Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently upgraded to the HP Victus 15.6" Gaming Laptop and couldn't be happier with my decision! This laptop strikes the perfect balance between gaming power, performance, and design, making it an excellent choice for both gamers and everyday users alike.. From its fast processing capabilities to its sleek aesthetic, this machine offers a well-rounded experience for gaming enthusiasts and professionals alike. Powered by an Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of memory, the Victus handles a variety of tasks with ease. Whether I’m tackling productivity work or diving into more intensive gaming, it remains responsive and efficient. What truly sets it apart for gamers is the inclusion of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, which brings cutting-edge graphics to the table. I’ve tested this with graphically demanding titles like Call of Duty: Warzone and Cyberpunk 2077, and the frame rates have been smooth and consistent, even on high settings. This level of performance is a game-changer for anyone who needs both power and visual fidelity. The 144Hz Full HD display further enhances the gaming experience. It offers an ultra-smooth, fluid visual experience that minimizes motion blur and provides a competitive edge during fast-paced gaming. Coupled with the vibrant color accuracy and sharpness, this screen is a standout feature for both entertainment and work-related tasks. With a 512GB SSD, loading times are virtually nonexistent. Games, applications, and files load incredibly quickly, and system performance is noticeably faster compared to traditional hard drives. This also contributes to the laptop’s overall responsiveness, which is something I appreciate when juggling multiple tasks. As for the design, the Performance Blue finish strikes a perfect balance between modern flair and professional elegance. It’s not over-the-top, but still makes a bold statement. The laptop is well-built, lightweight for a 15.6-inch model, and easy to carry for on-the-go use. In conclusion, the HP Victus 15.6" Gaming Laptop is an exceptional choice for anyone looking for a versatile, high-performance device. Whether you're a gamer seeking seamless gameplay, a professional in need of a reliable workhorse, or someone who simply wants a stylish laptop that can do it all, this laptop ticks all the boxes. It’s a great blend of power, speed, and design that punches well above its weight. Highly recommended.

I would recommend to my friends because the price I bought this laptops no one can beats at this price. There are something you can upgrade later like extra 8 gb ram.

My daughter had been saving her money for a gaming computer and we had kept our eye on this computer. As it just so happened, we went to Best Buy on her birthday and the price had dropped significantly on this computer and she had acquired just enough money to make the purchase. Here is what we have noticed: -While this might be a plastic encasing, it does not feel cheap. -The trackpad works well with sensitivity and gestures. -The backlit keyboard is a white light only on this mode, but looks great and makes it very easy to locate the keys looked for. -The keyboard is very nice and tactile and easy to type on. I really find it to be a comfortable and easy experience. -The screen is not going to be the highest resolution or brightness, nor the most color accurate on this price, but unless you are very picky or gaming in daylight, this is plenty good enough for an enjoyable gaming experience. -The laptop, as with many gaming laptops, is on the heavier side and the off the charge battery life isn’t the best, but it can still be toted and used out and about. -The computer is very snappy; it turns on and wakes up quickly. Items, unless intensive, open very snappily (especially since upgrading the RAM, which I’ll mention later). -The fan does make some fan noise, which isn’t extreme, but it would be noticeable in a quieter classroom if this were a place you would find yourself using this. However, it does not heat up (therefore start up the fans) on us unless/until pushed with gaming. -The 512 hard drive is not the best, but it is plenty for now. The great thing is that this is upgradable if desired. -The 8 GB RAM is the biggest shortcoming for this laptop with its price points. We originally noticed games taking just a tad more time to load that maybe expected. Once in and running heavily, she would be kicked out of games due to RAM consumption. Thankfully, adding another 8 GB was very affordable and easy and has made all the difference - all games opening quickly and no games kicking her out. -Bluetooth attachments work well, seamlessly, and quickly. The items used most with this are Beats headphones, a gaming mouse, two different gaming controllers (BitDuo and XBox). Overall, this is a fast machine that is very capable as a work machine, video editor, and gaming machine. This works as desired. You will not receive premium sound (which headphones are used normally anyway) or picture (but is plenty good enough at this price point). You will find yourself needing to upgrade the RAM to get what you truly want out of this machine, but that is quick, affordable, and easily enough. All peripherals work without issue nor lag. The keyboard looks great with its backlighting and is a very nice, comfortable experience. This is definitely worth the price point when on sale (sub $500). I would not pay full retail for this, as I would opt for something lighter with better battery life at the near $900 mark, but at sub $500, this is a great computer no matter what you use it for and is super snappy. Again, I do certainly recommend, for this computer, to upgrade to at least 15 GB RAM with the second slab at least equaling the speed of the first slab.

After tweaking it a little bit without adding ram i got 300 fps looking up in a creative map. It has really good graohics if you optimize stuff like the nvidia control panel if you want even more fps i would recommend buying more ram. But right now i run about 120-160 fps in game with it capped l. I definitely recommend this laptop if you were looking to stream while playing your going to need to upgrade the ram first. Overall great laptop I see myself using this for a few years.

