Customer Ratings & Reviews

This laptop is an absolute unit for it's price! It can run almost any game above 100+ fps! It can handle my gaming and excels in school work too.

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 HP Victus laptop combines sleek design with powerful performance, ideal for gaming and productivity. Featuring high-refresh-rate displays, modern AMD or Intel processors, and dedicated NVIDIA graphics, it delivers smooth gameplay and multitasking. Its spacious storage, advanced cooling system, and customizable backlit keyboard make it a versatile choice for everyday use.

Purchased at 529 and it far exceeded my expectations. This machine comes with 1 open RAM slot and 1 open NVME slot, so i got a Crucial 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz kit (2x 16GB) and a Team Group 2TB NVME SSD and this thing is a workhorse for my needs. I really appreciate the muted 'Gamer' theme as the keyboard is backlit in white and the whole appearance is very mature with minimal branding. 13th Gen i5 works well for my needs, and 6GB of dedicated RTX 3050 horsepower is very reliable. I currently use it for esports titles which all get 100+FPS maxed out, RTS titles, and indie games. If you are realistic about your needs, I think this a great purchase. At the time of this review this machine is even lower priced at 499, making it a steal. Add some RAM and a 2nd SSD!

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 ❤️

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

The display is sharp and vibrant, with a high refresh rate that makes gameplay feel incredibly smooth. Colors look great, and the screen brightness is more than enough for both indoor and well-lit environments. The keyboard is comfortable with good key travel, making long gaming sessions enjoyable, and the backlighting adds a nice touch.

Took a shot on this for my daughter's 16 birthday. She's wanted a gaming laptop, but I didn't want to go overboard, and spend an arm and a leg. She got it set up in minutes and loves it. She plays Steam, Roblox, and Minecraft and absolutely loves this laptop. Would 100% recommend.

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.

Great graphics, smooth design. The backlit keyboard helps at night

Works perfectly fine and is super fast. It was exactly what I was looking for
