The wobble isn't a problem for us Jarrod but there are some who use their laptops while dancing so it's definitely a Big Problem for them.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this
@@cosmin_budda Thanks lol 🤣
Good point
Ah.. the contempt.
Some of us are not rich enough to have an AC at home and are not lucky enough to be born into a first world country with a cool climate.
Here it's hot af and we have our ceiling fans on full speed. Even my sturdy old timer Dell laptop wobbles slightly under the fan. So naturally one will be concerned about the wobble.
And then pricks like you show up with all that contempt
@@SF-li9kh Victus 16 owner from Thailand, hot country too, I have no problem with electric fan blowing at the laptop. Unless, you put the fan on max speed and place a few inches away from screen.
Bought the highest end Victus 2 months back, honestly I'm not at all disappointed. Performance wise it is up there with the best in that price category. Performs everywhere rendering, gaming, no problems. Screen wobble, although it is significant, isn't a problem for me even if I type when it's on my lap. The exhausts gets hot but the keyboard deck is comfortable to the touch. Heat is well controlled considering the fans ramp up and are very loud. 300nits 144Hz display, looks awesome, reduces the battery life to 8-9hrs, still pretty good. Didn't have much issues with my keyboard typing and trackpad is pretty good! No issues so far. Haven't yet experienced any software bug like that shown by Jarrod in the video.
@Rashid Ghansar Make sure you update Windows and any drivers to the latest, and check the power management options in the Control Panel. I've also faced this once initially, it was running a power intensive application in the background then, you can check using the Task Manager to observe any. If the problem still persists (it shouldn't), you could always reach out to HP for the warranty.
@@imrananees tf at ur setti nfc s
with the QHD display?
Does support GTA V
You're absolutely right! It only wobbles while moving and if you deliberately push it. No wobble whatsoever even while typing fast. And it's been 2 weeks using but I still haven't noticed the software bug, fingers crossed....
Update?
Update?
Jarrod : Like most things in life, it's far from perfect... Ouch
wobble -> weak hinges. I would take extra care when opening and closing this laptop to prevent catastrophic hinge blowouts.
Yeah another HP hater
@@cosmin_budda lmao
@@cosmin_budda it's shit, people need to know
As a Victus 16 owner, been using it for 2 weeks, not that weak, rather the mechanical the weight of the screen.
@@unclemooaoe Good to know the bar for good hinges is it lasts two weeks. Thanks.
Got it and used for 2 weeks. Battery does last long as expected for a large laptop. Performance is great. Cooling is surprisingly good. The down side are the hinges but its not an issue for me when gaming as long as you dont touch your screen it should not be a problem.
some gamer punch their screen after get streak loses, it could be a big problem for victus :D
It heavy to carry this daily to office?
@@verdian89 yes thats another issue. Its heavy but i think its managable just dont carry too much things in your bag and it should be alright.
hi how many hours of battery life do u get with it ? if we only do administratives tasks
@glr tbh with you my battery has been downgraded due to my poorly mismanagement and so when I do work on a full charge maximum would be 2 hours however if you are able to maintain that good battery health it will give you around 4-6 hours depends but I do recommend having it turned onto powersaving mode if you want it to last a little longer
I was interested in the victus but budget has kept me with bravo 15, I don't think wobble would affect me since my laptop always sit on the desk. Really want that all white looks
Are you referring to the 2020 Bravo 15 model? Just curious
@@leehongjin6884 I got the 2021, 2020 was more subtle but thermals seemed bad.
@@108_hariswirananda7
Yea MSI had a big scandal on the Bravo 15 involving a reviewer called TechTeamGB due to serious flaws in the design of the laptop.
@@108_hariswirananda7 what's the specs?? And price?
@@saitarun8074 bravo has 5600h and rx5500m, it costs about 899, but rtx3050 victus only costs 300 extra but I can't borrow any money
For the fan settings, please do turn off the auto profile settings through the controller icon in the Omen software.
I'm pretty sure the HP Omen 15 is only slightly more expensive than this Victus.
i have been using victus 16 for a couple of weeks now, if you complain about the screen wobble just stop it with your finger and its done
This laptop sold out everywhere in my country and they said they’re stop selling this laptop already. I dont know, maybe it’s just in my country. Because of that i bought another laptop which is lenovo ideapad pro 5. The price of victus and ideapad is almost the same but the ideapad got an even better specs. It’s even made in aluminum and not plastic finish like victus. So yeah a good deal for me
yeah they stopped selling it in my country too, i think something bad happened about it, guess i was lucky i didnt have any problems with it
I have the victus 3050ti and it has been pretty good so far. The CPU gets hot tho. A laptop cooler definitely helps or set temp limits with Ryzen controller.
