Just bought it on sale for 470$! It’s so nice. Definitely a great great option for new gamers or laptop connected to monitor gamers
Where
How many external monitors can you connect?
Same bro
@@DanielOceanGaming you can always use hub
Just got it for Black Friday hopeful I can optimize it to my liking
killing it with these tech reviews already I see, I like that you keep it real with actual on hand impressions
I try my best, that's all we can do, appreciate the good words
@@NoisyPixelNews is it ok to play games when charging
@@kerosto2441Yeah, I believe gaming laptops are made to be used plugged in.
I have a hp omen 15 from 2014. It still is a quick machine. The only thing that has gone wrong is the battery. Considering 8 years, that’s fair. This laptop is very similar and I expect it to be a great laptop as a desktop replacement and light gaming laptop.
i have HP Notebook 15 2015 model. 5th gen i3 processor. still work very well and handles daily tasks with ease. i changes the battery 2 times and added an extra 4gb ram.
Yep your right man.and actually these two pieces are on same category.this machine is just light weighted tycoon
I have all my Pc games I always wanted and this little guy has so much power that it runs all my games at a solid 144hz and I use it through my MSI monitor
How do u run all games in 144hz
Honestly, this is what we need. A true review, I'm really impressed of your job bringing us a lot of useful information about this model. You're cool 🤠🔥
Дякую за відео. Те що шукав, працювати та на перерві зіграти в KS Go👍🏼
Hey, great review! I got this same laptop but with 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, 144Hz; and it was for only $700.00 (plus $45.00 shipping) and it runs so well. My only issue with it it's the same here in this video, batteries life run out quickly. But overall, pretty good laptop so far!
great to hear that the video helped!
8/512 GTX 1630 Intel core i5 12450h bought for 700$ today 😂🤦♂️
@@mindless6444 hey im planning to buy the same model since i can't find the ryzen 3050 one
Is it good?
@@glutenfreecookiestastelikenoth yea this laptop is really good and worth this, but battery in gaming laptops Is quite weaker or dures less screen time that simple laptop
@@mindless6444 i bought it for 479 dollars, you could have wait 2 weeks for that
Just got this on Friday for $549 from Best Buy. I just needed something for college, but found it could actually game a little too.
Rn it's on sale for 479.00 dollars is that a deal or nah
@@claw3371 I just got it a couple hours ago and it’s real nice
@@claw3371 just bought it. 479 is a steal
Got mine today it’s teally fast for games playing on ultra settings. The best buy guy tried to upsale me on something else but nah 300$ off to get a gaming laptop at 510$ out the door im taking that
@@rookierider2096 where are yall from? i see it too but on sale for $799 dollars. Are yall talking about dollars?
Hallo, how are the speakers on this laptop? Im really on the verge on this getting this one, it looks too good
New Victus 15.6 models have Ram upgradability only up to 16gb as per HP website. Do you think 16gb upper limit is ok for a laptop for everyday stuff and video editing for youtube?
Thinking about picking this up for college, gonna be using mostly Adobe photoshop, blender, autodesk maya, and some light gaming here and there, so far looks like a great investment
I'm buying it this week for the same reason, college and some gaming. Have you had issues or problems with this laptop so far?
I'm glad I got this daring Laborday sale for 550$ USD. I'm just useing it for D&D stuff so I think what I got is ideal. But I did manage to upgrade the Ram and the SSD.
does it get hot on normal use like just browsin 5 tab open???
@@mollies13 I doubt that. I don't think it will. It can definitely handle far more stress. It has an i5 12450H processor and 8 gigs of RAM out of the box. It can definitely take like more than 20-25 open tabs on an average. Won't get hot with any of that.
Are the fans so loud you want to throw it, or are they acceptably loud?
@@drummer7557they are not that loud but luckily there is an awesome feature where you can open the omen app and set the fans on eco mode and it will be as quiet as a mouse
"Performance was smoother on an external display" - that's a very interesting point, and it's not related to the load on the power supply as you suggested. This is what the MUX switch is for, and I wonder if Victus 15 has it or not. The thing is that the internal display is routed through the integrated GPU, even when it's the discrete GPU that's rendering the image. This is a bottleneck that the MUX switch eliminates by directly connecting the screen to the Nvidia GPU. The HDMI port is also directly powered by the discrete GPU.
What external cooling fan could I use for the HP Victus 15 laptop? I noticed that there were only two openings for the pre-installed fans. The rest of the underside is a fake vent.
