HP Victus Gaming Laptop, AMD Ryzen 5 5600H, 4GB GTX 1650 GPU, 16.1-inch (40.9 cm), FHD, IPS, 144Hz, 8GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, Backlit KB, B&O, 7ms Response time (MSO, Silver, 2.48 kg), e0301AX

This laptop just does things smoothly for which it is made of. The rtx 3050ti is a beast paired with the ryzen 5 5600h. Pros: 1) Its battery is good compared to other gaming laptops in this price range. But dont expect much as it is a gaming laptop. 2)The cpu does not bottleneck the gpu and together give a good performance. 3) The RTX 3050ti runs all the AAA titles with easy. 4)Good for editing and rendering processes. 5) I think the screen is best in the segment. 6)The exhaust fans are too good. Cons:. 1) The screen wobbles a little more. 2) The thermals are not that good hence i suggest to use a laptop cooler for low temperatures. 3) Thermal vents are less only on the back and not on the sides. If you are planning to buy this laptop just go for it. Worth the price. I thought that the rtx 3050ti will bottleneck the cpu but it does not and gives a good performance. At last everyones favourate valorant gives average 250+ fps (most of the times it depends on your internet speed)

Best laptop in this price range. Around 3years i am using it in my experience the laptop is very good. But received an HP laptop with screen bleeding, and HP's customer service was terrible. Other ways the performance and battery is good

Some people might be confused as there is GTX 1650 as it is an old GPU but believe me it works really good I played cod warzone in high graphics and it gave around 45-70 fps constantly after driver updates . About the battery backup this is pretty good if we consider gaming laptops on normal usage I am getting around 5 hours of backup which is pretty good , don't think about playing game without charging. Display - color gamet is good and it's an antiglare display and it's a big screen watching movies are really enjoyable . Weight - it's a heavy machine. Cooling system - personally I liked the cooling system it heats a lot when u play games on high-ultra settings but it manages the heat really well according to my opinion. Screen wobbling - yes there is screen wobbling a lot but when u type something in a fast pace then only screen wobbling is noticeable otherwise it is good to go not a major issue in build quality,hinge is really good . The only thing I didn't like about this laptop is sound . Quality of the sound is good but it's not loud i didn't like the sound quality in terms of loudness. Charging is pretty fast no worries but the adaptor heats soo much . Overall I like the performance it's really great

The laptop initially showed some glitches like wifi would turn off and screen flickered. On looking online there were apparently driver and win 11 issues. On applying the latest updates the matter seems to have cleared up. There seems to be quite a bit of bloatware on the product and 6 GB RAM was used up with no user app running so I added 8GB RAM. There is an additional M.2 slot inside for another SSD which I may use in the future. Processor is good so with easy RAM, battery and SSD upgrades this laptop should last a long time. One downside is that the screen hinge feels shaky but one gets used to it. It's new and working well so far and if there are issues I will update the review.

Have brought it for 72k a few days back. Setup: As soon as I brought have updated all the drivers. I connect it to the 244hz monitor and external keyboard and mouse (Razer). Placed On a well ventilated laptop stand. Performance: I'd say it's too good for my regular usage and playing valorat i could get 500fps. Have been using business class laptops for a longtime but the experience of this device is at another level. I don't have any lid wobbling issues or no heating issues at all. The screen is gorgeous. Btw, this is a huge laptop with a big power brick. Strudy build quality, typical HP. The real value for money.

Hinge is a issue but performance is good. The screen flikers some times.

Excellent product really worth

I was thrilled when I unboxed my HP Victus Ryzen 5 5600H on October 4, 2022—the 144 Hz display felt silky smooth, the GTX 1650 tackled light gaming without a hitch, and everyday tasks flew by. But that excitement didn’t last. About eight months in, the left hinge started creaking, then snapped under perfectly normal use. I reached out to HP support only to be told "hinge failures aren’t covered" a classic "wear and tear" excuse. Frustrated, I paid ₹1,500 at a local repair shop to get it fixed…only for it to break again a year later, cracking the plastic bezel this time. I forked out another ₹1,500, hoping the third time would be the charm but here I am again, hinge hanging loose, worrying every time I open the lid. And on top of that, this beast is no travel buddy. Weighing in at 2.45 kg with a chunky 16.1″ chassis, it’s awkward to sling into a backpack, and the plastic bezel feels alarmingly fragile whenever you’re on the move. What I Love: 1. Lightning-fast everyday performance (office work, streaming, casual gaming) 2. Crisp, high-refresh-rate 144 Hz panel with vibrant colors 3. Comfortable keyboard and solid cooling under moderate load Where It Falls Short: 1. Hinges routinely fail within a year, even with careful handling 2. HP’s warranty policy won’t cover what feels like a manufacturing defect 3. Frequent repair bills add up—₹3,000 and counting for me 4. Heavy and bulky—tough to carry around all day 5. Fragile hinge/plastic bezel design makes it risky for travel If you’re on a tight budget and just need raw horsepower at home, the Victus delivers but be prepared to pay out-of-pocket for hinge fixes. If you value portability, peace of mind, and a laptop that just works without constant worry, look elsewhere or spring for an extended warranty and a super-sturdy travel case.