My Victus rarely go above 80c during regular gaming session.
Is the 3050ti good enough?I'm not a heavy gamer. Planning to get Victus soon
@@aliffakrurrazi1629 3050 ti = 1660 ti if gpu memory is enough and a lot worse if it's not. Better buy 1660 ti.
A laptop that cant be used on ur lap, because it wobbles 😂.
Great reviews as always
Would love to own it, but the available stock here is really expensive with very good specifications. Too bad.
Btw guys, the lid does vibrate under ceiling fan, yes it will vary how fast your ceiling fan is but I have seen a lot of videos of it vibrating ubder ceiling fan. Also when u video call with this laptop under ceiling fans it becomes earthquake simulator. It is super funny tho.
I like being funny
I am having trouble figuring out if he uploaded this a second time or if this is just a duplicate recommendation from RUclips.
I've been using this laptop for a month now wobble doesn't bothers me at all
I agree with that omen gaming hub software issue
What about cooling? How hot it can get
@@mmer1687 I thought it had heating issues because both cpu and gpus were getting too hot
But no it was just a design flaw blocking the proper air flow
I user this laptop with little elevation for better ventilation Temps are cool now
Gpu doesn't even hit 71° most of the time
Cpu is 88 and 90 max In warzone
How’s it holding up a bit further down the line?
I'm happy to see Jarrod making some jokes now lol
Actually just ordered one! Its the same GPU but the core i7 11800h
i have to chose between this and the Acer Nitro 5 and tbh in the end i take the Acer Nitro 5
the wobble gonna be a big problem for me who use normal fan alot and the price too with it being a bit out of budget where i live
so in the end the Ryzen 7 5800h RTX 3060 Nitro 5 it is for me despite me liking the Victus design 1000 time more
yeah they need.to re-innovate the nitro 5's design. The gamery black and red is too meh. At least for me.
@@wutttt7661 my main problem is not the colour here but the shape and the 16:9 screen
Most of the HP laptops I handled could have been used to fry eggs
They cleverly power limited this to keep temps low
My HP is also a portable sun
somehow my laptop never seemed to overheat unless i run something the specs cant
Where do you get these metal band tshirts, they look really good Jarrod.
Will there be a lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 gen6 review anytime soon?
Not sure, waiting on Lelnovo
The white version is incredibly beautiful
How does it stack up against the helios 300 at $1300 with a 11800h + 3060?
Also, can you look at the msi gf65 thin? I really think you should call out msi on their dumbass blocked vents. Often times msi's gf65 thin is the only cheap 3060 laptop in some regions like asia. Maybe msi can drill some holes below the fans for more air intake.
i just LOVE the white color of it! i have 3 options, vectus, omen 16, and legion 5 pro😪
L5P
@@Tiralful how about Legion 5? non-pro
Legion or victus
The 5800h + rtx 3060 has the CPU running at 35w instead of default tdp of 45w for that processor....sure help maintain temperatures in control, but you ll end losing some FPS in the run...it's possible then 'fix' it to run the default 45 w or could harm all the cooling system and durability of hardware?
Hi, I am considering buying Lenovo Legion 5 (Ryzen 7 4800H and GTX 1650 +16 Gb Ram) for New Year, but today I saw this Victus 16 for the same price as Lenovo and it has 3050 and Ryzen 5600H. Personally I like Lenovo's design and built quality more than Victus and I am planning to use my laptop for the next 4 years at least. I don't know what laptop to consider buying since I want the 3050 but I love Lenov Legion 5 better (Plus the color gamet is better on the Legion). I don't know if 1650 is gonna be enough in the future so I want your advise. Thanks guys.
Just search for other laptops with 3050. 1650 is too old to use for a time of 4 years. There is a legion laptop with 3050ti or just consider some msi laptops or asus tuf dash laptops which are better than victus.
Hi , thanks for the video. Only a simple question : Can I Upgrade my new HP Victus 16 (Intel 11.800H /8GB RAM DDR4-3200 /3060GTX 6GB) with a couple of Corsair 16GB DDR4-2666 RAM Modules (Total 32GB) from my old DELL Alienware 15 R3? I really don't want to invest in more RAM, but I really need those 32 Gigs...
