    Ok, the pc itself is not bad, works for any purpose with some previous small adjustments, but their factory software make it bad ON purpose. The laptop itself have 2 fans on the Middle of the LEFT side of the pc (weird), but have fins on all the way of the back side near the hinge and on the back, pretty good cooling system so far and light to bring back and forth anytime. Now the true review and why 3 stars, the factory software, the fans from the cooling system are good, but for some reason run at 1800rpm~ until reaching 45C°, running pretty hot but not using even half max fan power, why? Just for battery? To keep the noise low maybe? Ok alright, let me change it or have options for a more aggresive fan curve while using the 120w charging brick but NO, there is no way to do it out of the box, Omen Gaming Hub software(the HP command software) only have 3 options for that specific model and the performance for some reason while other models have more options. Those are Eco, Silent and Standard for performance and they are NOT that generous with the fans (we can also use "Max" option for the fans and max should be the way to go to preserve the components but 5400rpm just for idle all the time is insane, loud and the fans will give up before they are really needed), the BIOS doesn't help and doesn't let you do almost anything even updated(01/07/2025), fans? Nope. Desactivate dgpu? Nope. Use the Dgpu like the main device for the display? Nope. Now the performance, the performance is surprisingly good for a 35w CPU(maybe because it's 4nm?) and 50w dGPU(yeah, 50w while gaming and video editing while plugged), you have two ways to do the job, via APU(Radeon 740M) for battery life or dGPU(RTX4050) for maximum power, while it is good that you have more ways to do the job, for some reason you can't choose between them completely to turn off the other, not via software or BIOS, you will always have turned on the APU and dGPU and that will reduce the laptop battery (Maybe there is no way to do it by pure internal design? Hope not) but the only good thing is that you can delegate specific works when needed via Windows or Nvidia Software for battery life or max performance or even both! (by default unplugged and even sometimes plugged with the power brick it will use the APU but you can overwrite that via software), also the laptop display is connected directly to the APU so there is sometimes a bottleneck while passing graphical work to the dGPU BUT you can bypass this and only use the dGPU when using a external screen via HDMI, why? No idea. This is review is completely superficial and some of the "problems" maybe could be fixed with third party softwares, Changing OS and even BIOS updates/modifications but for now they don't give a way to do it out of the box not even in a hard way (or i haven't find any so far), i'll keep the device and maybe change the review if they fix this via software but for now... Hard to recommend for just anyone.

    The colors on the screen are super vibrant even if it's only 60% rgb. As per usual Windows and HP Services might be a bit buggy in the first week but that's totally normal. Pros: is lightweight, it's design is super sleek it looks quite premium even if it's plastic. The performance is so smooth and fast. Also pretty good performance with games.

    The HP Victus with Ryzen 7 and RTX 4050 is a great value gaming laptop. It runs modern games smoothly at 1080p with a 144 Hz display, has 16GB RAM and a fast 1TB SSD, and keeps good thermals. The design is clean and portable, making it useful for both gaming and everyday work. While the RTX 4050 is entry-level and may need medium settings on very demanding games, overall it offers excellent performance for the price.

    I’ve been using the HP Victus 15.6" (144Hz, Ryzen 7 7445HS, RTX 4050, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) for a while now, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The Ryzen 7 7445HS delivers incredibly smooth performance, and paired with the RTX 4050, this laptop handles modern games on high settings without breaking a sweat. The 144Hz Full HD display is crisp, vibrant, and makes fast-paced games look buttery smooth. Multitasking is effortless thanks to the 16GB of memory, and the 512GB SSD keeps everything fast—from boot times to launching games and apps. The Mica Silver design looks sleek and premium without being flashy, and the keyboard is comfortable for long gaming or work sessions. Overall, this laptop hits the perfect balance of power, thermals, and build quality at a great price. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable gaming laptop that performs far above its class!

