Customer Ratings & Reviews

THIS LAPTOP WAS MUCH NEEDED IT CAN RUN PRETTY MUCH ANY OF MY GAMES!! got it when it was on sale 100% Recommend (although make sure to upgrade the ram cause 8GB Ram is NOT IT) and when its on sale IMMEDIETALY BUY IT cause it's more worth it then

This laptop is great for basic grading. If you play several games then you may need to add more RAM.

I got mine on black Friday discount, 300 dollars off retail, so that does factor into my review. This is my 2nd HP budget gaming laptop since 2020. Both have been able to run modern games at low settings. The big draw back to both is A only 8GB of RAM on the standard/budget model, and relatively small SSD drive space by todays bloated game install sizes. Excellent value for money and highly recommend for budget entry level gaming laptop.

the graphics card is great along with most other features, would for sure suggest buying an extra amount of ram, personally put in 32 gb's and runs most new games smoothly, obviously not a high grade computer but still a good runner

Not a super powerful gaming system, but plays all the games I want to without issues. 8GB memory is a bit short, so I upped it to 32GB and it runs great now. All I want to do is bump up the storage a bit and this should last me a while. The laptop is made of plastic and gets a bad reputation for the hinges breaking, but one month in and mine is in good shape. Just open gently from the center and you should have no problems.

Great laptop, haven’t had a single issue with it since I bought it. If I were to pick anything at all to complain about, battery life isn’t great…but it’s a powerful machine so that’s kinda expected

This HP Victus 15.6" gaming laptop is an absolute powerhouse for the price. The 144Hz Full HD display is super smooth and makes a huge difference in both gaming and everyday use — everything looks fluid and responsive. The Intel Core i5 combined with the RTX 3050 graphics card handles modern games like a champ, especially on medium to high settings. Boot times and load speeds are lightning fast thanks to the 512GB SSD, and the 8GB of memory is enough for most tasks, though I may upgrade in the future for even better multitasking. Build quality is solid, and the Mica Silver finish gives it a sleek, premium look. Whether you're a casual gamer, student, or someone looking for a strong all-around laptop, this one delivers great performance without breaking the bank. Highly recommend it!

This is way faster than my previous laptop, this laptop is primarily for gaming. I like it the graphics are better.

This was purchased for my 14 y/o as his introduction into gaming laptop/ PC world and HE LOVES IT!!! He has been on that laptop every opportunity he’s allowed. The price point was perfect, as these items can tend to be very pricey. The associate in the store was very helpful with answering any questions that I had. As a single mom who stopped at Nintendo I had PLENTY lol

The 144Hz Full HD display is a standout — colors pop, and the higher refresh rate really enhances both gaming and everyday use. I’ve found the keyboard comfortable for long sessions, and the system handles multitasking well, especially after upgrading the RAM.

Great computer ! great visuals and works fast , amazing storage, has been working perfect for my job

Its a gen old laptop with not enough ram... its fine for what I'll do with it, I'll add ram when i can

A really great budget friendly gaming laptop, doesn’t have much cons but the battery life is not the long specially when playing games, and the fan noise its not really noisy at all. Over all this pc runs great and smoothly.

Good starter gaming laptop. Got what the money we paid for. Anything negative is about laptops in general. This laptop has good image, good speed, and can game on the go.

I recently purchased the HP Victus 15 laptop from Best Buy and had a great experience overall. The customer service was excellent — the staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. As for the laptop, the HP Victus 15 delivers solid performance for both everyday use and gaming. It’s fast, responsive, and handles multitasking really well. The graphics look great, and the display is smooth, making it perfect for entertainment and work alike. Overall, I’m very satisfied with both the product and the service at Best Buy. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a reliable gaming laptop at a good value!

A great value gaming Laptop! It gets a bit loud, but hard to complain about at this price. We hook ours up to a TV when gaming, which helps reduce the fan noise since it’s further away. Plays a ton of games at 1080p pretty nicely.

This is probably the worst PC I have ever owned. It has fairly decent performance for casual gaming. However, it has had battery and network connection issues since day one. I wish I had returned it in the two weeks after I bought it, because it has only gotten worse. It can only hold a charge for about 30 minutes during a gaming session. I know this is pretty common for gaming laptops and you can expect to be plugged in most of the time. But the thing that gets me is I can have all apps closed out, nothing running in the background, fully charged and asleep and the battery will be totally drained overnight while not in use. I wake it up the following morning and it’s somehow at 5%. Why? I have owned a cheap Lenovo laptop used it mainly for gaming even though it was not a gaming laptop and did not have these issues with the battery. On to the network connectivity. It will at random and for no apparent reason just refuse to stay connected to the Wi-Fi for more than two minutes at a time, connecting and disconnecting every few minutes. This will go on for a few hours no matter what I do to try to fix the connection. Then just as randomly it will reconnect and be fine for days. It is not my Wi-Fi since every other device in the house is connected without issue. I have to conclude that it’s this computer. And the fact that it has done this from the beginning leads me to believe there’s something wrong. I am not very tech savvy, although I am capable of troubleshooting minor issues with help from google. I just don’t know what the problem is here and I do not want to spend more money to get this fixed when I have only had it for a few months. Cannot return it but am still paying for it. Also the fan is incredibly loud and you better not have this on your actual lap while playing a game because it gets so incredibly hot, it will burn your legs. It is also very slow. I know this model is a 2023 but I bought it supposedly brand new. For comparison, I previously owned a Dell xps desktop which I used for gaming for 3 years, it was not the newest model when purchased, and I never once had an issue with diminishing speed. For example, it will take like 5 minutes to load up my game after hitting start, the dell would be practically instant. And….same internet connection soooo….. Overall very disappointed considering it had pretty positive reviews. It underperforms for the price imho. A $200 Lenovo not made for gaming did better than this. /sigh

It’s my first Windows based laptop since windows 7 release , I’m a bit surprised how it performs in a good way. Battery capacity maybe 1 hour of gaming in performance mode. Overall great looking laptop with nice full keyboard, runs good and cool .

I purchased this laptop so that I could play one of my favorite pc games. So far the performance is amazing and I'm glad that I purchased it. I would definitely recommend the HP-Victus. I'm not sure if it has to be plugged up the entire time of use, but the battery life isn't great without being on constant charge. I do unplug it a few times per day to allow the computer a chance to not overcharge.

I would recommend this item if you just want to play small, cozy games. It also always needs to be on the charger, or it will die. But the graphics were good, and it runs smoothly. I mostly played Roblox, Sims 4, and Minecraft on it.
