Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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 :)

I bought this for school use with the occasionally gaming and it does that perfectly. The storage is a bit small but not a real issue since I have a external drive. Overall I’d recommend this laptop.

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.

Came in for a simple lap top that could withstand moderate regular use and light gaming but also within our price range. I really like this lap top, it works for what we use it for. Just wish the battery life was a bit better but it's not that big of a deal.

This laptop is absolutely worth it. It has more than enough ram and processing power to run AAA games on medium settings. Great for the price. The battery however could be a little bit better. It only last for about 2.5 hours while playing a game but will last much longer while doing normal work. Overall great buy. VERRY happy.

This Victus 15.6 inch is very intense because not only does it have 512gb it’s supper good when playing high end games the gaming laptop is so good and powerful that when you play any game the fan doesn’t sound as much Would recommend getting for this price

I find this pc to be very good for its price range. It's got a great processor, and a powerful, dedicated graphics card, and hasn't had any serious issues thus far. I would recommend this laptop for those on a budget.

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!

I bought this laptop so i could play the sims with mods and this checks every box. the laptop runs well, despite a bit of lagging here and there. also as mentioned in other reviews, the battery does not last long for gaming so you’ll be using the charger a lot. besides that, this was a great purchase and even better that it was on sale!

Nothing special but it’s quite decent if someone has a budget and needs it for budget gaming. However, its battery life isn’t too great and from my experience it lasted less than an hour - you could prob tweak it last a little bit over an hour if you need. But due to its battery if you’re trying to bring it around make sure to bring the charger with you. A lot of high end gaming laptops have bad battery life anyways. It is a 4060 laptop gpu so it runs a lot of games decent but multitasking on it isn’t going to be too easy because of the cpu so the laptop may have some difficulties there. If my budget was tight and needed a laptop over a desktop for some reason then this would be alright but there will be better deals in 2026 I’m sure. I recommend to someone to build a desktop pc if they can or just save a little more and look a little harder for something better

Got this little baby on black friday sale as a gift to myself. It runs great, no issues with fps when gaming, excellent for browsing and streaming as well. Sleek design and the look alone make it a high quality device.

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

This laptop has been amazing so far. It runs fast, plays games smoothly, and the 144Hz screen looks really good. The fans can get a little loud and the battery isn’t amazing, but that’s normal for a gaming laptop.

Super fast and great gaming laptop! The design and build is amazing. Very recommended laptop.

Works well, fan is alittle loud but manageable. I always keep it plugged in so the battery doesnt die out and runs games smoothly. I did notice some slight lag but its probably because im using too much ram

This laptop is TOP OF THE LINE!! My husband can’t believe all this laptop provides for the price! Amazing graphics card, ultra fast processor, built sturdy and durable and the cooling fan is so powerful!!

The HP Victus 15.6" 144Hz Full HD Gaming Laptop is widely reviewed as a "budget monster" and one of the best entry-level gateways into mobile PC gaming available in 2025 and 2026. While it makes some design compromises to keep the price accessible, its performance in 1080p gaming is consistently praised. I added a external keyboard as well to make it perfect for gaming.

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.

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.
