$1399) at Walmart . And in the UK, the same spec HP laptop is down to 1199 (was 1399) at Currys .

This 16-inch model is packed with a high-performance Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor, RTX 5050 graphics card, and 16GB DDR5 of memory, which will making running image and video editing software feel snappy and responsive.

Now, it's not an ultra-cheap RTX laptop, but this discount does come in
nearer the budget end for a model with the chops to tackle graphics-intensive tasks like content creation (generally, the cheapest I've seen is the HP Victus 15 and Acer Nitro V 15, which run to around $800-$900 for the base trim). Below, I've also rounded up an extra selection of US deals and UK
deals with big savings on laptops built for content creation. Today's best HP video editing laptop deal Save $300 HP Omen 16: was $1,399 now $1,099 at Walmart CPU: Intel Core Ultra 5 225H | GPU: Nvidia RTX 5050 | RAM: 16GB |

The processor is AI-enabled, which means you'll have a better experience when using tools like generative expand in the Adobe suite.

The graphics card here serves up a dedicated 8GB GDDR7 VRAM, which is the minimum I'd recommend for video editing tasks.

The display has a 2K resolution with color accuracy and coverage of 100% sRGB for online photos and videos. However, you'll want a laptop with as close to 100% DCI-P3 as you can get if you're looking to go beyond phone and laptop screens - you'll find a couple of options below.

It's not a powerhouse workstation by any stretch of the imagination - you'll have to pay at least double for that. But the HP Omen 16 will easily run creative software as well as games on lower settings, making it a good pick
at this discount price for work and play. More US laptop deals Save $124.99 Acer Nitro V 15.6: was $999.99 now $875 at Walmart CPU: Intel Core i5-13420H
