Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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

I recently bought the HP Victus laptop, and I’m really happy with it so far. It offers great performance for the price and works well for both gaming and everyday use. The design is clean and modern, performance is smooth, and it handles multitasking and games without any issues. The display looks good, the keyboard is comfortable, and the battery life is decent for a gaming laptop. Overall, it’s great value for money and I’d definitely recommend it.

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.

Great laptop only problem is the battery and it needs to stay plugged in while gaming for performance otherwise very clean design and think and portable

I’m satisfied with this laptop overall. It performs well for daily tasks, has a smooth and fast response, and the screen quality is clear and comfortable for long use. The design is sleek and lightweight, making it easy to carry around. Battery life is decent and meets my needs. For the price, it’s a good value and I would recommend it.

No issues after 30 + days, screen display can be somewhat dim, but the build in calibration tool can help that improve to one's liking. I have yet to attach an acceptable external display intended for this device, so i can not assess that part yet (may update later). Battery drain depends on what you are using and the current settings. Still, good functionality and a budget friendly device.

so It has a killer refresh rate. AMD Ryzen 7 chip. Triple the speed of the Pentium. It's not just the chip. It has a PCI bus. But... you knew that. Indeed. RISC architecture is going to change everything. Yeah. RISC is good. but AMD is better. Amazing entry and perfect for my 12yr old who wanted to move from console to pc gaming. she's looking to become the next acid burn.

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!

It was a good purchase for the price. Has a good refresh rate and the graphics look really nice when gaming. Also a laptop for work. Just wished it had more storage.

Excellent notebook, fast, beautiful and lightweight.

Solid midrange gaming laptop. The Ryzen 7 7445HS and RTX 4050 handle 1080p gaming well, with the 144Hz display giving smooth visuals. 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD are adequate, but storage may feel tight for large game libraries. Build is plain but functional. Runs hotter and louder under load compared to premium models. Good performance per dollar, but limited upgrade options and average battery life.

Portable friendly. Not too big and not too small. Good for office work during travels or even "remote" style jobs. Good for gaming, holds up similar to my high end gaming desktop. 10/10 would recommend.

An incredible deal, purchased for my son to run a racing simulator and other graphic/processor-heavy games and he loves it! Its still small, sleek enough to carry to school but delivers the speed and capacity to play!

I like it. It's faster than I expected. It runs games same or better than my i5 rtx3070 desktop. But the build quality is iffy, the case is kinda flimsy plastic with a seam that catches my skin. The power cord port is flexing and seems unlikely to survive multiple years of use. I got it 40% off and it lets me game between dispatches at work, so I'm happy with it.

The device functions well processing higher power games and I like the way that it feels! It's pretty sleek and it fits well in my backpack!

I have used the HP Victus 15.6" Ryzen 7 / RTX 4050 model for half a year now, and overall I think it’s a solid gaming laptop for the price. Performance-wise, it’s very good as it can handle most games smoothly, and it runs great for titles that don’t require ultra-high specs. It’s also more than capable for everyday use like browsing, streaming, and general productivity. The only downside is that it gets hot pretty quickly, especially when gaming. When it heats up, the fans get pretty loud. You also can’t really leave it in sleep mode or closed for too long like a MacBook, because it can get warm or sometimes restart. So I usually shut it down completely when I’m done using it. Overall, if you’re looking for a budget-to-midrange gaming laptop and can tolerate some heat and fan noise, this is a good choice. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely sufficient for casual to moderate gaming and everyday use.

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

Wonderful! Shipped in a box with lots of protection inside. This is a wonderful gaming laptop and is slim and doesnt make a lot of noise, perfect for bringing around on the go :)
