    I purchased a HP i7 Victus, even though the screen wobble is something that I expected better from HP. Having said that the laptop in general has so far worked well. I am also glad that you are a reviewer that can see positives in the HP Victus. Many reviewers are not as kind. It is a shame because in general it's a nice looking laptop and does what it is suppose to do. Thanks for your positive outlook.

      I also got the i7 12 gen model and i agree it met all my expectations. As a laptop gamer one of my worries were cooling and performance since i had bad experience with my previous laptop, but not only is this thing a beast and can play basically anything, it also has phenomenal cooling for a laptop. Like i was genuinely surprised by how cold it was even after hours of gaming. The fans do make a lot of noise but that's a trade off im willing to take for good cooling anyday

      I’ve been looking to buy the 4050 i7 HP Victus because my og HP omen (which is identical to the new victus) is starting to go and I’d really love to know from someone who actually has one whether it lives up to the expectations of the older omens. I’ve had several laptops bought and returned in the last year that are supposed to be the best in the market and none yet have held a candle to my little nearly 9 year old Omen. However, I hate the look of the new omens hence why I haven’t bought one. The victus I love the look of. Could you say whether the battery and cooling is any good as I’m willing to immediately buy one if you think it’s good. I’m in desperate need for a new laptop.

      Like I said in my previous post, the Victus looks and performs very well my only big issue is the wobbly screen. It is very fast, but I’m still using my old Toshiba Satallite. I haven’t yet transferred all my files to the new Victus, because my old Toshiba is still very reliable and easy to backup. I think the only real reason I purchased the Victus was for the speed usb-3 so I could play the more modern games.

You eased a lot of my anxieties about what to expect with this laptop. I actually liked how it looked and everything, I was just worried a little about what it was capable of. I'm a little sad that the screen is dim, but I think it should be fine. I needed a device for college and gaming that wasn't over $1,000, and I think I found it.

    The i5 is bought at Best buy. The top model is using a Ryzen 7 and a 3060 which is far better then the i5. The reason for the Ryazn 5 with the 1650 to be priced where it is at is because they go up in price based on the CPU and GPU you buy.

    I've had two HP Pavilion gaming laptops. The first one was fixed twice under warranty for pixel failure. This occurred a third time - out of warranty - and then the keyboard died. I gave up and bought another one because I was able to stack a few discounts together and it came in very cheap for the specs and thought I must have just been unlucky.
    This next one lasted all of 3 months before being back to the service centre for--pixel failure. I found HP's customer service to be torturous to deal with. I still quite like it. It looks nice, has a great keyboard and runs games very well. I don't honestly think it would survive many trips to clients' offices though, no matter how many ports it has Pretty much everything flexes if you squeeze it and the trackpad is now loose. I wonder how long that wobbly Victus screen will actually last.
    Sometimes, things being cheap comes with a cost. I will probably look at Asus next time as they seem to be pretty solid.

      Other than that, it runs perfectly! The fans really get loud on heavy graphics settings but it does pretty well at cooling itself off while you’re playing your games. As for the wobble, it can get annoying but I mean it’s really not a big issue. The laptop runs great, and the wobble doesn’t even hurt its performance. Just be a bit more careful with moving the screen constantly, and lay it on a flat surface.