I commented 7 days ago but purchased this machine before watching this video and now that i got it i wanted to give my 2 cents and after listen to yours is yes the battery life is so bad lol Im coming off a M1 macbook air for this computer I get 4 hours just browsing without the charger but then it takes 1 hour to charges back to 100% but you always need a charger handy lol but you can play mw2 on low settings but I didnt play more then 30 mintues - 1 hour to kill time it wasnt to hot the fan does come on, the screen looks amazing even with brightness all the way down even on MW2 and yea i agree with you with the backlight it looks sexy when your in a dark ass room. im gentle while typing so the screen dont wobble but i agree with most of what you said 100% but i would have gotten 32 gb and 1 tb for $800 on amazon i dont mind carrying a charger but there expensive $75 and yes the track pad is decent but get a $12 wireless mouse great review man
Good video as always.
I am looking at the 2023 HP Victus for $900.
You should review it!
Or give me your opinion on it?
I am looking at it strictly for the PC release of Undisputed Boxing.
Would this music be good for basic music production with little to no plug ins?
Does his screen flicker (blurry) like old models? I looked at some reviews that reported this, but it seems to have been fixed.
My son has one and the Screen is IPS, so good angles, poor color gamut overall. Then again PC's aren't known for bright colored (accuracy) gaming. Sadly.
I see that’s a newer model i have and how about screen wobble?
Very good review👍
Ty!
Not a good battery then better to go for desktop... Why to use laptop without much battery backup?
Can you connect it to a monitor?
Is this laptop good for programming?
How do you upgrade it do you have to take it apart and put something else in
yes you would have to open it up and swap parts
at 5:15 did he say rg 45 network port or is it a rj 45 network port
i probably meant J lol
My Victus is the same yours and its battery is not good I expected. Can I plug in when I play computer game? Is not is bad for computer?
It’s not necessarily bad, but not great either lol. It’s just laptops being laptops
How would this do with college work? Just need it for a couple tabs and a backup gaming laptop when needed
Definitely should consider it, it’s also on sale at Best Buy right now
would this be ok to use for streaming my ps5 to twitch using obs with capture card ?
Might have some trouble honestly, might have to run low settings and go from there
hp does not showoff by adding extra design but inside its monster
Specifications!?
Just curious how would warzone do with this laptop im trying to work my way onto a full pc build and letting go of my consoles i wanna start with a laptop just to learn the basics of movement and things like that thanks
It can probably do warzone, but be prepared to have your whole hard drive consumed. Also, make sure you play with lowered settings or else you will have frame drop and unplayable lag. Also make sure the computer is plugged in when gaming high end games (AAA)
I have a question, does this only take lan cable? Can I connect it to my wifi without cables?
It def has WiFi or lan
Got it on sale for $350 after trading in my old Inspiron laptop, best deal ever
that does sound like a steal
Is it possible we can trade in old dell Inspiron laptop for that laptop?
@@aarongameryt1210 I think
why?
@@mollies13 why not?
As a designer, we don’t run laptops on just battery power. We don’t sit in Starbucks designing… laptops have to be plugged in, so your gripes with the battery draining while using adobe suite or solideorks etc are irrelevant
Why plug in a laptop and go through the extra trouble of more cords when you can just have a desktop though and make the battery irrelevant if you're just staying stationary? The only real reason to get this laptop is if you plan on plugging it into an external monitor and using a plug at home, but that's basically a desktop so doesn't make much sense.
Is it more enough for Video Rendering / Editing ?
Yes it be fine better then a cheap notebook
Does the location of the on/off button bother you?
it did at first but you get over it lol
AH. This is my first time buying a gaming laptop and I'm completely lost. Don't know what to choose between ASUS TUF 15 and this. My heart is leaning towards the Victus now, but I also really like the ASUS TUF and the fact that it has RGB 😆 but of course that backlit keyboard can't be the deciding factor. I just need something that can easily handle heavy games and open-world games, while also looking as crisp as possible. I've been using an old Macbook from 2011, so I'm used to that crystal clear display. So good display, as close to that Macbook, AND performance is what I'm looking for.
Same here. What did you buy in the end?
Bro I'm in the same situation as well
Probably a stupid question, I want a laptop able to handle programs used in Architecture school but also want to be able to play the sims 3 and 4 with all expansions on it, would this one be good enough? If not, any recommendations?
Did you get it ?
