HP Victus 15.6 inch Laptop, FHD 144Hz Display, Intel Core i5-12450H, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 GPU (4 GB Dedicated), Windows 11 Home, 15-fa1029nr (2024)

Laptop quality I personally believe that its very well. The functionality is super good. I have had it for a couple months now and I can definitely say that it was worth the purchase. I am in college and it works perfectly for that too. On my free time I will play games here and there and the games are very seamless. I personally play a lot of Sims 4 and it also works pretty well. Battery quality is something that is a little iffy for me because I noticed that when a game is being played battery life tends to drain even quicker. But with other things battery life takes longer to run out. Overall, I am very satisfied with this laptop.

I’ve been using this laptop for a month now. As someone who has only ever gotten hand me down laptops that were slow as dirt this laptop at its discounted price was a god send. Nowhere near an Alienware or something like that, but if you don’t mind lowering graphics to have a mostly smooth experience with the occasional stutter or frame drop it’ll do you just fine. A great starting computer. I also use it for coding and it does just fine. A good piece of tech that with some internal upgrades can be a great piece of tech. Also, the keyboard lights up, so that’s a plus!

Ok so I bought this for one thing only, and that was to play The Sims 4. Thats it. I play with alot of mods and CC, have over 6,000 downloads in my mods folder, almost every DLC, and my game loads up into live mode within 5 mins or less, and i have storage leftover for more downloads! Graphics are set to ultra in sims, which is the highest capability in settings, no lagginess or glitching ever, if so its very rear.Downside: volume. Comparing to my Mac Book Air 2019 where i previously played the sims on, this PC has low volume in general, even on 100. Its just not that loud in my opinion. Downside: the battery life but in all fairness i do have alot of downloads. Please be advised when the battery hits 10% you literally have two minutes to charge it or it will shut down immediately mid. Usually with my MacBook 10% battery life would at least last me about 10 to 15 minutes before it dies. Downside: The fan blows hot air while game is running, feels like it may be overheating but nothing too concerning in my opinion. The charger itself, i actually almost burned myself with it because it was so hot. I do use an extension cord to plug it in so im unsure if theres a difference when plugging directly into an outlet, but this is a safety hazard. Overall i would recommend as far as storage and game quality, the downsides aren’t deal breakers in my opinion. But after playing the sims on Mac for 7 years, i’d say this PC is a major upgrade.

I loveeee this laptop. It’s big and durable. The battery life is long. Zero issue here.

Really good loptop I would go with it just to say it Is fast my son loves it he never complains he like a person that works on Tech he has no issues with it

Have had this laptop for a while now and it works great, obviously at this budget you're not getting top tier performance, but it runs everything smoothly. Only thing I had to do was upgrade the ram to 2 8gb ddr4, but it was super simple and did not have any issues only cost me 20$ for that upgrade too.

I haven’t downloaded any games yet, but the speed is very decent. Booting up from off took maybe 15 seconds. A nice big screen but the laptop itself isn’t ridiculously heavy. The sound quality is great too. Honestly it’s perfect for the price. Cat for size scale lol. UPDATE: I downloaded Baldurs Gate 3, and it works perfectly without lowering the graphics. For the price, it’s been a pleasant surprise of a laptop so far.

What happened to HP? This laptop was junk!
