Sleek and Powerful: A Winning Combination
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using the HP Victus 15.6" Full HD 144Hz Gaming Laptop, and I must say, it left quite an impression. From its sleek design to its powerful performance, this laptop is a solid contender in the gaming laptop market. Here's my review based on my experience with the product. Let's start with the design. The HP Victus boasts a visually appealing aesthetic with its Performance Blue color, giving it a unique and stylish look. The laptop's build quality is excellent, offering a sturdy and durable feel. It's clear that HP has put a lot of thought into the design, making it a laptop you'll be proud to show off. The 15.6" Full HD display with a 144Hz refresh rate is an absolute delight for gaming. The visuals are crisp and vibrant, and the high refresh rate ensures smooth gameplay without any noticeable lag or stuttering. Whether you're immersing yourself in the vast landscapes of open-world games or engaging in fast-paced action, this laptop's display won't disappoint. One of the standout features of the HP Victus is its powerful hardware. Equipped with an Intel Core i5-13420H processor and 8GB of memory, it delivers snappy and responsive performance, allowing you to multitask effortlessly. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card is an absolute beast, capable of handling graphically demanding games with ease. It ensures a seamless gaming experience with stunning visuals and fluid frame rates. The inclusion of a 512GB SSD provides ample storage space for your games, applications, and multimedia files. The SSD not only ensures fast boot times and quick file transfers but also contributes to the overall responsiveness of the system. The backlit keyboard is a standout feature for me. It not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the laptop but also serves a functional purpose. The keys are well-spaced, providing a comfortable typing experience. The backlighting can be customized to suit your preference, allowing you to game or work in dimly lit environments without any hassle. In terms of connectivity, the HP Victus offers a decent selection of ports, including USB Type-C, USB Type-A, HDMI, and an SD card reader. These ports provide flexibility when it comes to connecting peripherals and external devices, making it a versatile machine for various needs. Battery life is where the HP Victus falls slightly short. While it's not terrible, heavy gaming sessions will drain the battery relatively quickly. It's advisable to keep the laptop plugged in for extended gaming sessions to ensure uninterrupted gameplay. In conclusion, the HP Victus 15.6" Full HD 144Hz Gaming Laptop impresses with its sleek design, sturdy build quality, and powerful hardware. The high-quality display, excellent graphics card, and responsive performance make it a great choice for gamers. The customizable backlit keyboard adds a touch of flair and convenience.

A Solid Performer for Gaming and More!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently had the opportunity to try out the HP Victus Gaming Laptop, equipped with an Intel Core i5 13th generation processor and an RTX 3050 graphics card. Here's my review: Performance (9/10): The combination of the i5 13th gen processor and the RTX 3050 GPU is truly impressive. This laptop handles modern games with ease, allowing me to maximize graphics settings without any slowdown. It's not limited to gaming – this machine also excels in tasks like video editing and 3D rendering. Design and Build (8/10): The laptop features a sleek, minimalist design that's both aesthetically pleasing and versatile. It strikes a balance between gaming aesthetics and professional use.

It also offers accurate colors, making it suitable for both work and entertainment. Portability (7/10): While not the most lightweight laptop, it remains reasonably manageable. Its battery life, while decent, may not last an entire day of intensive use. This laptop leans more towards being a desktop replacement. Connectivity (9/10): The laptop is well-equipped with a variety of ports, including USB-C, multiple USB-A, HDMI, and an SD card reader. This extensive connectivity enhances its versatility for connecting various peripherals. Price (8/10): Considering the level of performance it delivers, the price is quite reasonable.

If you're in the market for a dependable gaming laptop, the HP Victus should certainly be on your radar.

