    Pretty good for gaming mostly everything with high configurations and a decent performance. The only issue ive found using this for a few months is the battery life. Overall, a great gaming laptop for its price.

    Best laptop I’ve owned and it works really well for gaming. I wish I would’ve bought the 60 cell battery type because the only drawback is this models battery drains quicker because I believe it’s the 40cell. I could be wrong I prefer HP and this was worth its price.

    I really like this laptop! It feels really solid and I got the one with the better specs which all really work with my games. I play games like Stardew Valley, Planet Zoo, Raft, etc. and all of them look beautiful and it manages them really well. I was a little nervous that the screen would feel flimsy but once I got it I was surprised how wrong I was. It was easy enough to setup and the only thing I will say is that if you have headphones with aux input it can be really tricky taking it out since it snaps in really tight.

    I am honestly reall disappointed in my laptop. I paid over $1000 and the computer touchpad doesnt work right. The left side of the mouse pad sticks and it makes gaming VERY hard. I have to go get a mouse. Also my cable doesnt stay plugged into itself. I got a laptop for the portability and professional look of it and now I have a cable that l had to tape up and need a mouse. Definitely NOT happy. The graphics are great and the speed is great and it definitely fits my gaming and recording needs so everthing on that end is great. The battery doesnt last long at all I would say it lasts about an hour but no longer then 2 hrs.

    Impressive: HP Victus 15.6” Gaming Laptop Review (

    |
    |
    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The HP Victus 15.6” Gaming Laptop is a solid mid-range gaming machine that delivers strong performance for its price. With an Intel Core i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, it’s well-equipped for 1080p gaming, creative workloads, and general productivity. Performance The Intel Core i7 ensures smooth multitasking, and the RTX 4050 offers respectable performance for modern games at high settings. I play Dead by Daylight while running OBS Studio and Discord at the highest quality settings, and this laptop pulls it all off with zero lag and room for comfort—no FPS loss or overloads. The dual-fan cooling system keeps things under control, though the fans can get noisy under heavy loads. That said, the thermals are a beast, effectively preventing overheating and maintaining peak performance. Build & Design The Performance Blue colorway gives it a sleek, modern look that stands out without being overly flashy. The build quality is decent for a budget-friendly gaming laptop, but the chassis is mostly plastic, so don’t expect a premium feel. Display & Audio The 15.6” Full HD 144Hz screen is responsive and smooth, making fast-paced gaming enjoyable. However, color accuracy and brightness aren’t as high-end as more expensive models, so content creators who rely on precise color work might want to look elsewhere. The speakers are decent but lack bass, so a good headset is recommended for an immersive experience. Storage & Expandability With 512GB of SSD storage, you get fast load times, but depending on your game library, you might need to expand storage via an external SSD or replace the internal drive. Some models may allow additional internal expansion. Battery Life Like most gaming laptops, battery life isn’t its strongest suit. Expect around 4-5 hours of casual use and significantly less when gaming. Keeping the charger nearby is essential for extended sessions. Verdict For gamers looking for an affordable yet capable machine, the HP Victus 15.6” with an i7 and RTX 4050 is a great option. It provides good gaming performance, a fast refresh rate, and a sleek design without breaking the bank. It also handles heavy multitasking effortlessly, making it a solid choice for streamers or content creators on a budget. However, those needing a premium build, better battery life, or more storage might want to explore higher-end alternatives. Pros: ✔️ Strong gaming performance for 1080p ✔️ 144Hz display for smooth gameplay ✔️ Handles streaming, recording, and gaming with ease ✔️ Fast SSD and solid RAM for multitasking ✔️ Excellent cooling system Cons: ❌ Build quality is mostly plastic ❌ Fans can get loud under load ❌ Battery life is average for a gaming laptop ❌ Limited storage space for larger game libraries Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.5/5) – A great value for mid-range gaming and streaming, with minor trade-offs.

    A pretty solid laptop if you're either gaming or working. I bought this for college and I've got to say this might be the snappiest laptop I've used since the Macbooks. I could do work really fast without worrying about any deadlines. Gaming is also a breeze on it, the RTX 4050 helps with that a lot. 16 GBs of DDR4 RAM might sound a bit too low, but no it's pretty crazy. Battery is ok as long as you don't game. If you go to a few lectures in the morning, you're good to go. In conclusion, this is a great laptop for people on a budget who want to game and work. This works as a great gift to teens and college students alike, especially when on sale. I give this a 5/5 rating.

    Great laptop for gamers that need strong performance on the go, or creators that need to run intensive programs. Lots of storage, plenty of ram, great screen. If you are gaming on the go, you may get between 3-4 hours based on the game and extra programs running. General browsing I see up to 8 hours typically. I haven't noticed it getting extremely hot and the fans aren't too loud. Definitely recommend.

    The HP Victus is a solid choice for gamers and Windows users, offering great performance with its fast processor and smooth graphics. It handles gaming and multitasking well, making it a good option for those who need a powerful machine. Though Battery life could be better and the display is dark even with full brightness. if you're more accustomed to using a Mac, the Windows experience may not feel as seamless or user-friendly. Overall, it's a great computer for the price if you're comfortable with the Windows platform.

    I am so impressed with this thing. It punches well above its weight class, and handles most types of gaming quite well. I haven’t really experienced any slowdowns, and I’ve been able to play both high end graphic games(Cyberpunk 2077) and heavily modded/maybe not wonderfully compiled games(200+ mod Rimworld). It multi tasks well, and I run a monitor and TV from it with the lid open for a three display setup. I only wish it didn’t come with McAfee preloaded.

    For anyone diving into gaming without wanting to empty their wallet, this laptop is the perfect entry point. Despite its budget-friendly price tag, it delivers powerhouse performance, effortlessly running all your favorite games. Sure, the battery life isn't marathon-worthy, but when you're plugged in, you're in for an unstoppable gaming experience. And with its lightning-fast 144Hz refresh rate, you'll wonder why you didn't make the leap sooner. Don't compromise on performance – grab this affordable gaming beast when it goes on sale again.
