HP isn’t likely the first name gamers think of, but this mainstream 15.6-inch gaming laptop has a little bit of an edge to it with an angular design and a green glowing keyboard. It lacks the overclocking features of higher-end gaming laptops and instead offers a respectable mix of components for solid performance for both everyday tasks and gaming. This configuration features an eighth-generation Intel i5-8300H processor, 8GB of memory, a 1TB hard drive and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti graphics.

We liked the 17-inch version of this laptop for its aggressive styling, super thin cooling fan and overclockable GPU. This model on sale at Amazon is the smaller 15.6-inch version and features an eighth-generation Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 graphics and Acer’s patented AeroBlade fan. The system’s CPU and GPU are a generation or two behind, but it should still be able to crank through today’s games at reasonable settings.
