Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this laptop. Its snappy for what it is. I use it to play games mostly Minecraft with my kid. The processor doesnt really seem to bog down to much qhen loading worlds, the nether, etc. Only down side is the ram, but that was cheap and easy to fix. Its a great buy for simple gamingish laptop.

I recently purchased the HP Victus gaming laptop equipped with the AMD Ryzen 5 CPU and Radeon RX graphics, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! This laptop has truly exceeded my expectations in both performance and versatility. First and foremost, the gaming experience is fantastic. The combination of the processor and graphics delivers smooth frame rates and stunning visuals, allowing me to fully immerse myself in my favorite games. Whether I’m diving into intense action scenes or exploring vast open worlds, the performance is consistently impressive. I appreciate how well it handles demanding titles without overheating, thanks to its efficient cooling system. Beyond gaming, I use this laptop for audio and video editing, and it has proven to be a powerful tool for my creative projects. It handles multitasking effortlessly, allowing me to run demanding editing software while still keeping other applications open. Rendering videos and processing audio files is quick and efficient, making my workflow much more productive. Another highlight is the display quality. The vibrant colors and sharp resolution enhance not only gaming but also movie watching. Streaming my favorite films and shows is a delight, as the laptop delivers rich visuals and clear sound quality. The battery life is also commendable, allowing me to enjoy extended viewing sessions without constantly needing to recharge. The design of the HP Victus is sleek and modern, making it a great addition to my workspace. It’s portable enough to take to coffee shops or workspaces, and the keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions, whether I’m gaming or editing. Overall, the HP Victus gaming laptop is a powerhouse that excels in gaming, content creation, and entertainment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and high-performing laptop for both work and play. It has truly enhanced my gaming and creative experience!

Good laptop when on sale for $500. Especially on tax free holiday weekend. The 4GB 6550M GPU runs games better than I expected. I am seeing 60+ FPS in Fortnite. 60+ FPS in D4 (100+ FPS w/ FSR2 enabled). However, 8GB of RAM is not enough. I had to add RAM. It comes with 1 x 8GB RAM stick. You can find another 8GB 4800mhz CL40 SO-DIMM stick online for about $20. You really want to run in dual channel anyways. Even though DDR5 is technically able to run dual channel on 1 stick. BestBuy only had 16GB sticks so I picked up two and am running at 32GB. May be overkill, LOL. You can find videos online on how to remove the back panel and upgrade ram. It is fairly easy. Remove 7 screws. I used an old credit card to carefully pry apart the seams as not to scratch it.

Amazing laptop. Very fast and honestly amazing for school! the battery life kind of sucks, so that's why I took a star away. Other than battery life, this laptop is amazing for the price.

This pc is great. For games, it can run pretty much all of the small indie games, and can actually run the slightly bigger ones like Sonic Racing Crossworlds (who wanna play with me?). Although, I believe that the base ram isnt enough, and some stuff doesn't work like the light-up keyboard, but to me those are some minor inconveniences. Overall, this laptop is amazing, Definitely worth the price (when it’s around $500)

I bought this for my daughter for school. Does everything she needs and more. She also plays Genshin Impact, Minecraft, and Roblox. The graphics are not super high tech, but they are good enough to keep her happy. Battery life is okay, unless playing a game, or have lots of tabs open.

Man I was setting the laptop up and reading the reviews and thought about turning it off and returning but i figured i would try it myself since i had it and glad i did! All i wanted was to play bops 6 and fortnite on the go and this laptop does it with ease! As others had mentioned definitely would get another 8gb of ram(like 22 bucks) and thats it. Play cod no problem and fortnite abd both games look good for 1080 p. Its not game in 4k or nothing but if you just want something to play on the go and dont feel like carrying a big ps5 or new xbox everywhere you go this is it! Now i wouldnt pay 699-799 for it but on sale for 429.99 is a steal! Just get the ram and your set!

I had originally been looking for a low priced desktop with a dedicated GPU to help speed up 3D rendering in some non-gaming apps that I use. That search ended quickly with the outrageously high GPU prices. I decided to check into gaming laptops and I stumbled upon this laptop for $450 (on sale) and decided it would fit the bill and was well within budget. I easily upgraded to 32GB of RAM and this laptop is actually a pretty decent spec'd system for the money. The dedicated GPU works well for what I need. The GPU with only 4GB of VRAM might be a bottleneck for most AAA gaming titles, but it's fine for what I need with 3D modeling. If you can find it on sale, it's a great budget gaming laptop.

seems ok. I bought this for my 11 year old son. he hasn't played it much but wifi seems slow. overall decent build quality, but the screen is kinda washed out. speakers a quiet. the battery life seems weird when's its fully charged it says under 3 hours left that's without anything running. also its kinda loud and the fan runs a lot. for half price its worth it but full price im unsure. runs Roblox fine but he's says its lags on Fortnite

Bought it during Black Friday this year (2024) & had it for a week so far. It's pretty good, the only downside is the 8GB of RAM, but it can still play most games pretty well. I mostly am using it for older games, but it can play Arkham Knight, Witcher 3, & Cyberpunk 2077 on mid-low settings at 1080p with a good framerate or high if you don't mind lower framerates, but the fans get kind of loud, so I'd stick with mid-low settings at 1080p or 720p with high settings. I might upgrade the RAM later down the line, but for right now it's doing well enough out of the box. It's definitely great for indie & retro gaming & also great for non-gaming stuff like streaming. The price was also really good & you can't really find much better in that price range. Plus. it's an HP & my last HP laptop was also really good, but it was old & I needed an upgrade.

