Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

It's perfect for all video games and also for school work. Its battery lasts a long time and is fast. Ideal for young people in college.

This laptop has good graphics and is easy to use. I use it for gaming, of course, and love how smooth it runs. For its price, it is a great laptop with no issues so far.

This is one of the best budget laptops ever its a power house that can run every game on high-epic graphics and cheap you missing out if you dont buy this

It works perfectly with the latest triple A games at 144+ fps. Great battery life for long gaming sessions and the fans are fairly quiet. Would recommend to friends!

Good for moderate gaming works good on rust forza and siege

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.

“The HP Victus runs smooth, handles games well, and the display quality is sharp. Great value for the price and reliable performance.”

A very Good laptop. I’m using for ray-x study! Excelente configuration! Its amazing!

It's fast, it's easier to use than you'd think and the gameplay is seamless. I love it.

Amazing and nice looking working to fast and it has nice display.

The overall performance of the system is good. I bought it for penetrating testings where i had to different virtualization where it works seamlessly.

Excellent, superior upgrade to my 2020 Lenovo ThinkPad.

Our son wanted this before he went off to college. He enjoys the look and feel of his new laptop!

Could use more storage in my opinion but I haven’t had any issues

Amazing laptop that runs great on middle and high end gaming! 60+ FPS, well worth the price for a gaming laptop on the go! Buy it and you won’t regret it!

Glad I made the purchase. I love Apple products and have been hesitant on the MacBook Pro. Has the power to take on any task. Will recommend to friends and family

It’s really great work on it !!!! I use my laptop for video games and also for my major at college

It's a good buy if you want something balanced and not spend a lot of money.

The RAM is upgradeable to 64 Gigabytes of DDR5-5600, which I personally decided to install the Corsair Vengeance series, with many sites and even Geek Squad saying 32GB max, which is simply false. So far so good. I ran into a minor BSOD issue, which the VRAM and GPU chip were not being recognized, but this was able to be resolved by updating the driver to the latest version (577.00 at time of writing). A little background for me includes working at IBM on server systems, systems testing, and scale management, along with working as a Managed Service Provider (contracted IT), Cybersecurity Specialist, and Network Administrator. I know what I'm doing with machines, to say the least. I will update this review approximately 6 months from purchase, which was on July 11, 2025 and shipment received on July 12, 2025. This machine is quite good for the cost on sale ($649.99), especially considering you get a dedicated GPU (dGPU) with 6GB of VRAM. This is good for lower-mid level graphics work, which is what I will be using this for. I installed some upgraded RAM modules so that I can work with multiple large applications at once, however, the installed 16GB of HP branded RAM and the dGPU is sufficient for gaming on High Settings (definitely not Ultra) in many of the newer AAA games at reasonable FPS. This machine is good for students who might want to play some games to decompress after some studying, or business workers for a bit extra power for the more demanding tasks. I strongly urge anyone who wants to use this for business or gaming to upgrade the operating system to the Pro version, so that you have more granular control over what runs, efficiency, and various settings that aren't available in the Home/Student version that is pre-installed (you can find deals on this with some searching). So far this has handled video (at 1080p/120fps) and photo (at 3840×2160) editing and some work in Blender with ease, and not a whole lot of resource usage. For the less technical, this works quite well for Full HD video editing and very smooth motion, and 4K photo editing with high detail and color accuracy. Blender is used for animation work, which typically requires some precision to which this is capable of. It doesn't get hot, and it hasn't reached its potential maximum workload. I haven't put this through my full testing yet, so I will update with more detailed information later as previously mentioned. All in all, this seems to be a pretty good machine for the price I paid. HP was making some mistakes with their product quality for a while, but it seems they have corrected that recently. The build quality is pretty solid, which is a dense thermal resistant plastic. The internal cooling fans (there are 2 blower style) seemed to be pretty quiet when I hit 78% GPU load. When I took off the bottom plate to install the RAM modules, the components seemed quite well organized, particularly for cooling purposes. Now for the relatively bad news: The USB-C port is only USB-C 3.0, which is capable of 5 Gigabits per second max downstream transfer... I would hope for at least USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 or USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 for 10 Gbps, but it doesn't seem to be in most HP devices (at least not yet). I'm not expecting USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4 in a lower cost machine, but some older standards should be reasonable enough in my opinion, which it is sadly lacking. The Type-A ports are both 3.0, so at least it's that much, but again, 3.1 would have been nice. As for the minor BSOD issue mentioned earlier, I'm calling that an NVIDIA/Win 11 issue, and not a machine issue since it was easily resolved with a driver update through the NVIDIA console. Now for the good news (because you don't get dessert without your veggies first): This machine is good for the money I paid and rather decent for the full retail cost of $899.99. It's capable of a reasonably high workload, even with the pre-installed 16 GB of RAM (2×8GB modules). It's fast enough for some reasonable gaming at 80-110 FPS for many newer games. Overall Score: 8 out of 10 - Good but not excellent 1 point for price ratio (max 2 - 1 for full retail price to what you get) 2 points for build quality (max 2) 2 points for components (max 2) 1 point for features (max 2 - 1 for lack of updated USB) 2 points for expectations met (max 2) I hope this is helpful for any readers, and I made sure to judge things as fair as I can. Update to come.
