A:AnswerThank you for your question about VR readiness in this HP Victus laptop! Even though this has the processor and the memory for VR, the 4050 graphics card is not VR-ready. Best Buy sells HP gaming laptops that have this memory and processor along with a 4060 card, which is the minimum chipset to be VR-ready.

A:AnswerHello Martin, and thank you for your question! The HP Victus 15.6" Gaming Laptop model 15-fa1163dx has 1 USB Type-C Port with DisplayPort 1.4 and HP Sleep and Charge technology, allowing you to connect this laptop to a Docking Station such as your HP Thunderbolt hub station.
A:AnswerSince there is no complete agreement on the RAM segment to this question, I checked five different websites, in addition to the HP website itself. HP is not definitive, because it releases many different variations on the basic model (15-fa1000), and you need the specific serial number to get past this, so I also checked the Communities (user questions and answers).
Counting HP Communities, 3 out of 5 sources say 64GB is the maximum RAM, while the other two state 32GB is the maximum.
For gaming, I would think 32GB would cover any possibility (at least at the present), but at worst, if you couldn't upgrade to 64GB, you could just return any purchase. My thinking, however, is that HP itself will only guarantee the conservative 16GB, but you can probably go to the full 64.