My Legion Slim which I had for several years unexpectedly died during a bios update. I also used that laptop for my primary work device so I needed to buy something cheap and quick. The Victus was on sale at the time for $450 so i picked it up out of necessity more than anything else. Bought a 16gb ram stick for $45 so was $500 all in. The Good: After using it for a few months I have been pleasantly surprised with the bang for your buck this device offers. I travel a decent amount and like to have something I can play games with after work and this device does an admirable job at that. For work, battery life is about 4ish hours for productivity which is generally enough more me and better than my legion. No problem driving two external monitors and more than enough power for productivity tasks. In terms of gaming has been perfectly fine for the games I like to play: frost punk, stellaris, hell divers (on lower settings). Since you will definitely be putting additional ram in this, the back panel is easily accessible and ram and storage can be accessed with little effort. Pretty light for a 16 inch gaming laptop and excellent cooling. The Bad: The screen is not the greatest, has some bloom and could be brighter. 8gb is not enough ram, luckily ram is cheap and the install is easy. No thunderbolt is a bit of a hassle if you want to use this as a work machine. This most unforgivable sin is no usb C charging which should be standard at this point. It only takes HP chargers and is finicky about accepting 3rd party ones. Left my charger at home once during a conference and this became a major headache. Overall: The value on this machine is incredible when its $450 or lower. It's not going to run everything on highest settings or have the most beautiful screen. but at that price you won't find a better budget gaming laptop, let alone a laptop generally. I could really see this being a great first laptop for a kid or a budget solution for a student who also wants to game some. If you only have $500 to spend you can't really do better.

I’ve been using the HP Victus 15.6" Gaming Laptop for a little while now, and I’m really impressed with its performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS chip and 8GB of DDR5 RAM handle gaming and everyday tasks with ease, making it perfect for both work and play. The AMD Radeon RX 6550M graphics deliver smooth visuals for most games, and the 512GB SSD means everything loads quickly without feeling sluggish. The Full HD display looks sharp, and I love the sleek Mica Silver finish—it gives the laptop a stylish, modern vibe. Overall, it’s been a great choice for me, balancing both power and design at a reasonable price.

Good laptop for the price. Although the battery drains pretty quickly it is overall a good laptop. It is fast and snappy, great for gaming.

This gaming laptop is phenomenal for mid-high-tier gaming (1080p 144hz) as well as rendering, editing, and other multi-task processes due to the graphics card (being comparable to the 1660 TI), at such a budget-friendly price. During the sale, it is almost half off. ☺ DDR5 Memory ☺ 144 Hz ☺ Bright back-lit keys ☺ Good speakers ☺ A lot of ports (Ethernet, HDMI, USB-C, 3.5mm, etc.) ☹ 8GB Memory (Fast, yet not enough) ☹ 512GB Storage (Not enough for gaming or rendering)

I got this when it was on sale for a really good price which made it a very easy choice for me to buy. The laptop is excellent for basic gaming. Its quiet and I do tend to use a laptop cooling pad for it which helps keep the internal components cooler and fans running a little less. Before I started using the cooling pad, i did feel quite a bit of heat coming from it and the fans were definitely putting in some work to try and keep it cool. The games I play mainly are WoW and OSRS.

I’ve had this for a few weeks, I got it for my school needs as well as gaming, it runs amazing when it comes to my regular school needs, when it comes to games it also runs great but the bigger the game the faster the battery drains. I can watch 2 hour movies and still have good battery percentage but when running a higher graphic and item heavy games the battery will last me about 45 minutes before it asks me to plug it in. Is relatively quite but when the fans kick in the can be loud but it cools down quick so it’s a give and take. It’s definitely worth the money, especially if you are just getting into gaming computers

Right out of the box, it's a sleek and well-built machine. The plastic shell can be a little creaky at times when picking it up. The 512GB SSD provides snappy boot times and quick application loading. While it comes with 8GB of memory, I took the liberty of upgrading mine to 32GB, and the process was straightforward. With the upgraded RAM, this laptop truly shines for my needs. It handles light gaming like Minecraft and Lord of the Rings Online with ease, delivering smooth framerates and a very enjoyable experience. For the price point, its gaming performance is more than decent, making it a fantastic option for casual gamers or those on a budget. My only minor quibble is the battery life when unplugged; it's not the longest-lasting. However, this isn't a significant issue for me as I primarily use it plugged in for gaming and productivity. Overall, the HP Victus 15.6" offers incredible value. It's a powerful and capable machine that has met my expectations for everyday use and light gaming. Highly recommend it!

Durable, Fast, portable and simply be a beast of a gaming machine is great for its price. can do everything I've been doing on my desktop but faster, snappier, and with better graphics

very good laptop i had to upgrade the ram to 32 but after that it worked well and wasnt that annoying to work with i also recommend getting extra space too

If you've been thinking of getting a decent gaming laptop get this when it's on sale. Great laptop for the price when on sale. Can get a little loud when put under stress but not a deal breaker. I've been very pleased with it. If you have a monitor at home it helps with the display.
