Whats Included
  • Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop PC 15-fa0032dx
  • 200 W Smart AC power adapter

Q: Does this laptop have a lighted keyboard? I read somewhere that it did, but the one I bought, the keyboard does not light up, is this a defect?

A: Yeah, You have to press f4+fn and it will come one but apparently it doesn't have a rgb keyboard so you only get a white light and can't customize it. I found that out today and it's a drag.

Q: Hi, does this laptop has an extra slot for another ssd memory? , I want to install an additional 1 gb.

A: Hi Mary, thank you for the question. The Victus by HP 15-fa0032dx laptop has two memory (RAM) slots, each occupied by 8GB of RAM. You could switch out the RAM if you'd like to increase it. There is no slot to add an additional SSD, however, you could switch out the included 512GB SSD for one of larger capacity. We recommend that these upgrades be performed by experienced DIYers or service technicians.

Q: How many external displays can you connect to this laptop?

A: Hello, Andrew. Thanks for your question. This Victus Gaming Laptop 15-fa0032dx has 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C 5 Gbps signaling rate (DisplayPort 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge) port and 1 HDMI 2.1 port. That means you connect two monitors to this laptop. With the USB C port, you can use an adapter like USB C to HDMI. You also have the option to use a USB C docking station that allows you to simplify your monitor connections. You want to be sure the docking station has the video ports, i.e. HDMI, that are on the monitors. You also have 1 HDMI port for a monitor on this laptop.

Q: What brand ram is used so I can buy another matching ram stick

A: Mine had 16 gigs of Kingston ram, but I replaced it with 2x16 gigs of Crucial ‎CT2K16G4SFRA32A ram sticks. 3200mhz, DDR4. Works like a charm.

Q: What are the screen brightness nits?

A: This Victus Gaming Laptop has a 15.6-inch diagonal, FHD (1920 x 1080), 144 Hz, 9 ms response time, IPS, micro-edge, anti-glare, 250 nits, 45% NTSC.

Q: What is the TGP(Total Graphics Power) of the RTX 3050Ti in this device? Is the RAM Configured (2 x 8)GB or (1 x 16)GB ? -> Is the Screen Wobble Issue sorted in this model? -> Is i7 12650H better than Ryzen 7 5800H ?

A: Thank you for the question. The TGP of the Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti is up to 80 watts. The RAM configuration is 2 x 8. We are not aware of a screen wobble issue, however, store models are subject to a lot of use by customers, sometimes resulting in damage to the unit. Aside from the Intel Core i7 12650H being a newer processor, it can offload background tasks to the efficiency cores (E cores) while not affecting the foreground (using performance, or P cores). The Intel Thread Director routes the tasks to the cores automatically.

Q: Does the ram memory come in two 8gb modules or one single 16gb?

A: Hello and thank you for your question. This HP Victus 15.6" gaming laptop has 2x8gb RAM modules.
