Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bough this for $540 brand new, by far one of my best purchases. Upgraded it next day with a 16GB stick for $40 and since it run perfectly. The ram is necessary tho, because without upgrading the 8gb are always capping and cut your fps in half, but with the ram I can not complain. It also came with 3 months of Gamepass.

Don't have much experience with gaming pcs but this one is decent and what you would expect for the price. Runs ok but struggles with many things open or certain games will lag a lot. Battery life is pretty bad you would just have to have it plugged in all the time. Features are nice and screen looks great. Would recommend for functionality and low price.

I was looking for something within budget to enjoy gaming on the go and this laptop has delivered. Great graphics and speed for a great price, i highly recommended this product you will not be disappointed.

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 laptop exceeded my expectations in almost every way. Performance is fast and reliable, handling everyday tasks like browsing, streaming, office work, and even light multitasking with ease. The system feels responsive, boots quickly, and stays stable even after long hours of use. The build quality is surprisingly solid for the price. It feels well-made, not cheap or flimsy, and the keyboard is comfortable for typing, which makes a big difference for work or studying. The screen is clear and sharp, with good brightness and colors that are more than enough for daily use. Battery life is another strong point. It easily lasts several hours on a single charge, which is perfect for work, classes, or travel without constantly worrying about plugging it in. What really stands out is the cost-benefit ratio. For the price, this laptop delivers features and performance you’d normally expect from more expensive models. It’s an excellent option for students, professionals, or anyone looking for a dependable machine without overpaying. Overall, this is a very good laptop and a smart purchase. If you’re looking for strong performance, solid build quality, and great value for your money, this notebook is definitely worth it.

Good pc for the pricd for sure and super easy to upgrade ram and ss if needed

I got this laptop during a Deal of the Day about 2 weeks ago. It was at $599 but I got an open box at $508. First thing I did was buy 32gb of Ram and a 2tb NVME drive. Installing the drive and ram was pretty straight forward. I was surprised that the laptop had 2 NVME slots. I was debating between a handheld gaming pc or a gaming laptop. I do light gaming and also use slicing software for my 3D printer. I have to say, I am not disappointed at all with the Victus laptop. I have been playing the Gears of War beta and it looks great. I am getting over 100 fps. One thing I noticed when I have the system metrics going is that GoW Beta makes the CPU run at 100%, same with CoD and any graphic intensive game. I think the i5 processor is likely the culprit but the thermals stay in a good range. Don't get me wrong, you can hear the fans when they go on high but I can also hear my wall AC so it's not a big problem. I seriously wanted to splurge on the Asus G14 or G16 but did not want to spend all that money, especially since I didn't need all that power. The screen isn't something to brag about but it gets bright enough and I honestly keep my laptop connected to an external 2k monitor so its a none-issue for me. The HP Omen software is pretty good in that it lets you tweak your games using their AI to switch the game to the beset display settings but outside of enabling the metrics, I rarely use it I think if you can find this laptop at $500 or below, it is a great buy, just get more ram.