A Solid Performer at Black Friday Prices.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The value for the money is impressive! That being said, I picked this up during Black Friday, and got it at a very discounted price. Would I pay full price? Probably not honestly. I would pick up the newer varient for about the same price. The processor is very strong and quick, and the RTX 3050 is good enough for most of my light gaming duty tasks. I installed 32gb of RAM before it was fired up the first time, just for my piece of mind. It was a cheap upgrade. Installing said upgrade was about as difficult as I'd expect, removal of the back cover plate. The screen is crisp, and nice. 144hz. With the RTX 3050, you probably wont see 144 frames consistantly honestly, but the frames it does produce come across smooth without tearing even as rates bounce around. It produces quite a substantial amount of heat under full load (while plugged in). A cooling desk would be recommended. I dont believe in "its designed that way so its good". I was seeing thermal throttling, which is never good for anything. I love the finish of this product, although it is annoying difficult to keep clean. The battery life is atrocious, but thats obvious with any gaming tier laptop (read: with a GPU). The cpu/gpu package consumes so much power that there just isnt enough battery in the world to keep it charged long. If you dont game, and just browse the web and such, youll get a solid 3 - 4 hours out of the battery. All in all, its a pretty good laptop. It has the drawbacks of putting performance in a laptop, which is to be expected. Outside of that, it performs well, the battery lasts a reasonable amount of time if you dont game, and it multitasks like a champion.

Great gaming laptop for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for $550 when it was on sale during black Friday and it’s an absolute steal at that price. It plays any game I want at 1080p with high/ultra settings and get 30-60 fps easily. I also use this laptop for game development in Unity and it is amazing for that as well. I recommend buying another ram stick for $20 to upgrade it to 16GB of ram at least since 8GB is a bit low nowadays. The only cons I can think if are that the usb ports and aux port are quite stiff, and I don’t like that the power button is placed in the middle of the keys near the top of the keyboard. I prefer when the power button is isolated to the far edge of the laptop. I also wish it would have included a second ssd slot to add more storage, but with the USB-C port you can buy an external SSD and that should do the trick too. Overall, great laptop if you can get it for less than $600, best deal you’re going to find at the moment.

Best budget laptop
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently got my hands on the HP Victus laptop, and I've got to say, I'm pretty impressed. First off, the performance is top-notch. With its powerful processor and ample RAM, this laptop breezes through tasks, whether I'm multitasking, gaming, or editing videos. Not only does it pack a punch in terms of performance, but it also looks sleek and modern. The slim design and vibrant color options make it a standout among other laptops. Plus, the backlit keyboard adds a cool aesthetic touch while being practical for late-night typing sessions. The display is crisp and vibrant, perfect for binge-watching my favorite shows or immersing myself in gaming adventures. The fast refresh rate ensures smooth visuals, making the overall experience highly enjoyable. One thing that pleasantly surprised me is the battery life. I can easily get through a day of work or classes without worrying about constantly plugging in. It keeps up with my demanding usage, which is a huge plus for an on-the-go lifestyle. The only minor drawback I found is that the fan can get a bit loud when the laptop is under heavy load, but it's not a deal-breaker for me considering the overall performance and value this laptop offers. All in all, the HP Victus laptop is a solid choice for gamers like me who need a powerful and stylish device for work, entertainment, and gaming. It ticks all the right boxes and delivers a great user experience. Thumbs up from me! Hope you find this review helpful.

Love this laptop!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I am loving this laptop!! Can easily run games like overwatch, valorant, and genshin. When in gaming the laptop does get a lil warm, but not hot. The fans do make noise, but it literally sounds as if you had your fan on in your room. When gaming the fans also switch speed sometimes. So itll go from being quiet to loud suddenly. When im doing school work like using google docs, or just google, the laptop is quiet and makes no noise. Overall for the price I am quite happy. Only downside I guess would be the space. And upgrade the ram if you can. Battery life isnt the all time best, but gaming laptops arent known for thier battery life. It does charge fast though, and if im just using it for simple things like school work i do get a few hours. Definetely recommend this laptop.

The Intel Core i5 processor combined with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card ensures that all my gaming needs are met with ease.

I've had no issues running multiple applications simultaneously, and the SSD ensures that everything loads in a flash. It's a significant improvement over traditional hard drives and makes a noticeable difference in overall system speed. The laptop's cooling system does an excellent job of keeping temperatures in check, so I never have to worry about overheating. Portability is another strong suit of this laptop. It's relatively lightweight and slim, making it easy to carry around, whether I'm heading to a friend's place for a LAN party or taking it to work for some on-the-go productivity.
