    Good starter gaming laptop. Got what the money we paid for. Anything negative is about laptops in general. This laptop has good image, good speed, and can game on the go.

    A really great budget friendly gaming laptop, doesn’t have much cons but the battery life is not the long specially when playing games, and the fan noise its not really noisy at all. Over all this pc runs great and smoothly.

    This is an excellent laptop. It handles gaming well, and stays cool during long sessions. The battery life is good, and can be away from an outlet for a while.

    This is probably the worst PC I have ever owned. It has fairly decent performance for casual gaming. However, it has had battery and network connection issues since day one. I wish I had returned it in the two weeks after I bought it, because it has only gotten worse. It can only hold a charge for about 30 minutes during a gaming session. I know this is pretty common for gaming laptops and you can expect to be plugged in most of the time. But the thing that gets me is I can have all apps closed out, nothing running in the background, fully charged and asleep and the battery will be totally drained overnight while not in use. I wake it up the following morning and it’s somehow at 5%. Why? I have owned a cheap Lenovo laptop used it mainly for gaming even though it was not a gaming laptop and did not have these issues with the battery. On to the network connectivity. It will at random and for no apparent reason just refuse to stay connected to the Wi-Fi for more than two minutes at a time, connecting and disconnecting every few minutes. This will go on for a few hours no matter what I do to try to fix the connection. Then just as randomly it will reconnect and be fine for days. It is not my Wi-Fi since every other device in the house is connected without issue. I have to conclude that it’s this computer. And the fact that it has done this from the beginning leads me to believe there’s something wrong. I am not very tech savvy, although I am capable of troubleshooting minor issues with help from google. I just don’t know what the problem is here and I do not want to spend more money to get this fixed when I have only had it for a few months. Cannot return it but am still paying for it. Also the fan is incredibly loud and you better not have this on your actual lap while playing a game because it gets so incredibly hot, it will burn your legs. It is also very slow. I know this model is a 2023 but I bought it supposedly brand new. For comparison, I previously owned a Dell xps desktop which I used for gaming for 3 years, it was not the newest model when purchased, and I never once had an issue with diminishing speed. For example, it will take like 5 minutes to load up my game after hitting start, the dell would be practically instant. And….same internet connection soooo….. Overall very disappointed considering it had pretty positive reviews. It underperforms for the price imho. A $200 Lenovo not made for gaming did better than this. /sigh

    I would recommend this item if you just want to play small, cozy games. It also always needs to be on the charger, or it will die. But the graphics were good, and it runs smoothly. I mostly played Roblox, Sims 4, and Minecraft on it.

    Pretty solid gaming laptop to play some newer games but it has poor battery life, I recommend just keeping it plugged in while playing or use eco mode if you decide to use it for school or work.

    I purchased this laptop so that I could play one of my favorite pc games. So far the performance is amazing and I'm glad that I purchased it. I would definitely recommend the HP-Victus. I'm not sure if it has to be plugged up the entire time of use, but the battery life isn't great without being on constant charge. I do unplug it a few times per day to allow the computer a chance to not overcharge.

    It’s my first Windows based laptop since windows 7 release , I’m a bit surprised how it performs in a good way. Battery capacity maybe 1 hour of gaming in performance mode. Overall great looking laptop with nice full keyboard, runs good and cool .

    The display is sharp and vibrant, with a high refresh rate that makes gameplay feel incredibly smooth. Colors look great, and the screen brightness is more than enough for both indoor and well-lit environments. The keyboard is comfortable with good key travel, making long gaming sessions enjoyable, and the backlighting adds a nice touch.

    Took a shot on this for my daughter's 16 birthday. She's wanted a gaming laptop, but I didn't want to go overboard, and spend an arm and a leg. She got it set up in minutes and loves it. She plays Steam, Roblox, and Minecraft and absolutely loves this laptop. Would 100% recommend.

    I recently purchased the HP Victus gaming laptop from Best Buy, and overall it’s been a solid choice for both gaming and everyday computing. The Victus delivers good performance for the price, handling popular titles and multitasking with ease thanks to its capable CPU/GPU combo and ample RAM.

    Bought this for my son so he could game while we travel as a family. While not the most powerful computer on the planet, it more than got the job done. Easy to setup and quite sturdy, this was such an excellent value.

    First Gaming Laptop & I'm Very Satisfied

    I really enjoy this laptop. Probably one of the best ones I've ever had. The only complaint I have about it is the 8GB ram, HOWEVER there is the option to get the the other version with more RAM so that wasn't even a big deal. This laptop does come with an additional RAM slot to be able to add more if needed so that's definitely a plus for me. I love the way the keyboard feels and the way that my fingers easily flow across it. I got this laptop in the beginning to just play the Sims 4 in a better way (had a Dell previously and it had did all it could) and this laptop handles it EASILY. Moved on to InZOI and it also handles it pretty well, but definitely came in clutch with that extra RAM storage. All in all, not a bad laptop IMO and would be one that I recommend.
