    My thoughts after using it for about 3 months

    I bought this laptop from the summer until now, so here is what I see and feel after using it for about 3 months. First of all, the design is quite simple, modern, not too "bulky" like many other gaming laptops, and in terms of quality, although it is a plastic shell, it is solidly finished, not flimsy. However, the surface is quite easy to get fingerprints. I'm not too sure about the screen, I'm just a normal person who buys it for use, so I don't know about this issue, but I see good colors, the brightness is just enough for use in the room. Talking about performance, I find it very stable for gaming and working, I'm a light gamer and do things that are not too high, so my fan is not too noisy, when playing games (not too heavy games) the laptop fan is not too noisy. Talking about just working, not playing games, I feel that it has no fan noise at all, it is not noisy. When I bought the laptop, I was quite hesitant to buy it because I was afraid that the fan noise would be as loud as other Gaming laptops, but after I bought it, I was very satisfied with my Victus 15 Laptop. The keyboard is good to type on, the key travel is moderate, and there is a simple white backlight. The battery life is not impressive - not too long for mixed use. One thing I am not happy and satisfied with is that my laptop's WIFI often drops for a few seconds and then I have to reconnect. I don't know if this is due to my laptop or Windows. I think I will need to ask Best Buy about this. Right now everything is fine, only the WIFI is abnormal. Thank you for taking your time to read this little Review of mine.

    urprisingly Affordable Powerhouse

    The HP Victus 15.6″ gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS, 16 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 for just $639.99—a fantastic deal considering its full-HD 144 Hz display and snappy performance. Best Buy So far, I’ve been using it mostly for gaming—and it delivers. I was able to run the Battlefield 6 Beta, PUBG, and Arma Reforger easily. Frame rates were solid, and visuals looked great thanks to the high-refresh panel. As expected from a gaming machine, the fans can get loud under load, but that’s completely normal. When I’m not gaming, though, it’s eerily quiet, which is a nice contrast that balances performance with everyday usability. Battery life and thermals have been manageable so far. The laptop stays relatively cool during normal use, though you’ll definitely want to game near a power outlet. Why I Gave It a High Rating: Excellent value: Packed with mid-high-end specs at a surprisingly low price. Strong gaming chops: Handles modern titles smoothly, including beta releases. Quiet during light tasks: No fan distraction when not gaming. Solid build & display: The 144 Hz Full-HD panel really elevates the gaming experience. A Couple of Notes: Fan noise under heavy gaming: Consider using headphones or setting fan curves if the noise gets distracting. Memory/Storage Expansion? If you plan to handle large game libraries or heavy multitasking, you might want to upgrade RAM or add extra storage down the line.

    I give it 5 Stars because I got it on sale for $699. I wanted a budget gaming laptop because my 12yr old laptop finally died...for $699 this is a decent deal. RTX 4050, 16GB DDR5 5600Mhz RAM. Wish it had a 1 TB NVMe, but its fine for the price. Gaming is actually pretty good on it. Was getting about 100 fps in Doom: The Dark Ages, High settings DLSS on quality. About 90 fps on Cyberpunk with same settings...probably gonna upgrade the NMVe and the RAM to 32 GB eventually. Better than i expected for the price.

    As someone who sells electronics back in Bulgaria I can tell you, this laptop is worth the price especially if it's on sale. I got mine for around 650-700$ or something along that. The display, keyboard and battery life are great. It performs good in games and in drawing/animating software. The GPU and CPU render videos and drawings fast. A few things to consider tho, Ryzen CPU paired with Nvidia GPU is not the best but it works (personal preference is to pair Ryzen CPU with Radeon GPU and Intel CPU with Nvidia GPU). If you are going to use it mainly for gaming go ahead but buy a cooling pad/system for it (it doesn't overheat fast but it can get pretty warm if you keep it on your legs) and when you play for more than 30min-1h on a DEMANDING game, it's better to plug it in, otherwise the battery will be depleted. Overall it's a nice and solid pick for such a price.

    During gaming, I plug it in, because games tend to drain the battery much faster, but for working I was able to use it for 5-6 hours while it was downloading etc. It has a clean keyboard, very nice screen, and it boots up rally fast. I would reccommend it, although I bought it when it was on sale for 650$ it was a really good deal

    Great product buit poor connectivity, at times. Even after downloading the update extentsion, it still have issues every once in awhile; though this is mostly limited to the first 20-30 min I turn it on. It, cyclically, picks up and drops the wifi; even though i pay for the highest/fastest speeds available. Whereas imy xbox1 has never has any issues. That being said I am happy with the computing power as well as the performance of the nvidia 4050, which actually surprised me. Overall would reccomend but unless you use it in the same room as the modem/router, Id reccomend put a wifi extension; or else you might end up sitting on top a cat tree next to the window all night and ve limited to using it on top of your fridgerator until you get one.

    i bought this laptop excellent open box and it had a few marks but nothing that couldnt go away without lens cleaner. Make sure you dont use the laptop on best efficiency mode as it can crash sometimes and have to reboot. the switching between the gpu and the igpu is a bit inconsistent so make sure to know what gpu is being used for an application, like if you play minecraft it will default to the igpu and not the rtx 4050. other than that it's a great laptop.

    I've been using the laptop for around 3 months, and it runs really good. I've played a variety of games from Elden Ring, Rainbow x, Valorant, and Hell Divers 2. It runs really well tho, for big games like Elden Ring you might need to have it plugged, because the battery will get low in like and hour and a half or 2.

    The HP Victus 15.6" gaming laptop is a well-balanced device that provides solid performance, a good display, and a sleek design. With the powerful AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS processor, 16GB of RAM, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, it handles most modern games and creative tasks with ease. While the battery life and storage might be limiting for some, the overall value for money is hard to beat at this price point.

    I bought this laptop as I am a business owner and an occasional gamer. Went from a desktop to this laptop, and it runs games, faster, and better than my desktop did. I would highly recommend to someone who is a moderate gamer, but also needs a laptop for business purposes. I would assume it would do well with any digital design as well. Would highly recommend for the price!!

    For the price, the performance is excellent! I got the Ryzen 7, 4050 RTX spec and I’ve been having a great time playing valorant/genshin/dota2 at high settings! Will definitely recommend if you find the product for ~700. Happy gaming!

    Really powerful laptop; it really helps with design, modeling, and game developing apps. It is a blessing. Sometimes the battery drains a little fast, but it is very practical, and if you know how to personalize its energy options, it is a piece of art.
