
You can now grab this HP Omen 16 with an RTX 5060 for $300 off at Best Buy, taking it down to $1,279. Now, I've been crawling through gaming laptop with Nvidia's latest GPU ever since they launched, and prices have been well over the $1,500 mark. Just look at other RTX 5060 gaming laptops like this $1,799 Asus ROG Strix G16 and $1,659 Lenovo Legion Pro 5.
That makes this epic deal a steal, and considering the HP Omen 16 also boasts an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD, you're getting next-gen PC gaming with a boatload of value.
This HP Omen 16 with an Nvidia GeForece RTX 5060 GPU is now one of the cheapest RTX 50-series gaming laptops I've seen, all thanks to that $300 price cut. It packs some powerful specs, too, with its AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB for storage. Throw in its 16-inch 2K (1920 x 1200) display with 144Hz refresh rate, and you're looking at entry-level gaming laptop that packs a punch.
I got the chance to play games on an RTX 5060 gaming laptop, and was majorly impressed by the performance it was able to push out despite the 8GB GDDR7 video memory it has on board. Much of that has to do with Nvidia's DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation tech, and it makes an entry-level, more budget-friendly machine become more of a gaming powerhouse.
As noted above, though, the launch of RTX 5060 gaming laptops have seen less-than-wallet-friendly prices. But the HP Omen 16 in this deal finally makes these machines worthwhile — especially if you're looking to upgrade from an RTX 30-series rig or its you're first gaming laptop.
Just check out the benchmarks below to see the gaming performance jump you can expect.
Even in games like Cyberpunk 2077 at 1200p with high settings, the RTX 5060 could reach over 190 FPS with DLSS 4 multi-frame gen x4.
We've seen how the HP Omen Max 16 handles and stated it's one of the finest gaming laptops we've tested, and the more affordable HP Omen 16 looks to be no different with its similar design but with parred down specs.
Having the latest AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX CPU will power through demanding tasks and multi-tasking, and offering 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD promises speedy performance for productivity and, of course, gaming. Plus, the 16-inch 2K (1920 x 1200) display with 144Hz refresh rate is great for graphically-intense PC titles and fast-paced multiplayer games.
Don't expect the monster gaming performance of an RTX 5090, but do expect quality visuals and high frame rates (thanks to Nvidia's AI boosts) at a more affordable price range for a gaming laptop. If this all sounds right up your alley, don't miss out on saving $300 on the HP Omen 16.
That isn't the only machine getting a major discount, as you can also get up to $500 off these RTX 50-series OLED gaming laptops, too.

Big Pullback in Stocks That Many Expected Has Yet to Arrive
Despite Tuesday's wobble, the narrative that has been fueling the sharp recovery in US equities since April remains supportive as the drivers of the rally are still intact. The pullback on the Nasdaq was largely due to profit taking on Nvidia Corp. and Palantir Technologies Inc., two of the hottest stocks this year. Investors rotated into defensive names to diversify beyond the most crowded trades, while staying invested in a fundamentally solid market.

Wall St futures slip after tech selloff; earnings, Fed meet in focus
(Reuters) -U.S. stock index futures declined on Wednesday, following a tech selloff on Wall Street, as investors geared up for more retail earnings and a crucial Federal Reserve symposium later this week. The tech sector was behind much of the market recovery from the April selloff, but investors have started to take stock of the elevated valuations, sending the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq to their worst day in more than two weeks on Tuesday. Deepening concerns of government interference with companies, sources said the Trump administration was looking into taking equity stakes in chip companies in exchange for grants under the CHIPS Act - just weeks after signing unprecedented revenue-sharing deals with Nvidia and AMD. Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and Intel were marginally lower in premarket trading. Nvidia is expected to report quarterly results on Aug. 27. "For now, this looks like a mild and possibly necessary correction after an extremely strong run for this space," said AJ Bell's head of financial analysis, Danni Hewson. "Nvidia's quarterly earning next week now look even more crucial than they already were." A slew of earnings from big-box retailers are also in the spotlight now as investors seek a clearer picture on discretionary spending at a time when consumer sentiment has taken a hit from concerns around tariffs pushing up prices in the months ahead. Lowe's declined 1% a day after rival Home Depot missed expectations on quarterly results. Estee Lauder fell 4.3%, while Target and TJX Companies were marginally lower ahead of their respective reports. Walmart's results are due on Thursday. At 05:37 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were down 69 points, or 0.15%, S&P 500 E-minis were down 8.5 points, or 0.13%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 40.25 points, or 0.17%. Minutes from the Fed's July meeting, where interest rates were left unchanged, are expected at 2:00 p.m. ET. It could set the tone before the central bank's highly anticipated conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, between August 21 and 23. Chair Jerome Powell is expected to speak on Friday and his remarks will be scrutinized for any clues on monetary policy, even as investors price in a 25-basis-point interest rate cut in September, according to data compiled by LSEG. Traders "remain wary that Powell could strike a more hawkish tone, emphasizing tariff-driven inflation risks and pushing back against the degree of easing expected by the market," said Bas Kooijman, CEO of DHF Capital S.A. Remarks from Governor Christopher Waller and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic are expected later in the day. Recent economic data has suggested that the economy is yet to feel the full impact of tariffs and strategists expect the lingering uncertainty to temper market optimism, leaving the benchmark S&P 500 to potentially end the year just below current near-record levels. On the trade front, the Commerce Department slapped 50% import levies on more than 400 "derivative" steel and aluminum products. Among others, Futu Holdings gained 4.3% after reporting a jump in quarterly revenue.
