Why We Love This Deal
Everything from Spotify Wrapped to the YouTube Music recap is shoving one important fact into our collective faces—2025 is nearly over, and it’s time to start thinking about our goals for the new year ahead. For some, it’s as simple as lacing up their running shoes and getting in shape. For others, it’s all about being productive, and right now, Walmart is selling one of the best on-the-go productivity devices you’ll ever use for under $300.
The HP 15 FHD Touch Screen Laptop is now $269, down an incredible $190 from the usual $459 price point, and it even ships free. While Walmart’s most affordable tablets run from about $80 to $140, this dual-threat gives you a much more robust system with a keyboard included for just a hair over $100 more. And, it’s nearly a quarter of the price of a Microsoft Surface Pro, and all the necessary extras are included.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Screen: 15.6-inch anti-glare FHD IPS touch screen
- Processor: Intel Core i3-N305
- Memory: 8GB RAM

The HP 15 FHD Touch Screen Laptop is an 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD storage machine. These pared-down stats are excellent for basic browsing, word processing, your standard YouTube fare, and help give the laptop its up to 9.75-hour battery life. Its screen is 15.6 inches corner-to-corner and has a touch screen surface for quick navigation, no mouse required. Finally, note the inclusion of a numpad if you’re the type to deal with a lot of data; not many laptops have them in this price range because low-cost laptops tend to run smaller.
Perhaps the best way to describe this laptop is to look at it from the perspective of what it is not. This isn’t the expensive laptop you have to keep an eye on at all times. It doesn’t have an Nvidia card in it that will make it enticing for gaming (and drain battery life fast). But it’s also not a Chromebook with flash memory and a dependence on the internet for cloud storage. You can be out in the middle of the woods pecking away at your novel on this HP laptop and not miss a beat.

What Users Are Saying
One shopper reported that “it’s all going well” after one month of using the laptop, adding that the machine “does what I require.”
Another user, in a desperate search for a Windows 11-compatible computer (this HP uses Windows 11 as its native operating system), said the laptop is “just what I needed” and called it an “excellent model.”
And that’s about all there is to know: For under $300, the HP 15 FHD Touch Screen Laptop does all the essentials, and it does them well. It’s unclear what will happen to the pricing come the end of the Cyber Monday extension on Dec. 7, so pick this laptop up ASAP if you want one.
