    This product is great for a budget gaming laptop. It is lag-free, silent, and has impeccable speakers. The NVIDIA Graphics Card and elegant keyboard provides a seamless touch to the computer.

    Excellent. The best laptop considering how much it costs and how well it performs its amazing. The only problem you will find is its storage size but you can expand it later so at least for me this has no problems

    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.

    From Battlefield 6 to 4K Edits – Victus Crushes!

    I snagged this open-box HP Victus in "Excellent" condition from Best Buy for an absolute steal (~$575–$635 after tax), and wow—it's exceeded every expectation! This thing is a beast for both gaming and video editing, especially at this price point. Gaming performance is fantastic: It runs Battlefield 6 beautifully at high settings with smooth frame rates, no stuttering, and great visuals thanks to the RTX 4050's ray tracing and DLSS support. The 144Hz Full HD display makes everything feel buttery smooth, and thermals stay reasonable even during long sessions (fans get audible but not jet-engine loud). For video editing (my main use), it's a dream machine—Adobe Premiere Pro flies on this Ryzen 7 + 16GB setup. Timeline scrubbing, effects, color grading, and exports are quick and responsive, even with 4K footage (proxies help for heavier projects, but it's rarely needed). The Mica Silver finish looks sleek and professional too. Only minor nitpick: 512GB fills up fast with games and footage, and while 16GB RAM is solid now, I might upgrade to 32GB down the line when prices drop (easy access on this model). But for the money? Unbeatable value—handles modern AAA titles like Battlefield 6 effortlessly and doubles as a serious creative workstation. If you're hunting a budget-friendly RTX 4050 gaming/editing laptop that punches way above its price, grab one of these open-box deals while you can. Highly recommend—I'm thrilled with this beast! Would buy again in a heartbeat. 5/5 stars.

    Great for $699 on sale

    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.

    The built quality is acceptable, I don’t mind. It looks sleek and good. The rtx 4050 mobile is still okay for gaming, I don’t play the most demanding games but I get 200 or more fps in csgo2 (I use a laptop cooler as well). For work it’s good, the cpu is pretty good. Overall i recommend to buy this when it’s on sale if you are looking for a budget gaming lap top. The only thing I could complain that its gaming application that helps you change the performance modes and stuff is not that good.

    Don't do trade in with Best Buy

    This gaming laptop is great! I'm able to run Baldurs Gate 3 without any issues nor without the laptop heating up excessively. However I would not recommend doing a trade in with Best Buy. I sent in my old laptop which was fully functioning and in fair condition but because of a small fray in the power cord, the trade in was rejected. I reset my laptop and shipped it all for nothing. Better to keep your laptop or take it somewhere else.

    Great performance, works for all college CAD needs so far. Battery isn't terrible as other reviews state. It is a little heavy so not the pick if you're looking for something super lightweight. Overall, highly recommend, especially if on sale!!

    Love this laptop. Almost zero noticeable lag. Multitasks well, I’ve had over 15 different browser tabs open and load times were fast. L (2g internet speed with Hitron Modem & Archer 11000x router setup). Gaming graphics are exceptional. I would certainly consider this a nice gaming laptop at an affordable price point.