How would this work for a regular laptop with no gaming. Just word processing. surfing the web and email most of the time.
great deal for that, 144hz screen is just nice at $479 right now
Can it support multiple monitors via the USB-c port?
Shouldn’t be an issue with the right adapter
I just bought one 2 months ago its definitely great budget laptop I like it much nice design but got heated while playing wow over 95c that's the only issue I have with it but I switch to eco mode which keep it at 60c while gaming but low performance, if you are a gamer with this laptop switch to eco at gap 60 fps . Great video mate
how long is battery for office usage?
@@johnchristophermerced647 not long enough you can go on power saving mode for upto 3 hours tops
is it ok to play games when charging
@@kerosto2441 yea you can play while charging but without charging impossible
90 is pretty common for gaming laptops
is 92c temp is good??
Could this handle recording and occasionally streaming games like Minecraft and Valorant? And having multiple applications open at once i.e. discord and obs
can probably record while playing those games with diminished settings on both the game and software, probably wont be the best but you can get away with it, but it probably will struggle with streaming, especially with other programs open
At the same price and specs, I'm getting a desktop computer with Zotac GTX 1660 Super, but I don't have a 144 Hz monitor only 60 Hz. Shall I go with the desktop or laptop?
desktop 1660 super is WAY better than 1650 laptop
@@lilbigbob40 Thanks mate and I also found that the colors of Victus 15 aren't that great. And your suggestion for the graphics card even made me more pivot toward a desktop.
I know it sound random but I have this model and I tried any way possible in my field but I am stuck on either 40 hz or 60 hz and this laptop can handle 144hz idk what’s wrong can’t find that number anywhere in settings, ( even tried bios but can’t enable advanced mode )
Have you tried using NVIDIA control panel?
@@NoisyPixelNews yes sir and it’s only showing 3D settings not display
I have a hp victus I notice for a 2022 laptop it dnt have hdr support or it's not trun on and if it does have hdr support how do I trun it on because I play cyber punk with out hdr this laptop is very lacking and can you recommen a laptop witch meets the victus price and power
it does have hdr but if you want to change color space, you would have to go into windows settings
@@NoisyPixelNews that's kinda werd that it dnt just have a option to trun on hdr I even noticed samething with more powerful hp omen
Im playing on buyng this as my 1st gaming laptop i hope i get it
My Victus has 52.5 battery. How will this battery serve me ? If I change the battery from 52.5 to 70 , will it be better.
I don't think ull will be able to upgrade to a bigger battery capacity
Does it work if I download visual studios 2022 ? Or is it not compatible?
Don’t see why it wouldn’t work but I’ve never used it
yes and easily due to intel core i5 12450h
do yours coil whining a lot? mine is very very noisy and decided to return and to buy another brand
The laptop was decently loud for sure
Agreed I'd rather they make a CHROMEBOOK you could game on, and just put several tiny fans lol. It would be way more silent. That's why I don't game on laptops. Just my Desktop, PS5 and Series X. You don't realize how much you miss that silence until you do laptop gaming. Sadly ;o(
You can just get the Asus A15 laptop for just $899.99 on sale best buy, Yes I have one and wow for just doing normal casual youtubing with 10 tab opens thats it, The fan is Super silent and yet cool to the touch!
Like my old Lenovo yoga 3 14 inch notebook I5, that laptop gets warmer even though im just doing youtubing watching and jeez the fan gets loud.
Does it lag for anyone else while scrolling?
I just need this laptop to run terraria, Minecraft and roblox pretty smooth (at least 60fps), and be able to run autocad good enough for my classes. My current computer runs Minecraft at 15 frames per second.
this can do it
So this doesn't do 4k out to a tv? Looking to get into pc gaming & eventually let go of my xbox series x but I love 4k on my lg cx oled tv.
I would not expect this to perform at 4k too well to be honest. I would he suspet
It only goes to 1080p, full hd
@@st3ve874 even outputting to my tv? I know the laptop screen only does 1080p but was wondering if im hooked to 4k oled tv
@@PlanetGamz I would think not since the graphics are originally coming from the graphics card which can't create 4k in the first place. If that were the case everybody would just have integrated graphics and 4k tvs right?
I really am looking at this laptop to play only beamng drive on it, and I’m hoping that it can handle that big game for playing with the monster jam trucks mod
Can we expanded the storage?
No
Can it run Minecraft on medium or high settings? Or just the lowest?
