Deal | RTX 4070-powered HP Victus 16 gaming laptop with Ryzen 7 8845HS and 144Hz gets biggest-ever $550 discount
The HP Victus 16 gaming laptop has hit its all-time low price at Best Buy, now available for $849.99 — a substantial drop from its $1,399 original price. With an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB SSD, this deal bundles impressive gaming performance at a pretty accessible price.
While this deal configuration features AMD's Ryzen 7 processor, we previously reviewed the Intel-powered variant of the HP Victus 16, which included an i7-14700HX CPU and an RTX 4060 GPU. We specifically commended its strong battery life, relatively quiet fans under load, and the ability to handle FHD gaming on high settings. However, the reviewed model did fall short in terms of color space coverage (62.5% sRGB) and lacked modern ports like Thunderbolt 4.
The current Best Buy deal shares similarities in core features like the 16.1-inch FHD IPS display with a 144Hz refresh rate, but users should be aware that the display's brightness and color gamut may not satisfy creative professionals. Additionally, the plastic chassis tends to feel a bit less premium compared to competitors. On the upside, the RAM and SSD are upgradable, which offers better longevity for budget-conscious gamers.
According to price-tracking data, the HP Victus 16 has consistently hovered around the $1,000 mark in the past months, with $849.99 now marking its lowest price in six months. For under $850, this HP Victus 16 configuration offers solid value, delivering strong gaming performance for mid-range gamers, though compromises like a dimmer display and the absence of Thunderbolt ports may deter some users.
