Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

It's a very portable laptop and for the price it has very good CPU and GPU.

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.

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

Very good pc runs minecraft at 300 fps and can run roblox at 240 i love it got it on sale for 500 but if you are going to buy it for 900 just get a laptop with 2060

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

I am enjoying my new gaming laptop. It's a great size, 15.6 in. It travels well with the SSD drive, is sturdy, and features backlit keys, which is a must when traveling. The graphics look great, and I am happy with my purchase.

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

Initially i missed my old laptop to much to bond with my new HP. Now that i know my way around, im loving it. Its faster. Half the weight. Supports my fav game very well ❤️

Bought to play games during break times at work. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!! Runs Marvel Rivals, Valorant, and Counter Strike very well.

I really enjoy this laptop. Probably one of the best ones I've ever had. The only complaint I have about it is the 8GB ram, HOWEVER there is the option to get the the other version with more RAM so that wasn't even a big deal. This laptop does come with an additional RAM slot to be able to add more if needed so that's definitely a plus for me. I love the way the keyboard feels and the way that my fingers easily flow across it. I got this laptop in the beginning to just play the Sims 4 in a better way (had a Dell previously and it had did all it could) and this laptop handles it EASILY. Moved on to InZOI and it also handles it pretty well, but definitely came in clutch with that extra RAM storage. All in all, not a bad laptop IMO and would be one that I recommend.

Kid uses the laptop for light gaming and handfles all that perfectly. Much quieter than expected

Bought this for my son so he could game while we travel as a family. While not the most powerful computer on the planet, it more than got the job done. Easy to setup and quite sturdy, this was such an excellent value.
