HP Omen 16t-b100 | 16.1-inch | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 | Intel Core i7 12700H | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | 144Hz | 1080p | $1,859.99$1,599.99 at HP (Save $260)(opens in new tab)There is a range of configurations available under that $260 saving, but the RTX 3070 version stands out most, particularly as it also ships with a speedy Alder Lake Core i7 chip.