Overall I would say this laptop is ok for the price. I'll admit my attitude going into it wasn't the best because I feel I was forced into purchasing a new laptop just to get Windows 11 before October, but it had to be done and so far this laptop has met my requirements at least. I've had an ASUS gaming laptop for almost 15 years that I've really enjoyed so it's been really difficult for me to have to replace it. I've actually tried a few replacements over the years but ended up returning them for various reasons and just ended up taking the ASUS in for repairs because it was somehow outperforming the newer, more expensive models I was trying to replace it with. I think I still prefer my old ASUS to this HP, but keeping the old one is no longer an option so I've decided this one is sufficient for at least the next few years. The main issue I have with it so far is the touchpad. Since I've not been in the market for a new laptop for quite some time I had no idea it wouldn't have actual buttons to left and right click. I'm getting used to it, but I don't see myself ever preferring this to tactile buttons. Also no matter how I change the sensitivity settings I'm still having issues with it. Even at the lowest settings I'm still getting a lot of accidental clicks and dragging issues while being unable to control finer movements to click on smaller buttons. I tried adjusting back to medium sensitivity and the finer movements still aren't improved. The worst issue I've experienced with the touchpad though is if you place it directly on your lap it goes absolutely berserk. I did some research and finally saw a reddit post where some users had narrowed it down to an issue with the plastic casing. Somehow the touchpad will sense anything around it or even under it. Just resting it on your legs can trigger unintended 3 or 4 finger gestures. The 2nd time I used the laptop on my lap I placed it on a cooling pad and it eliminated the issue, but I still would have liked to have known about it before purchasing. The first time it happened I spent a good 4 hours fighting with it, thinking I'd gone insane and was somehow failing to be able to use a simple touchpad before finally finding this information. I had scoured the reviews to a similar model this one was based on (this one only had 1 review at the time I purchased it) and not a single person mentioned this issue. I find that so strange since apparently it's a known issue that many reddit users have complained about. Personally, I find it very concerning that the laptop casing is so thin and cheap that the touchpad can sense through it. While it does look nice, you can tell right away that it feels kind of flimsy. Thankfully it seems I got a good one at least because during my research I did see photos that others had posted where their touchpad was sunken in along one side and having worse issues. Mine is at least level and functioning but I know for future reference to be extremely careful with it. I haven't had an HP in a long time but I do like how quickly it starts up. I could do without some of the ads though. For the first week it feels like it gave me weird startup notifications almost every time I started it. Some of them seemed quite urgent like "low memory" and "registry issues detected", which at first glance is really concerning when using a brand new laptop but I found that if you click to resolve the issue it basically just takes you to an advertisement for HP iolo. I'm fine if a company wants to advertise, but the false system notifications are really uncalled for. Despite my annoyance and concerns with how well the plastic casing and touchpad will hold up, I have decided to keep it. Keep in mind I've only used it for less than 2 weeks but it does at least perform well. Hopefully it will continue to hold up long-term.

Our HP Victus had a seemless start up, crisp and clear image resolution, clean sound, super comfortable keyboard, and is lightweight but substantial. We use primarily for business purposes but our Victus does everything and more.

Honestly, I bought it more for how it looks and I loved the design. I knew it was a modest processor for games, but I was surprised by the performance since between the video card and the disk, it runs demanding games. Yes, I increased the RAM and I will put more, but apart from its excellent presentation, the keyboard is super smooth, it is the best average machine for work, games, design and content creation.

Great computer, great price, easy to add more ram, very fast computer, I upgraded to 24 mg ram. HP update app is easy to use. I use the computer for music production with “ live DAW works great.

give me a neutral one paragraph product review of the HP Victus 15.6 with the i5 and 3050 gpu The HP Victus 15.6 with an Intel Core i5 processor and NVIDIA RTX 3050 GPU generally offers a solid entry-level gaming experience, capably running many modern titles at 1080p on medium to high settings with its 144Hz display, though the screen's brightness and color accuracy can be limiting. While its all-plastic build might exhibit some flex and battery life is typical for a budget gaming laptop (requiring it to be plugged in for extended gaming), it provides good value for its performance and typically maintains reasonable thermals.

Grandson's Christmas present and he raves about how fast and easy to use it is. Glad I bought it for him! We'll probably bring it in for some helpful Geel Squad hints about using its features.

The HP Victus 15.6" is a great pick if you're getting into PC gaming or need a capable laptop for everyday use. The Intel Core i5 and RTX 3050 combo handles most games well on medium to high settings, and the 144Hz display makes gameplay feel super smooth. It looks clean and modern in Mica Silver, and the keyboard is comfortable for long sessions. The 512GB SSD keeps things running fast, and there’s enough power for school, work, and light content creation too. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly gaming laptop that still delivers solid performance, this one’s a smart choice.

very good computer the build quality is exceptional and it has good specs. The only drawback would be the RAM there is only 8gb of it which can slow things down but i have never had any big issues with it great computer I highly recomend

For the price it's a great budget buy. I had to stuff an additional 2TB of Storage and 32GB of RAM for it to make sense for my workloads and games, but I'd say it is a better bargain than most PCs in it's price range Used from BackMarket or FB MarketPlace.

Good laptop, great for gaming, but the fan is loud and overheats. Battery doesnt last long.

Amazing computer great for gaming and for work haven't had any problems with it. I do recommend keeping it plugged in because the battery life kind of sucks but still great computer

Great laptop for the price! Works great, sharp graphics, and not too bad of a keyboard. The only downside is the battery life, otherwise, wonderful product!

Decent response time. The graphics are great for the price of the laptop. Battery isn’t the best, but can’t be mad about it because the laptop is very budget friendly