    We bought this gaming laptop for our kid for Christmas, and it has been an absolute hit. Setup was quick and easy, and it ran perfectly right out of the box. The graphics are crisp, gameplay is smooth, and it handles demanding games without lag or overheating. Our kid was especially impressed with how fast everything loads and how clear the screen looks. The keyboard and design feel solid and high quality, and the battery life is better than we expected for a gaming laptop. Overall, this was a fantastic purchase and well worth the money. It made Christmas morning extra special, and we’re confident this laptop will last for years to come. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable, powerful gaming laptop for their child or teen.

    Solid Gaming Laptop | Bought during holiday

    This laptop is awesome, the 15” version can fit in any backpack really well. The 4050 is very capable compared to its older predecessor with its additional VRAM. I can run Cyberpunk, Rust, and other coding IDE’s. It’s usb-c port can plug into a docking station and support video output as well as other peripherals but it will still require an external charger. The battery is pretty decent when you have minimal applications running in the background(3-4hr), this did require to some extent removing bloatware but overall very fast. I wish this laptop had a camera privacy slider like other models. Would buy again if on sale.

    I bought this laptop for my son to do his college schoolwork and for playing Minecraft with his friends online. It does both very well! He's super happy with it. He said the battery life is like 2 hours, but he doesn't take it to school so it's pretty much always just plugged in. It charges quickly when he needs to charge it. There are only a few small things. He had to change some deep settings in the BIOS to use the volume buttons as marked. He's also had a few issues with the Bluetooth, but he and I need to look at that together before I can confirm this is actually a problem.

    The HP Victus is a solid mid-range gaming laptop featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS, RTX 4050 GPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, and a fast 144Hz FHD display. It offers strong performance for gaming and multitasking, while the 512GB SSD ensures quick load times. Great value for gamers seeking power and efficiency in a portable package.

    Impressive Performance at Acceptable Cost

    If you wait long enough between hardware updates, the improvements are very impressive. This machine replaces an i7-8550U 1.8GHz machine with 16 GB (upgraded from original 8 GB) and integrated graphics. This laptop is quite peppy in contrast. Thus far I have not had any performance issues with this laptop. Keyboard is acceptable, display colors are good. Battery life is slightly lower than the machine it replaces (which has a new battery installed replacing the original swollen pillow battery). I attribute this to the graphics. My original shopping list included 1 TB SSD, but I accepted the 0.5 TB in this unit as sufficient. Recommended when on sale.

    The HP Victus 15.6″ Gaming Laptop represents excellent value in its class — offering capable gaming hardware, a smooth 144 Hz display, and strong everyday performance without breaking the bank. It’s ideal for gamers who want reliable 1080p gameplay and multitasking ability in a portable form factor. Although the battery and storage could be improved, the overall package is compelling and highly recommended for mid-range gaming and general use.

    I recently purchased this laptop and it has exceeded my expectations. Performance is excellent, in games like Valorant and Fortnite run smoothly, and even heavier titles work without issues. The display is sharp and fluid, which makes gaming and everyday use feel really responsive. The laptop also stays cooler and quieter than I expected, and the overall build quality feels premium. For the price, this is honestly one of the best deals I’ve come across. If you’re looking for a laptop for both gaming and school/work, this is a great choice.

    This is hands on one of the best gaming laptops I could have ever asked for, I got it on a discount and this thing runs like a cheetah, it’s fast and it’s effective, it works wonders for either performance gaming and quality gaming, anything you could ask for, it gives you the best experience imaginable, yes, it is not a nasa pc, but it’s legit one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had, and the laptop is so easy to carry around that I sometimes even forget I have it in my backpack, 10/10 love it

    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.

    Its a good laptop. It's been over a month now, general use feels good. The screen looks crisp clear and bright. Full volume is a bit lesser than my previous dell inspiron laptop. I have tried 3 games in it so far: AC Origins, Days Gone and Clair Obscur Expedition 33. It has been able to run them all properly. Hasn't heated much. It has been good for coding in android simulators too which used to take forever in my old laptop.

    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