Easily run it on any settings
15:00
"i found the laptop to run best when plugged in" that's because of the power plan
Comparing to Geforce GTX 1650 and AMD Radeon RX 6500M, which one is better in gaming performance?
i got 1650 gpu so i could use oculus quest on it. It woundt work on my MSI sword15 3050 ti
Its Just same
I have to say everything is fine and well working except for the batteries life
Does it have Microsoft Window 11 ?
Boots with windows 11
1650 is just fine. It's great actually. If it sucked they wouldn't still be pushing it in 2022. It's way better than just integrated video graphics. At $479 black friday price; it's a mid level gaming laptop at a better than entry level price. You can always spend more....but it's not needed.
This a great laptop for a 14 y/o in 2022 at the very least.
Only thing I wonder is if they cheaped out on the motherboard?
It was a decent laptop for many reasons for sure
I know this is random but how does this computer do for music production?
I’m sure it can get away with it granted the file doesn’t get massive with plugins and effects
@@NoisyPixelNewsdoes this laptop have a smooth moving cursor?
Extra cooling pad is needed?
Won't make much difference honestly, just a few degrees. Gaming Laptops just don't have good cooling, no matter what type of thermals they use.
Who has this laptop? is it good for 3d modelling?
Can I add ram to it with a spare stick I have from an old laptop?
Yes, you can add up to 64 gb ram. In command prod just type wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity. It will display max Ram capacity of your system.
its better you don't add ram from an old laptop. old laptop ram generally have low ram speed. make sure the ram mhz matches with the one preinstalled in the laptop
Sounds like a terrible idea. You'll have Windows crashing on you before anything worse than that occurs. Check for compatibility before you do so and if possible, just get a new stick instead.
Update* I added the ram from my old laptop and it’s been working fine (that older laptop had two sticks in it, the one I swapped to my new one was a stick I bought around two years ago to add to it’s already 8gbs)
Has to be DDR4, 3200 mhz at least. Won't really change framerates much though. Slightly.
What about screen wobble?
#wobblyscreen
Seriously considering one of these lower end victus laptops. I can buy one at Argos, locally, for £560 but it only has a 256gb drive and i wonder if i could live with that? Otherwise it's the same laptop. I probably, realistically could live with it. I imagine i'd have maybe a couple of larger games (50-80gb) and some smaller ones which i often play which are often just between 2 to 6 gb. I don't really store much else and generally just have a few movies to watch so i think how big a hard drive do i really need?
The laptop i have now was given to me ... a lenovo ideapad 3, 1.8 ghz Celeron, integrated intel UHD graphics (surprisingly good!) and a tiny teeny 128gb SSD and 4gb of ram. I love it but it just ain't powerful enough but i'm easily playing X2 -The Threat, Baldur's gate 2 enhanced edition, diablo 2, GTA San Andreas and of course 'Pharoah and Cleopatra' ... which has always played on practically anything. You mentioned 'Hearthstone' - I was trying to remember the name of that game and install it, so thanks 👍 I think Rimworld or Terraria might be stretching it a bit with just 4gb of ram. Could probably play Terraria on lower settings.
Anyway so i'm trying to think realistically, what do i actually need from a gaming laptop for the games that i actually like to play and it's rare that i play AAA titles anyway and would something like a Victus with an i5 or ryzen 5 and 8gb ram actually be just right. I have £1000 to spend but really i'd quite like to buy an acoustic guitar also. Just trying to get the best bang for my buck and not buy a more powerful (and more expensive) laptop that i might not actually utilise fully.
Great review by the way it really helped me think about this as a purchase.
I got one for £699 with 16gb ram and a 12450 cpu. Not a bad deal
@@beastatkhd6293 Yeah that''s not bad and that's a decent cpu.
I ended up getting a Asus Vivobook for about £850. It haz a nice Ryzen 7 cpu, with integrated Vega 7 graphics, 16gb Ram. It's a bit more than i wanted to spend but i'm happy with it.
hi can i use this laptop for studying in uni or the battery is so bad that it drain fast ?
battery is okay but i would worry about lasting for hours without a charger
@@NoisyPixelNewscan it last for about 5 hours without a charger ?
Just ordered for $479.. Do you know if the graphics card is upgradable?
dont believe it is from what i remember
@@NoisyPixelNews ok cool, thanks for the reply!
Good review Model number please?
Just bought one for 899 32gb ram 3050 a i5 - 13420h 1tb ssd super sick
They are pretty good for the cost for sure
Brow scenerios are wild 11:38
Backlit keyboard & NVME extra slot is there?
