I really like this for portable gaming. I had to play around with the settings a bit, but I can still get around 100 fps if I am playing in 1080p. And with playing on a 15" screen 1080p is just fine with me. For the price I feel like this is a much better option then a ROG Ally or SteamDeck for on the go gaming.

I recently got the HP Victus 15.6″ laptop, and overall it’s one of the best value-for-money gaming laptops I’ve used in this price range. It’s clearly aimed at budget-to-midrange gamers and creators who want solid performance without spending a premium.
Design & Build
The Victus 15.6″ has a simple, clean design that doesn’t scream “gaming” too loudly — ideal if you want something that works for both work and play. The build is mostly plastic, which keeps the weight down but doesn’t feel quite as premium as pricier laptops.
Display
The 15.6″ Full HD 144Hz display is one of the laptop’s highlights — the high refresh rate makes games feel much smoother compared to standard 60 Hz panels. Color brightness and gamut aren’t class-leading, but they’re good enough for casual gaming and media.
Performance
Performance depends a lot on the specific configuration you choose (CPU/GPU/RAM):
With an RTX 4050 and a modern CPU, the Victus handles 1080p gaming well, hitting smooth frame rates in many popular titles.
Multitasking and creative work like video editing or graphic design are also quite snappy, especially with 16 GB or more RAM.
Be aware that 8 GB of RAM is often a bottleneck, so upgrading to 16 GB (or more) is worth considering if you want a smoother experience overall.
Battery life leans toward the short side, especially under gaming load. Don’t count on long unplugged sessions if you’re doing heavy work or play.
hat I Like
Excellent price–performance balance for gaming and everyday use.
144Hz display feels noticeably smoother.
Upgrade-friendly design (RAM & storage).
Good port selection.
Verdict: If you want a budget-friendly gaming laptop that handles modern games and everyday tasks with ease — and you’re prepared to upgrade the RAM for the best experience — the HP Victus 15.6″ offers very strong value for the money.

Much needed uograde for me. Needed a super processor and a nvdia gpu!! This fit the bill. I bought this laptop to trade on and its awesome. Im not a gamer but im pretty sure this will exceed your gaming needs

The laptop was purchased as a "good quality". An to my surprise it was probably just the abundance of finger prints. I can run World of Warcraft on medium graphics on hotel wifi pretty reliably. Battey life is the only reason I didnt give it a 5. All else. I am very happy.

I got this laptop about a month ago, and it is good. It has a nice refresh rate, good CPU. It's able to run high end games on medium to low graphics of course. The GPU isn't the greatest.

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!

For my first gaming laptop I’m go ahead and say I’m impressed even under heavy gaming session you can’t even hear the fans it handles my favorite titles with ease if your looking for a gaming laptop and happen to see this one on sale

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.

Great computer for casual gamers. I use it for gaming on the go and workbook computation. Good for the price point. The only thing that I would want is the keys to light up. When you play games, the battery drains.
