Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great option for a first computer for anyone to begin with gaming. It was good speed, no lags. Display quality is also good. Batt. I got this for my son for his 13th birthday. He loves it.

I bought this laptop for school, and while it's quite adept to the task I'm using it for, it lacks in battery life. I understand it's a gaming laptop and I've should've chose a work station laptop instead, but I was able to change the OEM battery to a larger aftermarket battery by modifying the laptop's case. Been great ever since then!

Able to play my games at high fps, great display, battery life is average if you turn off the dedicated gpu, would prefer more than 8GB of ram, so I installed another 8GB.

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.

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.

This laptop honestly works great for me, I play some older games and they all run perfect. Battery life kinda sucks but I just leave it plugged in while I use it. I think I get about an hour out of the battery without it plugged in, while I'm playing a game.

For a low price this gaming laptop is top of the line. The battery life could use improvement. The functionality/performance of the laptop is outstanding. Graphics are also amazing.

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.

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.

this is a pretty solid choice if you’re looking for a budget gaming laptop. it can handle a lot of games at high settings when plugged in, and the high refresh rate makes the desktop super smooth. the battery life is also pretty decent esp when you’re just browsing or doing light stuff. a downside, however is the build quality. it’s made out of plastic so its kinda flimsy and the hinge is a bit wobbly as well :/ it also runs hot and loud when u do heavy gaming. the screen is fast and i also like the colors which I think would be great for creative work but thats just me :)) overall its a pretty good pick (taking into account ur budget) if u want strong performance for the price and dont pay much mind to the cons

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

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 .

Great computer. Hasn’t given me any troubles at all, but the battery dies kinda fast. Other than that the computer is great and has great graphics.

Runs really great, but it can run a little hot and the fans can be noisy.

This laptop is really smooth, gaming performance is outstanding, and definitely worth it.

MUST BUY IT MOVES FAST AND IT CHARGES FAST Just dies fast too

I couldn’t be happier with the HP Victus 15.6” Gaming Laptop! For its price point, this laptop is an absolute steal. The combination of an Intel Core i5 processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, and a 144Hz Full HD display delivers smooth and immersive gaming performance that exceeds expectations. The 512GB SSD is super fast, but the real kicker is the upgrade potential. For just around $100, I was able to upgrade the RAM and expand the storage to 1TB, turning this already powerful machine into a true gaming beast! HP nailed the design with the sleek Performance Blue finish, and the build quality feels durable and premium. Whether you’re a casual gamer or looking to dip your toes into more serious gaming, this laptop delivers performance and value that’s hard to beat. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality gaming laptop without breaking the bank!

Runs most modern games at medium to high settings without lag. 144Hz screen makes gameplay smooth and responsive. Intel i5 and RTX 3050 combo performs well for both gaming and multitasking. Storage is fast and generous for a laptop in this range. Build feels solid, though fans can get noticeable during heavy use. Good battery life for non-gaming tasks. Rating: 4.5/5

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.

Good for running games on medium to high settings, dlss can boost frames on lighter games to around 280-500 depending and most modern games on medium with dlss can hit 120-200 or on high can hit 120-160 dlss. Easy ram/memory upgrades with mine having 64gb which helps speed up moment to moment responsiveness for a lot of tasks. Can also play things like black ops 6 and halo infinite slightly above 60fps on high with dlss and even way further on medium and low, valorant, tf2, wow, cs2, Fortnite, marvel rivals and many other games can run really well as long as you’re not pushing high end/max settings. 144hz refresh rate is pretty good and the screens pixels are definitely vibrant for the cost.
