Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very good laptop for beginning gamers! My sister and I have recently been wanted to start our gaming journey and this laptop seemed to be an excellent fit! While researching into this laptop, I talked with Geek Squad who helped me understand more about what this laptop can give me! They were helpful, patient, and explained things in an easy to understand way. This laptop is good for beginners with its 16 GB RAM. While I recommend not playing a bunch of AAA games, it has been able to handle an AAA game and some other lower games with ease (with settings set to low). I may end up purchasing a cooling pad or updating the RAM to 32 GB but as of now the laptop works fine when playing for around a 2-3 hour range (the time I usually play for). I set the fans to max (on the OMEN Gaming Hub app) to help keep it from becoming too hot. It gets hot when playing the AAA game for around that time range above so I like to keep the fans on max. Though I’m not sure if this is the best solution long term so a cooling pad may be a better option if you have one or the money for one. The battery is pretty good. I usually keep it plugged in where I sit to game so I haven’t tried it out for long periods of time but it seems to be pretty good all things considered. The display can get a bit laggy when playing the AAA game for a long period of time but really nothing to worry about. It will just freeze for like a millisecond then be fine. No issues so far! All and all this laptop is incredible! Very fast, very smooth, nothing to complain about so far! Thank you Best Buy for helping me out and to help me make my sister and I have a great first gaming experience!

I bought this on-sale because I'd been using GeForce Now as my gaming platform. My old Staples desktop just couldn't handle games even 10 years old at times. GFN was a good compromise until now. This laptop gives me almost as good of an experience as GFN. Great processor and GPU. Smooth, quiet. Just wish the battery was a little better when gaming and not plugged in

Got this for my son. Mostly plays Minecraft, Roblox, and some Steam titles. As a joke we loaded Hogwarts Legacy and I was surprised how well it ran. Left auto detect settings on and it’s running on medium settings at 100 to 120 FPS. Very happy with it. The only gripe is build quality. Not a very rigid or hardened chassis, but for the price just be careful and it should be alright. Surprised how well the battery life is. And it’s cool. Much cooler than other gaming laptops. Not hot to the touch and no noisy fans while gaming.

If you are starting and serious about music production and need a machine that won't bottleneck your creativity; is worth every penny. It has significantly improved my mobile workflow and I highly recommend it.

For the price i paid works great and the games look hreat on it only complaint is storage and battery life

Nice laptop. Good speed, graphics, memory, etc. It would be nice to have one more USB port.

For the price, I wasn't expecting much but it actually is good. Runs great on and off the charger, fast processing speed without your internet bottlenecking. Would recommend getting the 1tb storage instead of 512 if youre gaming on it.

Overall great laptop weather it’s for gaming or just work. I was scared at first reading all the reviews in the battery life but just running off normal settings this laptop will last you 3-4 hours. Great for games that are not top notch and perfect for my school assignments especially with my programming. Great budget laptop!

Great graphics, fast processing speed, and lightweight. Overall, a great choice!

Purchase this laptop for my daughter because she needs one for school and also likes to play video games was looking for something that has a good graphics card and processor. this one fits the bill works great right out of box and performance is really good. Great bang for buck.

It’s a great laptop. Can run everything perfectly. The SSD is swappable so I swapped it for a 1TB SSD. There’s also an expansion slot for more RAM to boost performance. As for the performance now, with the GPU, CPU, and stock RAM, it can run every game my desktop can. It’s impressive such a small form factor can do that. Only downside is that due to that performance, the battery takes a hit. As a student, this can be a huge negative, but it should last through at most two classes. If you have an exam coming up, bring your charger. That being said, I’m quite happy with my purchase and I’m sure you will be too!

This gaming laptop is perfect for on-the-go gaming. It may be cheap but it certainly doesnt mean its not powerful. It runs most of my games at 60fps or close to it. The graphics card alone is almost the same price as the whole computer! Highly reccomend for a starter or for someone looking for a more mobile device.

My only major complaint with this laptop is the battery life is GOD AWFUL. But it runs games really well, has overall great performance speed, and it’s graphics is also pretty solid. I also use this for class and it’s a little heavy to carry but I honestly don’t mind. Overall, it’s not bad.

was looking for an inexpensive gaming computer and this was right in my price range. the graphics were just what i needed since i primarily just play the sims 4. it was also in the store while i was shopping so i got to take it home that night and the salespersons were very helpful and walked me thru what it does and also through buying it. the battery is okay. i keep it primarily plugged in, but it might be because i am playing a game that it dies quick? but it's a gaming laptop so idk. but im not worried about it and it doesn't reduce my use of the computer. i don't have any pictures, but the computer is a good size, and fits in my lap. one of the good things about This computer is the number key pad. i was also very excited to see that because i can't stand when a computer doesn't have that. so it's everything that i expect and want in a computer in one. the speed, especially while playing the sims, is so much better than all the other computers ive owned. there are a lot of loading screens in that game, and i don't spend more than 5 seconds where on my other non-gaming computer, it would take 10 seconds or more. it can handle the graphics of an actual PC on a laptop which is really nice. i haven't had any problems with the display. would absolutely recommend this to anyone who isn't a big gamer and also someone looking for a gaming computer that isn't 2000 dollars. there is also a light up keyboard if you press the function for it, which i find helpful in the dark

Great laptop! Great speed and graphics, lots of memory, does everything I was looking to do concerning video editing. I cannot speak to the gaming as I do not game.

A solid mid-range gaming and productivity laptop. The i5-13420H and RTX 4050 combo handles modern games and multitasking well. The 144Hz display is smooth and vibrant. Build quality is average (plastic), and battery life is modest. Great value for casual gamers and students. Pros: ✔ Good gaming performance ✔ Fast 144Hz IPS display ✔ 16GB RAM & SSD speed Cons: ✖ Plastic build ✖ Average battery life

Its probably the best "mid-tier" gaming laptop available. There have been complaints about the battery life, but it seems average to me. I have not had any problems running newer video games on it. The one complaint that I do have is about the plastic chasis. Im not opposed to plastic as opposed to metal; however, if you rest your hand to the right of the touchpad....the weight of your hand may activate the "right-clicker" even if you dont press it at its designed location. So, if you're typing a lot ot can be annoying. You just have to temind yourself to not type with your hands putting too much pressure on the sides of the trackpad. All in all, I would give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Works great would definitely keep it plugged in during gameplay though everything else however works great no complaints

HP Victus 15.6" with the Ryzen 7 7445HS and RTX 4050 offers excellent value for gamers and students alike. It handles modern games smoothly at 1080p with the 144Hz screen making everything feel extra fluid. The 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD keep things fast and responsive for daily use. The build quality is solid and sleek in Mica Silver. Fans can get a bit loud under heavy load, but overall this laptop delivers great performance for the price. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an affordable gaming or productivity laptop. Worth the money I bought.

It runs games really well. I haven't played a game where i couldn't run it on high graphics and still get good frames. The battery life is alright when on battery but not the best. Everything else is great though really a good laptop.
