That's because the HP Omen Transcend 14 is $1,299 @ Best Buy for a limited time, discounted from the usual $1,699 asking price. That's a substantial savings of $400 off this svelte and elegant gaming laptop, which has the added strength of looking like a low-key ultraportable when closed so you won't raise eyebrows at the coffee shop.

Of course, the big question with this particular deal is - will it get any cheaper over the Black Friday deals event in November? There's always a possibility, but I think there's also the potential for this particular listing to sell out well ahead of November.
