Score! RTX 5060-equipped HP Omen 16 is at its lowest ever price — $300 off for a limited time
Nvidia RTX 50-series gaming laptops are well and truly here, and PC gaming has never looked finer. But as with every new arrival, these machines don't come cheap — or so I thought until I stumbled upon this RTX 5060-powered laptop now on sale.
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.

15 AI stocks to watch outside of the Magnificent 7
Some investors may be wondering if they missed out on Nvidia's (NVDA) artificial intelligence (AI) run. Futurum CEO Daniel Newman joins Morning Brief to highlight 15 alternative AI plays, including Broadcom (AVGO), Palantir (PLTR), and Oracle (ORCL), that could benefit from the next wave of custom chip demand. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Morning Brief here. According to the Bank of America Global Fund Manager survey, Long Mag 7 is one of the most crowded trades on Wall Street, but my next guest has some alternative ways to play artificial intelligence. I want to bring in Dan Newman, who is the Futurum CEO. Great to have you here back in studio with us. Brad, good to see you. So let's talk about this because a lot of people have already piled into Mag 7, but. You believe that there are other places that are non-MG 7 that they could find some exposure to generative AI and this broader kind of thesis that's driven the market for the past two years. I mean there's been nothing that is, you know, deemed more attention than AI. You've seen just the news in the last couple of days, whether it's Microsoft wanting to, or sorry, Meta offering hundreds of millions of dollars to potential researchers to join. Their AI talent team or you know you saw Marvel came out yesterday with the custom AI silicon road map and their stock is popping. We could probably talk a little bit about that, um, but you're seeing it really across the board and then of course so many people have kind of felt like, well did I miss Nvidia and so the the the question I get asked most by, you know, by clients, by the, by retail investors and why we basically launched the Future on AI 15 which. Is the extended list beyond is what else is out there besides maybe Nvidia, Microsoft, and Meta. What are the plays, you know, and so you can hear about kind of what are the difference difference makers. So for instance, uh, companies like Evago, you know, Broadcom, um, you know, there's a $500 billion t we believe in the next 4 years for custom AI silicon, um. Nvidia's gonna get a lot of that, you know, Nvidia gets 92% of that market right now, we believe, but they're not going to keep 92% in our opinion. They're probably gonna fall to maybe 80%, 70%. So it still means Nvidia, by the way, can triple to $300 billion. There's gonna be $100 billion that's gonna go into custom. And so we have Avago, for instance, as our number two name to play because that $100 billion dollar opportunity that sits with the Google custom chips they're doing, it sits with custom chips that companies like OpenAI are planning to do. So that's one of the plays of course you've seen uh Brad TSMC. TSMC, you know, people think about it as a foundry and of course it's a very big name and there's a lot of dollars invested in it right now, but people don't always make that connection that whether it's invi making chips, metama chips, Microsoft and Amazon doing their custom chips, all of them are dependent right now on TSMC and as much as I think the US needs a strong intel, we aren't there yet. So right now TSMC. All the pricing power so it sits at the very top of our list. And then there's some eclectic names. I'll pause here, but basically there's eclectic names like Oracle that we put on there. You saw what a pop they've gotten, but they've absolutely nailed this AI transformation and they are in a perfect position. And just yesterday, XAI and Oracle made a big announcement together that they're going to be using Oracle's infrastructure to train XAI models.