I don't think you should, you'll be losing so much performance. Also Linux did a video about installing RAMS with different clock speeds if that interests you
In my country we have the 100% SRGB panel on the 3050. But we don't have the 3060 version tho
I've done a review on my channel for our version as well
I will put on my tin-foil-hat but I suspect HP subcontracted the Victus production line to a contractor with pretty poor QA. The keyboard error is stupidly easy to detect on a proper manufacturing test. Similarly, that wobble should not be present in a 2021 laptop. The screen viewing angles are atrocious. Is that a TN-panel or something? My TN-panel Asus ROG has better viewing angles and TN-Panels are notoriously crap in terms viewing angles. I think HP was aiming for the bottom of the barrel for the Victus and I'm surprised that they didn't go for an AMD GPU in this model. That would drop the price further. A 3060 in such a shite chassis would be an embarrassment for me...
not only that but it's outrageously overpriced, at least here in the US. on newegg it's LITERALLY $1599 JUST for an RTX 3060 and a ryzen 7 5800H, and that's an atrocious price. you could get the legion 5 with a max-P RTX 3060 and a ryzen 7 5800H for only $1199 and it's much less than this victus even at FULL PRICE
The victus Jarrod has, has the lower spec screen(250 nits). You can choose on their website the 250, or 350 nits. The 350 might be way better
I just wish it had better colours, compared it to my friend's AOC 24G2 it's just bad.
24G2U is quite good if you use a 3rd party color profile like I do.
1:33 programmer's horror.
Hello. I plain to buy this laptop but on 3050.... I think that it's very good device.
Is there any problem with the razer blade 14 would appreciate it so much if u replied or made a video about it
Guys, Should I swap my Omen 16 (R7 and RTX3070) with Legion 5 Pro, the same spec but better screen and better gpu (140W) and I have to plus another $400.
If money is not a problem, yeah I'd go for it!
Legion 5 obv
I'm trying to decide between the HP Victus 16 or the Asus Zephyus G14. Should i fork out the extra cash for the Zephyrus or is this good enough to hold until GPU prices stabilize?
Wait for news at CES in 2 weeks, maybe some G14 changes coming :)
i almost bought it without seeing a review after seeing the woble despite its like a awesome laptop it literally a deal breaker for me. Everything is solid expcet for the screen wobble .
I had a bad experience with a cheap budget lenovo laptop that had screen wobble like this . It didnt even last long until it has screen issue etc.
your test comparisons are not against an equal spec nitro. Why you have updated vitus and old nitro?
Hey, is weird but mine does not wable that much. It´s the 16-d0xxx
Hi Jarrod, do you have an idea if it’s possible to upgrade the GPU in the future? I recently bought the i5-13500 RTX 3050 version as it is enough for the game I want to play even in Ultra Settings but I’m curious if it’s possible to upgrade it in a few years.
No, that is not possible with gaming laptops. The GPU is soldered to the motherboard, so unless you buy the motherboard+CPU+GPU somehow and the laptop happens to have the right cooling/power delivery.. Basically no
This or the Helios 11th gen (QHD 11800h metal build) price difference being around 200$
Big BUT as always, Still no near perfect gaming laptop is available, Lenovo Legion 7 could've been that but they can't fix a single simple and stupid battery drain Corsair RGB problem....
You can buy the 3070/3060 Legion 5Pro.
Also you can use a 3rd party keyboard control app instead of icue
Does the HP Omen also have the terrible screen wobble or only the Victus models
The worst thing about victus is HP won’t let you use advanced bios settings
That’s a no go for me
I want to know the full specs of my factory installed ram cause im buying another stick to make it dual channel what should I do?
Hey jarrod is the notebook version any good?
Please,
Hp Victus ryzen 7 5800h rtx3050 4gb
Or
Hp omen ryzen 7 4800h rtx2060 6gb

Thanks
Men, there is lenovo 7i rolled out long time ago. Please tell us about it
What do you think of the victus 15 3060?
Thank you
Jarrod my laptop broke down at work so what laptop would you recommend with a 1.5k budge ;___;
3:12 oke lets see what is good about the victus.
Video ends. Lmao
(Oke that happend in my head)
The 257 nits screen no mux switch
Max q gpu and screen wobble would be a no go for me.
Also the bad ram, it might be cheap but i am so glad you make these video's.
