Reviews for the HP Victus 15-fa1000na
Source: Expert Reviews

The new Victus isn’t a bad laptop but neither does it stand out from the crowd, which is a shame given how good the original was. Given the sub-£1,000 price, a less-than-stellar display is no great surprise, but omitting a cheap connector block for a second SSD and specifying a low-TGP GPU is disappointing. Those are not choices made to hit a price point. They are choices made to make the Victus not as good as it could be. All of which is a shame, because the Victus looks the part, has a good keyboard and speakers, and the price is right for a machine with an RTX 4050 inside.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
