If you want to jump into PC gaming but don't have a massive amount of money in the budget or a lot of room for a full desktop setup, then this compact gaming PC from HP is a great choice. Packing the latest generation of PC hardware in a small form factor, the HP Omen Transcend 14 is just $1099.99 direct from the HP store, in their 72-hour flash sale. The original list price says $2599.99, but that seems a little excessive, and I'd take that with a pinch of salt. But the fact that this gaming laptop is only just over a thousand dollars and still contains some potent hardware and a gorgeous OLED screen makes it a standout deal.
The Omen Transcend 14 features a 14-inch, 2880 x 1800 pixel display. Not only that, but the display is an OLED panel with up to a 120Hz refresh rate and a bright, colorful display. The system is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H 16-core processor and an Nvidia RTX 5060 laptop graphics card, all stuffed into a svelte 3.6-pound white anodized aluminum chassis.
The HP Omen Transcend 14 still incorporates a full-size keyboard, even given its small size. The keyboard features pudding-style keycaps with a 4-zone RGB backlit keyboard and 26-key rollover anti-ghosting key technology. It also features Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE200 (2x2) and Bluetooth 5.4 for wireless connectivity. Plenty of USB ports adorn the sides of the laptop, with 1 USB Type-C Thunderbolt 4 port with 40Gbps speeds, power delivery, and DisplayPort integration.
A competent gaming laptop with a decent graphics card and an acceptable 16GB of precious memory, the lower limit for a gaming machine. The storage at 1TB is large enough for a few AAA games to be installed, and an RTX 5060 with 8GB of VRAM isn't going to set any framerate records, but used in conjunction with DLSS 4, it will let you achieve a very smooth gaming experience. For just $1,099.99, the HP Omen Transcend 14 is a superb pick.
