HP Victus 15.6" Gaming Laptop PC, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, Refined 1080p IPS Display, Compact Design, All-in-One Keyboard with Enlarged Touchpad, HD Webcam (15-fb0028nr, 2022)

So my mother got me this for Christmas and I love it. The HD screen means nothing is pixelated. The RTX 3050 Ti means that in compatible games, I can get realistic lighting, some of the games are Minecraft, Battlefield 2042, Apex legends and a large amount of others. The 16 Gbs of ram is a major factor, I can run the Xbox app, RTX Minecraft, and YouTube and still have 8Gbs of ram left. The CPU loads stuff super quick so I don't have to wait to do what I want to . The Omen app, which comes pre-installed, tells you the current temperature of your CPU, GPU and how much ram is left and what's using it up. If your GPU (80C+) or CPU (90C+) is overheating, you can manually go to the Omen app and put your fans at maximum power. The memory is lacking a little in my opinion, but an SD card or hard drive is an easy fix to that. Overall, this is a great computer for most games, however, if you or your child play AAA games with ultra high graphics, try a computer with an RTX 3060Ti or higher, a better CPU, and maybe more ram. And while there are certainly better graphics cards, prosscessing chips and memory, this should do most casual gamers just fine.

While I did get this during the black Friday Sale for $700, it's normal price of $1,100 is a very good price. For everything that's in here you would expect to pay more. This is a very powerful high mid end laptop with great battery life, gaming performance, and RAM. The only problem I have is the built in max brightness. While for other it may be bright, to me it was quite dark. 9.5/10.

Amazing gamers laptop

So this is actually my first gaming laptop. I bought it over 2022 black Friday period.Things I like:Looks and feels like a premium laptop. It has some style to it. Love the victus logo on the top.Has a backlit keyboard you can turn on and off at anytime. I love the feel of the keys and they are responsive and have the right elevation for my liking.It has a Ryzen 7 5800H processor, 16gb ram and a 3050ti.Speakers are decent, providing adequate sound.Looks like it has 2 cooling fans.Nice sizeable trackpad.I would say that I do light to medium gaming( smaller titles and then so AAA ones such as Arkham knight). This laptop can run them, given you have to tone down some settings of course.It has enough ports.Things I don't like:Screen brightness. The brightness doesn't bother me much but it would have been nice if it was brighter.It has this whining sound at times, I don't know if that's from the fans or if it's coil whine from some other component.The fans sometimes would just kick into gear when not under load. This doesn't happen often mind you, but you'll notice it when it does.It's a little difficult to get in and out my USB sticks in the ports. I have to push and pull harder than usual to get them it and out. It's like it's a really tight fit. It was a first for me on either a laptop or a desktop. I don't know why these are like this on this laptop.**Something strange happened once.***. I powered her up and it didn't booth up to was blank screen and showed at the bottom that it was doing repairs or something to the hard drive. I got nervous I didnt know of any reason why it needed to do this. I always shutdown it down properly, don't go on any strange websites, only installed a few games from my steam and epic accounts and the laptop was only about 2 weeks old. It hasn't happened again, but as I said I didn't see any reason why it would do that. So I do t know if some windows 11 update cause it to do that or not.Final thoughts. If you aren't a heavy gamer and don't want to break the bank then this is a good laptop to get. Especially if it's on sale. I got it for $699US.I've had one HP laptop years ago and was hesitant to get another one as my last laptop was an Asus and I had that one for 10 years. But so far so good I will update this review if needed.

Picked this up for my wife for Christmas last year. It’s holding up wonderfully. I’ve owned a lot of laptops, my main currently is an Alienware, but this laptop has the best keyboard of any I’ve ever owned. It does what you’d expect it to do for the specs. If you need one, and enjoy a good keyboard, this is the one.

I've been a gamer for years and recently wanted to get into design and game development without breaking the bank. This laptop stood out because of its specs, especially the CPU, which I immediately purchased. The refresh rate is amazing and even changes the experience of browsing the web as everything is more "snappy". Battery life is good and the noise level while gaming wasn't too bad. Of course, with it being a gaming laptop, it can handle any workload that a student may need as a given. Definitely purchase!

We purchased 4 or 5 of these for office use. November/December 2022. The first one has an issue with the screen going blank, mouse locks up, system shuts down. We spent hours on the customer service phone line while they had us determine it was not a software issue, but a faulty HP hardware issue.Sent the laptop to HP. Returned after two weeks with documentation from HP service the unit had been inspected, no parts replaced, cleaned (wasn't dirty), and extensive testing had been done. Opened the laptop upon return and it was worse than before.Spent another series of hours on the phone with HP customer service and "troubleshooting" their BS.Curious if this is a lemon, or if we can expect this performance from them all.Sure hard to get good products these days. $949 a shot is pretty rough for a three month performance.We now have a moratorium on HP purchases and they can kiss our funds goodbye.WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT

With the power of the RTX 3050 Ti I could run ray tracing games with DLSS with zero issuesUPDATE: TURNS THE NON OEM BOX WITH THE COVER UP TAPE REVEALS "CERTIFIED REFURBISHED". I DO NOT MIND BUYING A REFURBUSHED PRODUCT BUT ADVERTISING IT AS NEW IS A BIT MISLEADING
