Reviews for the HP Victus 15-fa1
HP Victus 15 review: A budget gaming laptop with a 144Hz display
Source: PC World
The HP Victus 15 has a good mid-range GPU and a fast (though slightly old) CPU. It’s not the best gaming PC by a longshot, but it will play most of today’s AAA games at medium settings and the 1080p screen is fast enough to satisfy fans of fast-paced shooters. However, you won’t get high-end features like HDR or G-Sync, and the display is on the dim side. You should not get the Victus 15 if productivity and work are on the agenda. While it’s capable enough right now, the 12th Gen Intel chip is already several years out of date and the selection of ports is lacking for 2024. The RTX 4050 is still shipping in plenty of laptops, but the Victus doesn’t have as much of a future as slightly more expensive gaming machines. Overall, the HP Victus 15 is a competent and reasonably priced computer for basic gaming. However, you shouldn’t buy it for the $1,100 MSRP. You can do better for that much, but the current sale price ($799 as of this writing) is a good deal.