Just realized you had this channel aswell lol! Sub sub sub.
But it competes with the 2020 7i and some MSIs for the worst hinges and biggest risk of hinge fireworks in the laptop industry... Correct?😂
Please review the lenovo thinkbook 16p 🙏🏻
so is it the end of the world if i don't have a mux switch?
Thermals are horrible on lower end models especially the 3050 one
most of it about wobbles i guess and theres no major problems that make me want to buy other laptop
What laptop would you recommend under 1800 dollars
Asus rog g15 advantage edition rx 6800m. Basically, a 3080 gaming laptop
Legion 7 is an option but the battery life is meh
Need Gold Gaming Laptop with RTX 3090 Super!
Screen wobble means weak hinge... Its gonna break after 1 or 2years
Is it better than Dell G15?
Hi, if anybody can help; im torn between two laptops scar 15 qhd and g15 advantage. Looking for hybrid work and play laptop with decent battery like 6- 9 hours. Are these two choices please recommend any laptop that can offer this. Since g15 uses liquid metal on both gpu and cpu long term im worried that it wont last long since he runs high temps when under load.
Thanks for sort listening
G15 Advantage
Complaining about screen wobble is honestly a good example of first world problems
All gaming laptops run hot, and loud. Hence why I'll never buy one again, especially HP. Also HP are notorious for bad keys/and full keyboards. Even back in 2009 I had 2 laptops with keys, and the other the full keyboard just quit working. My advice, stick to gaming on Desktops, and Consoles. They will last many years longer, these, about 2--3 years tops. Or less.
i just lean the screen to the wall, problem solve
heyy jarrod, hoping u reply to this
i have a legion 5 (Ryzen 7 4800H, RTX 2060, 144Hz IPS panel)

A little duct tape can fix the wooble
Idk if anyone will find this, but I have the same laptop and there are crazy stutters. I could be playing a game at 1080p 80-100 fps on high, and out of nowhere the fos drops to 8-7, even on csgo, which is not so hard to run. I found out usig omen tool that the clock speed of the gpu and cpu drop down, while their usage goes up. Any help is useful. Ive already done a ddu, all cpu updates are done, etc. Temps are always under 60 C.
It's a Windows 10 and 11 glitch, updates, etc in the background. Especially Win11. Also these laptops just aren't made well, and they run far to hot and that causes stutter, and also if they are undervolted it will do this as well. That's why I don't game on PC anymore. Far to many glitches and other problems.
@@drummer7557 The thing is, my laptop is nowhere near overheating. It's sitting at 60 degrees celsius. I've used the omen program aswell to kill any background apps and it doesn't work.
My legion 5 (non-pro) 2021 with a RTX 3060 also has the same screen issue. No matter how much I calibrate the RGB settings, the whites always look yellow. I don't know what to do at this point, Lenovo doesn't seem to care ..... Even the Nahimic audio has made the speakers shit

None of the Ryzen software has been updated yet to work with the 5700U/H/G . I just got an HP Pavilion with a 5700U and not one piece of ryzen software has recognized the cpu or chipset. And yes, I have the latest chipset and radeon drivers and BIOS up to date. And there's no Advanced option in the BIOS, and I haven't found anyway to gain access to it, even with RUclips/Google, nothing nowhere about this issue.
Hi, I have a doubt... which one to choose between victus (i7- 11800 - Nvidia GeForce rtx3060 6gb, 16gb of ram and a 1tb ssd) and acer nitro 5 with the same specifications for photography and video editing? Do you think the wobbling of the display in the Victus is a big problem? Many thanks in advance. 😊
hi ! which one did u end up choosing?
If fidget spinner can be a hit, I don't see why wobbling screen can't be another. Buy if you want to be the first screen wobbler among your friends!
no more english subtitles?
Omen is where it's at.
I think the omen 15 is actually the better option IMO
my only catch with Omen is it's battery life though. it's not in the budget category anymore (Victus, MSI GF, asus TUF, Acer Nitro), sure its cheaper than other brand in same category (norm/mainstream tier) but battery in the lower side, might better to up the budget a little bit to get something like Legion 5, Strix 15 or Zephyrus G15
Why only lenovo laptops involved videos have 90k+?
Because they are great and popular.
Lenovo laptops are generally decent quality. I haven't owned any of their gaming laptops, but their ThinkPads and IdeaPads haven't let me down yet. Wish I could say the same for Asus.