Yes, it's in the video.
FN + F4 to activate backlit keyboard
Hey I was wondering, is this laptop really good for Sims 4 gaming with lots of mods and stuff installed? (Im mostly asking Sims players to answer this.)
Look, what i have discovered from a lot of victus reviews
If you want to play anything that is "demanding in battery" use it connected (if not you are seeing 1.5-2 hours in eco mode- i was playing wuthering waves for reference)
If not, actuvate the eco options and the thing will laat around 5 hours
They actually *DO* have a 16GB version and with a better graphics card at Best Buy right now for $849.99.
Ayo must have came out after the fact, thanks for the comment!
@@NoisyPixelNews and they have 32gb with 3050 rtx victus 16.1
@@aarongameryt1210 What type of RAM do you use?
we can upgrade the ram to 64 gb but 16 or 32 gb would be sufficient. We can even upgrade the storage by adding M.2. This is one of the best eco laptops for gamers and work. No gaming laptop can work without battery and same goes for this too. 1650 is good for casual gamers but not for hardcore gamers.
Ram is expandable up to 16 gigs only according to the specs on their website.
This is a good laptop for casual games, older titles, and even some from the Xbox One/PS4 era. Anything beyond that, perhaps. But it will burn it up fast, or you'll throw it because of the fan noise lol
Can you give an example of a casual game vs a hardcore game? Can it play Battlefield 2042?
@@drummer7557 Would budget laptop would you suggest for a hardcore gamer? I like that this one has the 2.1 HDMI port! It would pair well with my LG-C1 55'
Could I play games like the Witcher 3 and rdr2?
@Noisy Pixel Hi Bro
Please assist how can I get my pc to run fifa23 smoothly. Hp victus 15 Ryzen 5 AMD RX 6500M. If possible can I give access to my pc remotely.
Just downgrade settings and plug the computer In to the charger, see if you have better frames and less lag
Noisy Pixel downgrade in game settings to medium or something, not high or ultra
I tried most things including your suggestion. I tried changing AMD Radeon software settings the gameplay still lags. Maybe there's something I'm not doing right.
The way you lift the screen makes me anxious. Haha
it was supposed to lol
So this laptop canot be charged via USB C port????
No
@@NoisyPixelNews Do you know if the same is true for the hp victus 16 d0023dx?
Bestbuy has a Black Friday deal rn for $479 obviously copped one cheap af
That seems to be the word on the street
What's the RAM upgrade max
32gb of ram with 16gb sticks
@@NoisyPixelNewscan we upgrade this laptop ram for 64gb ram?
The temperature for CPU is 90 C, Is it common in most gaming laptop?
90 celsius is a bit hot for gaming. Should be like 70-80. The laptop could be running hot on you.
Is here someone who played Dota 2 on this laptop? Pls Share your experience with me 🙏🏻 how many was fps? And if it drops during heavy team fights?
I always leave my laptop plugged so the battery doesnt rlly matter
Is it good for light gaming? Like I only want to play valorant, forza 5,minecraft and sometimes AAA games
It’s definitely great for medium settings gaming with the charger plugged in. Has a bit of ram issues with forza but just keep the settings lower. I talk about that in the review
@@NoisyPixelNews if i upgrade the ram till 16 or 32 gb then will the game work with low/medium graphics?
Runs Val perfectly. I play apex on it on med-low settings. Cod really pushes it to the limit. It’d probably be best to get an extra stick of ram to have 16. It’s probably what I’m about to do.
Gaming laptops imo are best for those old 360/Xbox One games you really want to get HIGH framerates out of. Use a new console or Desktop PC for newer AAA titles. That's just me. A lot of fun "old" games, 2007 until around hmm 2014 or so are great. And don't put to much load on the system overall. ;o)
@@drummer7557 yeah.. i play black ops2 on my victus(just got it 2 weeks ago), and frame rate is amazing i really enjoy it , and as for high graphical game such as apex framerate on medium graphics are good. what i can say is that it is a good budget gaming laptop for light and medium gaming.
There is one that I’m looking at it has a i7 13700H 13th gen with a 3050 6gb gddr6 for 750 I think it’s an amazing price I’m going from an ryzen 7 2700x to hopefully that^

being that all the performance is relying on the laptop being plugged in, I would say this laptop will slow down after 3-5 years. as most laptops do, so its just a prediction
