    It’s another one of those ‘not-so-portable and keep on your desk’ gaming laptops. If you don’t have a desktop at home and don’t want to buy one, then the Victus 16 can be a good laptop to plonk on your desk, keep it plugged in at all times and work and play all day long.

    The HP Victus 15 is excellent for use as a workstation. Its Intel 12th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA discrete GPUs can handle demanding tasks like video editing and 3D rendering. It loses some performance under load but doesn’t get hot or loud.

    If you’re not gaming or don’t require dedicated graphics I would avoid a gaming machine. Some very nice Lenovo, Asus laptops going recently with Ryzen 7 cpus for good prices.

    Have you consider a Macbook? For non gaming person I recommend them to get a Macbook, if you dislike MacOS or Apple itself

    An ASUS or any brand with OLED display QHD is the way to go

      Also, if Macbooks are too expensive. Get a Ryzen laptop with a 16:10 screen like on Macbooks, it’s such a gamechanger for productivity, bonus points if it’s OLED or high res ( 2880x1800 for example )

      Good luck ever repairing any Apple product, considering they use cryptographic authentication to reject any part that isn’t approved. Screen, Battery, etc…

    It’s overkill for casual use and school. That laptop’s hardware is power hungry so if you need a laptop with great battery life, this laptop is not it. It’s also very bulky relative to a slimmer laptop that’s 13" or 14".

    I hv the victus 15 with rtx 2050. Id say its performed great overall other than the battery life, which just totally sucks. Even doing words n browsing the internet is not going to give u much extra time. Idk if it’s the problem with all gaming laptops, but yeah, that’s my experience.

    I personally bought a Thinkpad (E14G2 AMD) from eBay for school and stuff. So far it’s serving me well, and I’ve even successfully used it for video editing

    The HP Victus is a great laptop however depending the model you’re getting, the screen may not be that color accurate. The gaming laptop aspects to it allows you to have a much more powerful CPU along with a dedicated GPU for some gaming on the side at high graphics (Medium graphics on some triple A games).

    As a fellow HP Victus user, it’s overall a pretty great laptop. I use it for my daily tasks and overall it does the job along with allowing me to game on the side. I highly recommend looking into AMD models though as they offer better battery life compare to Intel models.

    No. Because it’s built for gaming it will be bulky, heavy, noisy, and power hungry so mid battery life. Honestly just get a base m1 MacBook Air. Best value:performance machine by far if not gaming
