HP Victus

A low sticker price helps usher this budget 16-inch gaming laptop into a select circle of gaming notebooks worth buying.

The HP Victus 16 is an affordable and effective option for mainstream gaming. The graphics chip and processor both impress, the 16.1in display increases immersion, and the keyboard is reasonable. However, don’t expect lashings of pace, good screen quality or a particularly high refresh rate.

HP has done a good job squeezing a 16.1in display into a 15.6in laptop body and that gives the new Victus an edge in this highly competitive market sector. The Victus is also stylish, build quality is decent and the keyboard and sound system are all excellent.

Those who are looking for a powerful gaming laptop in the price range between 1000 and 1500 Euros (~$1172-1759) can pick this without almost any hesitation.

While most people would get these kinds of laptops primarily for Gaming, the Victus 16 can handle both audiovisual entertainment and creative content creation. The Victus 16 is an all-rounder and a must-have if you are in the market looking for a midrange gaming laptop with decent specs but without breaking the bank.