Amazing laptop! I can run most all games at max graphics and still get 80-120 fps, if not higher for some titles and older games. Works great for 3D modeling as well. Battery life off charging does suck though, at max load I’d probably get an hour or less off charger, but they make chargers for a reason! You’re probably gonna want to upgrade ram at some point also, but it’s easy so it’s not huge hassle! The top screen is a little flimsy so you’re gonna want to be careful with how you close/open it. Works amazing for Sea of thieves, Valheim, The Isle, Path of Titans, Minecraft (with shaders and endless mods, BeamNG, RDR2, Fortnite etc!

This is a great gaming laptop if you're looking for the following: - Considering the top-of-the-line gaming laptops are $1400+, this is a great budget option of midrange specs (especially if you can get this item on sale). - You are looking to play games that are older than a year, or do not require intensive graphics. I like the Star Wars universe and recent games run well on mid-high graphics settings. - You want to play a couple of game titles casually with your friends. Competitive... this depends what games you're looking at. Most of the popular online skirmish/battle royale games run fine. - You want to ensure having access to games that require Nvidia Geforce graphics. I bought an Intel graphics-based computer in the past and it became an issue when it turns out D4 would not run at all. Granted, that computer was not intended for gaming. - You want a laptop with acceptable, business-professional aesthetics. Many other gaming laptop designs are not something to bring into the office if attempting to maintain a professional business image. This one has a sleek, clean look where only those who know the Victus line as a gaming laptop will know. Other than that, it will pass as a laptop with some power. This point only matters if your workplace has certain expectations of your professional appearance. If any of the above points apply to you, then this laptop checks out as a great option. Now, onto some things to be aware about: FAN NOISE: Graphic-intensive games will get the fan running loud. If you have headphones on, you naturally won't hear it. The fan sucks air from the bottom and blows it out the back. CPU TEMPERATURE: According to the OMEN Gaming Hub (preinstalled by HP), the CPU temperature peaked at 185 degrees Fahrenheit at 100%. For reference, this was while playing Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War (released 2020) with several graphic settings on high (not max/"ultra"). RAM: I upgraded my RAM to 32gb DDR4 3200 MHz. STORAGE: If you plan to play more than 5 recent titles, either upgrade your SSD, or uninstall the completed game and make space to install the next game. I manually upgraded my SSD to a Samsung 990 Pro, also purchased from Best Buy. Overall, my gaming sessions are about 1-2 hours each, and not daily. As such, this game is very suitable for midrange gaming needs and can handle some higher-intensive games.

This gaming laptop was replace a gaming desktop thatI wasn't using any more plus i was downsizing due to moving into a small place. It runs great with the simple games and mid tier games. I haven't tried the new higher end game just yet. I like the design and the color of it. Only thing I did when i bought it was upgrade the ram and storage. Beside that it works great.

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!

This laptop is decently smooth running out of the box. I went ahead and upgraded the ram and it runs a lot smoother. For the price it is well worth it in my opinion.

Great laptop for budget gamers. Works on most games. I managed to upgrade the RAM to 16GB. Not good for battery life though, recommended that you carry the power cable with you at all times.

It's a pretty decent laptop though i would recommend you purchase an extra 8gb stick of ram for a fps boost and a larger ssd. You can expect fps of 180(Constant) on fortnite,110-130(constant)Warzone, 180(Constant) r6, but that is if you optimize the laptop and not just use it straight out the box

Bought this bad boy, because my laptop of 6 years bit the dust. Why is it that they are charging double the price for double the ram. I bought the 8gb at $479 and then separately bought 32 gb ram cards. It is still $500 cheaper. It is easy to upgrade also. Unscrew the back, pop off the cover, and install the ram. Very happy with my purchase.

Got this for my son since he is a PC gamer.. He seems to like it very well. As soon as we picked it up I installed more memory and it seems to do the trick I haven't heard him complain. He said that it was a necessity to help him cope with his mental health issues.

The specs are solid, although I will be upgrading the RAM soon, which is an easy and inexpensive upgrade to do yourself. The track pad feels wobbly, especially in the corners where you tap for the left and right click. The model at the store that I tried out had a less wobbly track pad, so maybe my particular pc has a problem. Regardless, I use an external mouse so it’s not a big deal to me. I got it on sale so I am happy with the price, although I would not have paid full original price for it.

Excellent entry level gaming laptop. Pop in some extra RAM and enjoy

Bought this as a travel gaming computer to play elder scrolls online. Works like a top. I did add 16 gb of ram. Not sure how it works for other things but for ESO it perfect.

Got this on a really good sale price and was definitely worth the money. I do recommend immediately adding more RAM and possibly storage based on your needs, but other than that it's a great computer.

Gets the job done, satisfied. Studying, Hulu. Upgrade the ram to 32GB big difference. Can game on it, but the price is right.

Great laptop only problem for me is the low amount of ram but it was ok being able to pick what i wanted for the upgrade. I put it in myself 32 gigs works fine.

Good pc to start with, you just need to add RAM and you will have a very good PC
