HP's Victus 16 is a surprisingly robust and powerful gaming laptop that keeps up with the latest games at a more affordable price. For the uninitiated, Victus is HP's line of gaming-focused laptops that have slightly less power than the Omen series, but are more budget-friendly. It offers a respectable amount of power at a relatively low price with four models ranging from $810 to $1,250.

The HP Victus 16 is undoubtedly a beefy machine with an understated aesthetic that might not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, looks aside, the Victus 16 performs like a champ and the device comes toting a gorgeous 144Hz display too. Now, I think the hinge mechanism should’ve offered better resistance, and the speakers could’ve been louder as well. Be that as it may, for the price, the Victus 16 is a good option for a budget of under Rs 1,25,000.

In the end, how much you like the Victus is going to depend on you prioritize the gaming and laptop aspects of your gaming laptop. If your emphasis is on gaming, the Victus can push out some impressive graphics for not too much money. In fact, I’d say the Victus really shines when used as a kind of budget gaming desktop. Though the design is stark, I think it’s a handsome gaming machine. And if you plug in a good keyboard and mouse it's not bad for getting things done, either, especially when hooked up to an external display for an impromptu two-monitor setup. Once I’d plugged in my mouse, keyboard, headphones, second monitor and ethernet cable though, it felt pretty silly calling this a laptop. Whenever I tried to use the Victus as an actual portable computer, some design misstep or missing feature made me long to plug it back into the half-dozen peripherals that made it fun to use. If you’re judging by pure performance, the Victus delivers a pretty good showing for its price.

HP's Victus 16 clearly offers substantial value as a budget gaming notebook. The AU$2,299 price tag is worth applauding, especially with supply-chain woes gnawing at profit margins and availability. However, HP clearly sacrificed some of the bling of rival notebooks to deliver a no-nonsense gaming PC for users who care about what's on the screen rather than under their fingers. Laptops that can do dual-duty for work and play are worth highlighting, too. To be fair, we'd probably award the Victus 16 an Editor's Choice award if not for the substantial contributions of the Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and Acer Predator Triton 500 SE, both of which deliver spectacular performance and a higher-resolution screen with better refresh rates. Yet both notebooks also cost a few hundreds of dollars more. If that matters, the Victus 16 is a more budget-friendly option. Of these notebooks we've tested, we think it's fair to day that we'd recommend the ROG Strix G15, the Triton 500SE, and the Victus 16.

The HP Victus 16 is a legitimate contender in the medium-priced gaming market. It’s well-equipped and performs admirably. Its chassis, although a bit too bendable, isn’t too large to carry around. HP struck a nice balance with the Victus 16. And now, the company has a genuine gaming brand sitting beneath the Omen lineup that should better entice gamers with less money to spend. The HP Victus 16 is a competent gaming performer for the price in a comfortable chassis.

72.5%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