Pure-Play Quantum in Focus: IONQ, QBTS Shine, RGTI a Wait-and-See
Quantum computing has long promised a leap in processing power beyond classical limits. The spotlight on this niche sector has intensified recently, with NVIDIA's NVDA CEO Jensen Huang declaring that quantum computing is reaching an 'inflection point,' a sharp shift from his earlier stance that practical use was decades away. Meanwhile, International Business Machines IBM unveiled an ambitious roadmap targeting a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer (codenamed Starling) by 2029. Against this backdrop, investors are increasingly exploring pure-play opportunities in the sector. Three publicly listed quantum firms, IonQ IONQ, D-Wave Quantum QBTS and Rigetti Computing RGTI, have emerged with their distinct strategies and progress. Their last-reported first-quarter 2025 earnings reveal how each is advancing on technology, revenues and financial stability. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Let's delve deeper. One of IonQ's recent milestones is the $22 million sale of 50% compute capacity from its Forte Enterprise system to EPB Chattanooga, marking the industry's first commercial deployment that combines a quantum network and quantum computer. IonQ announced a series of strategic acquisitions to strengthen its technological edge — the $1.1 billion acquisition of Oxford Ionics (noted outside the earnings call) and the planned purchases of Lightsynq and Capella, which are expected to enhance capabilities in photonic interconnects, quantum repeaters and space-based quantum communication. The company also signed MOUs with Toyota Tsusho, Japan's AIST (G-QuAT division), and satellite tech firm Intellian to explore quantum key distribution in space. IonQ was also selected to participate in DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, further validating its leadership in advancing measurable quantum performance. This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock is currently trading 27.6% below its 52-week high of $54.74, which offers a potential upside for new buyers. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for IonQ's 2025 earnings implies a 69.9% improvement over 2024. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research D-Wave Quantum, known for its annealing-based quantum systems, delivered strong first-quarter 2025 financial performance and achieved technical milestones. The company's first-quarter revenues were up 509% year over year, driven largely by a system sale to the Julich Supercomputing Center. Adjusted gross margin surged to 93.6%, while net loss narrowed to $5.4 million, the company's lowest since going public. On the technology front, D-Wave claimed quantum supremacy by simulating a magnetic material problem that would take even the world's most powerful classical supercomputer millions of years to solve. Its new Advantage2 system, featuring over 4,400 qubits, a 40% increase in energy scale, and enhanced 20-way qubit connectivity, showcased substantial performance gains. QBTS, a Zacks Rank #2 stock, is currently trading 20.5% below its 52-week high of $19.76. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for D-Wave's 2025 earnings implies a 72% improvement year over year. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Rigetti Computing is advancing with its gate-based superconducting quantum architecture, prioritizing scalability and error correction. Key wins include selection for DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative and a $5.48 million AFOSR-led project to advance its ABAA chip fabrication technology. In the United Kingdom, Rigetti secured three Quantum Mission Pilot Awards focused on real-time quantum error correction with partners like Riverlane and NQCC. A research breakthrough, published in Nature Physics, demonstrated optical control of superconducting qubits, potentially easing cryogenic scaling constraints. However, compared to the other two startups, investors are a bit apprehensive about the stock's near-term growth momentum. This is because its first-quarter 2025 revenues declined to $1.5 million from $3.1 million in the year-ago period. Gross margin was 30%, down from 49% in the year-ago period. Despite near-term challenges, RGTI's sustained R&D momentum and strategic backing signal potential for massive growth as the industry matures. This stock is currently trading 47% below its 52-week high of $21.42. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Rigetti's 2025 earnings implies an 86.1% improvement year over year. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Given the current momentum and first-quarter performance, IonQ and D-Wave Quantum stand out as the stronger investment options among the three. Both companies have achieved significant technical and financial milestones, including major system sales, strategic partnerships and strong revenue growth. While IonQ is gaining strength through acquisitions, D-Wave is demonstrating quantum supremacy. In contrast, Rigetti, with a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), is facing revenue declines and margin compression, making it a less favorable choice for near-term investors despite its long-term potential.

Nvidia (NVDA) Could Hit $5 Trillion as Analysts Lift Price Targets
Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) is drawing fresh bullish forecasts after a rapid five-year rally, with analysts now predicting the chipmaker could grow into a $5 trillion company. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. Shares have climbed more than 3,000% over the past five years, and are currently trading near all-time highs. Rosenblatt Securities analyst Hans Mosesmann maintained a $200 price target this week, while UBS and Goldman Sachs pointed to Nvidia's dominant position in AI hardware as reason for long-term upside. Nvidia controls more than 80% of the AI accelerator market and reported a 427% year-over-year jump in data center revenue in its latest quarter. That segment is critical to generative AI and cloud infrastructure buildouts, bolstering Nvidia's top line and free cash flow which now exceeds Amazon's. The company's proprietary CUDA software, tight integration with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., and leading-edge GPUs like the H100 and upcoming Blackwell series reinforce its pricing power and market moat. Nvidia also reported more than $14 billion in quarterly profits, helping justify its $2.9 trillion market cap as of June 18. A doubling in valuation would place it in direct competition with Apple (AAPL, Financials) and Microsoft (MSFT, Financials) as the world's most valuable public firm. Nvidia trades at over 40x forward earnings, raising valuation concerns. Analysts are also monitoring geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China, which could impact Nvidia's chip exports and manufacturing pipeline. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD, Financials) and Intel (INTC, Financials) continue to invest in AI chips, although they currently trail Nvidia on execution. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
