Q: QuestionCould i add more ssd storage?

Asked 4 months ago by Juan.

• A:Answer From what I gather, there is only 1 M.2 slot for SSDs, but you can clone the existing drive to a larger drive and use that to boot into. If I had to guess, you can put any size M.2 NVME drive (I think it's a 4x4 PCIE M.2 slot), but anything over 2TB is still expensive.

Q: QuestionI want to buy this PC; I think it's a good price. What makes me a little hesitant is the model and processor. I can't find any information about this model, so I'm a little worried.

Asked 4 months ago by Dileivi24.

• A:Answer TL;DR The cpu is good and the laptop is on hp's website. This laptop is a specific configuration of the 2025 HP Victus model lineup. The cpu is from Q2 2025, so it is very new, and if you follow the laptop buying guide from Linus Tech Tips (recommended), you'll find that based on the naming scheme it has a zen 4 architecture (which is good). The cpu is comparable to the AMD Ryzen 5 AI 340, a more known processor, and it will be sufficient for most casual and gaming tasks, unless they are very cpu intensive, which might require a processor with more cores. It can boost up to 4.7 GHz, which is very respectable. As for the cost, both this Cpu and gpu combo at $650 is incredibly cheap compared to other options. Also, the ability to upgrade your ram and ssd makes this a good option for old games or new games at medium graphics or high graphics at lower fps (this machine can handle beamng.drive on medium to high graphics at 30+ fps which is more than enough for me). I'd have to do more testing to really answer this but for now I'd definitely recommend it.

Q: QuestionIs this DDR4 ram or DDR5? Is the laptop have good fps on most games and does it get hot? How hot does it get?

Asked 4 months ago by Carl.

• A:Answer DDR5-5600 see “specifications” I can’t answer about gaming as I don’t, but it’s not a bargain basement integrated GPU. this includes an NVIDEA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU so look up specs but it’s certainly well, far, far above a CPU with integrated graphics.

Q: QuestionIs this laptop able to be charged via USB-C? I have only found conflicting answers online, or that it does charge, but not as fast as the barrel plug.

Asked 4 months ago by BakerKilmartin.

• A:Answer No. This uses a Barrel Connector charger only. The USB-C port is for data and runs at USB 3.0 speed. It does allow for charging a device such as a smartphone through Power Delivery from the laptop.

Q: QuestionDoes this machine have integrated graphics in addition to the 4050? My other Victus does, and I assumed most so, but I heard weird things about Ryzen 7.

Asked 3 weeks ago by Mlithog.

• A:Answer If you heard weird things about AMD Ryzen, you must have been talking to weird people. All Ryzen laptop APUs come with a built-in (integrated) GPU called an iGPU. Some Ryzen-based laptops (including this one) also include a discrete GPU (dGPU) such as the Nvidia RTX 4050, for example. So this laptop has both.

Q: QuestionIs thisa good computer for film editing or is there something cheaper

Asked 3 months ago by Luke.

• A:Answer This is a great computer for editing. It has a dedicated graphics card and really good processor, just eventually upgrade the ram to 32 or 64 for even better performance. But can handle editing really well with what it has. Not too many options cheaper around with these necessary specs for editing purposes (at the moment)

Q: QuestionWhat's the Max GPU Wattage of the RTX 4050 in this specific Laptop???

Asked 4 months ago by John.

• A:Answer Max TDP in this machine for the GPU is 65W. The heatsink heatpipes and dual blower fans can't handle cooling for anything more than that, so overclock at your own risk.
