Customer Ratings & Reviews

could handle simple things pretty well, such as google or microsoft if you need a laptop for work. has backlights on keyboard but only white no rgb which is pretty annoying. not a powerful laptop personally i wouldnt classify it as a gaming laptop at all as even some small games cant handle well even on low settings. hinges arent great, gets dirty quickly, fans break easily. laptop guzzles battery if not left on charger, also made sort of cheaply. fans are crazy loud as well but laptop still gets really hot. looks nice and sleep, but kind of bulky and heavy. overall pretty good laptop just wouldn't recommend it if you want a gaming laptop.

I got this laptop for my son, and he absolutely loves it. Here’s a quick breakdown of what works well, what could be better, and a few recommendations from our experience: PROS * Excellent build quality: Even though this laptop sits around the $500 range, it feels solid, well-built, and more premium than expected. * Tasteful design: It has a gaming-laptop look without being overly flashy. * Strong performance for the price: We’ve been running a number of AAA titles at 1080p, and it consistently delivers around 60 FPS in games like Halo Infinite, Minecraft, and Resident Evil 4 Remake. Recommendation: Upgrade the RAM. Adding a 16GB stick (for a total of 24GB) makes a huge difference. With just the stock 8GB, the laptop felt sluggish at times, which held back both the CPU and GPU. After the upgrade, Windows and games ran significantly smoother. 144Hz display: Gameplay looks and feels very smooth thanks to the high refresh rate. CONS: * Limited stock RAM: 8GB is simply not enough for modern gaming. Fortunately, upgrading is easy and affordable (around $40). There are plenty of YouTube tutorials that walk you through it. Here’s the RAM we used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KN7463D?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 On the heavier side: This isn’t an ultra-portable laptop. It’s not unbearably heavy, but it’s not the kind of machine you’ll want to carry everywhere. Final Thoughts If you’re looking to play modern AAA games on a budget of around $500-$600, I don’t think you’ll find a better option than this. Just be sure to budget for the RAM upgrade—it’s well worth it.

hi hi! not a bot :) anyway, this is my first gaming laptop/pc. i’ve grown up on playstation and xbox. ive played many games on steam with this laptop. some games include overcooked!2 (with a friend from Germany and im in North America! lag wasn’t bad and they were host!), overwatch, dead by daylight, stardew valley, minecraft, plateup!, and more that i sadly can’t think of right now. overwatch and dead by daylight run good to say the least, i just close everything that isn’t my game application and the necessities (background software), but if you stream, then you should look into the build more! my main use for it recently has been for retro gaming and emulators!!! it is an awesome laptop to use for playing retrogames. one thing i could say though, it cannot run fortnite. i’m not sure if i tweaked the settings right or not, but it stutters a lot. other than dead by daylight and overwatch, i don’t play any games like that anymore, as i’ve just been into the emulating recently. i would figure out if its the settings or the build itself! i’m not rlly sure because i just wanted something that would run dead by daylight and overwatch and i could say this is a 9/10 purchase because overall everything else, the battery drains haha.

I love it, it is bigger than i thought it was going to be (it’s about the size of a torso) so when traveling you will have to find a good enough bag. Also with it being a bit heavier please carefully choose your laptop holders and be careful with where you place it. Downloads are a bit slow btw

I love it! For what your paying for its amazing! a steal honestly its great for work, its fast, great for playing the sims, dbd, pre ram upgrade, but now that I've upgraded to 16gb, i got the kit from Crucial but it can go up to 32gb. Everything runs likes water. It doesn't get hot after a 10 hr gaming sesh. I do have a cooling pad tho ngl. The only caveat to this is that its gonna live on the charger if your using it for gaming fr, but itll last about 3-4 hours if your just doing work and school stuff. It was easy to set up, it was delivered fast and with care. just dont get m*afee as protection!!! windows defender is just fine. but if u want that extra fluff id say get Bitdefender.

I am very happy with this laptop. It runs very smoothly and I can play games such as league of legends or minecraft with no issue. The only thing I would like to mention is that I did add more ram to the device as 8gb would be considerably slow and it was a little difficult to remove the back of the laptop to insert the ram.

The HP Victus is a great PC when paired with the right amount of RAM. I upgraded mine with a 32 GB DDR4 stick before even booting it up, and it handled it with no issues. Performance has been excellent. I usually have multiple browser tabs open along with an IDE, and I haven’t noticed any lag or delays. The build quality feels solid and doesn’t come across as a typical mid-range gaming laptop. It’s sturdy, the keyboard feels great, and I especially like the large number pad. I tested Forza Horizon 5 on max settings, and it ran flawlessly. It comes with 512 GB of storage, which is decent, but you can upgrade it if needed. The internal components are easy to access and swap out, though you should be careful when removing the back cover. I accidentally chipped mine while opening it. The backlit keyboard is a nice touch, though it doesn’t include RGB lighting. The screen size is good. I came from an 18-inch display, so I notice the difference, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Fan noise is also very acceptable. It’s noticeable under load, like when gaming, but it’s not overly loud or distracting. Battery life is impressive for a gaming laptop. I can get around 4 hours while gaming and even longer with lighter tasks. Overall, I recommend buying this laptop on sale rather than at full price, mainly because it only comes with 8 GB of RAM by default. With an upgrade, it becomes a much more capable machine. The 8-core CPU is solid and can handle running 3–4 virtual machines without any noticeable slowdown.

Really is just a good starting gaming laptop to use it has just the right amount of speed and space for the games I want to play and enjoy as well as there is great sound quality as well.

Very good build quality lot of storage and decent GPU and decent GPU however the RAM is bare minimum and hard to run most games with

Been using this for a few months and has been great so far! I recommend upgrading the ram and storage but other than that it looks clean and has been working very well!

I am extremely happy with this purchase. The laptop is fast, handles multitasking without any lag, and the graphics are crisp for gaming. It has a sleek design that doesn't look too "flashy," making it perfect for both work and play. The cooling system works great, and the setup was very easy. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a powerful and reliable laptop!

This is my very first laptop I've never purchased one before. I really enjoy this laptop I bought it for gaming purposes but I also use it for my personal use, I'm about to see if it's good for my schooling as well. I've had it for a couple months now it's excellent, I take good care of my stuff so you'll have to really persuade me to buy another brand Laptop if this one ever goes out on me.

This is great for older games that don’t require a lot of memory, since it only comes with 8gbs. You will struggle to play modern games on low settings. It overheats when downloading from steam for me. I got it open box for around $400 so it’s a steal, at the regular price, I would stay away and get something stronger.

Like everything! Recommend for everyone, love to use this product

I like to game and play games like minecraft and fortnite it works great for minecraft but not for fortnite for some reason but still great purchase

This is a great PC and a huge upgrade to my previous laptop. I searched for over a month, and this was by far the best deal out there, after adding another 8GB of RAM I have been able to play Battlefield6 with no issues.

Only complaint is the short battery life. Otherwise it works better than expected.

the victus works very well great value for performance.

This is great computer for someone looking to get into pc gaming for cheap. It runs the games I play perfectly fine. To get the most out of this laptop I would recommend upgrading the ram and getting a laptop cooler.

The Vectus 3050 with Intel Core i5 is fast, reliable, and perfect for everyday use. Multitasking is smooth, boot times are quick, and the battery lasts through the day. Build quality feels solid, and performance is consistent. Great value for students, professionals, and casual users alike.
