This is actually a good way but instead of blowing, use table fan, and because my fan is actually directly toward the screen direction sometimes and causes screen wobble. No blowing please. No blowing please XD
Yes, the screen does wobble a bit when placed directly under a ceiling fan. Not noticeable but during a video call people would think you're in an earthquake.
@@mini9503 typing doesn't make the screen wobble, however as Jarrod asked about the fan, that exact situation happened to me during a video call and people on the other side was concerned about our wellbeing 😅😅😅😅

Thank you very much for that blowing demo Jarrod. It was funny but you go for every possible way there is that satisfies people like us. Keep up the good work.
Victus outperforming legion 5 in many benchmarks is something very amazing and surprising . Also the gaming performance is almost on par many times. Hope you had the 100%srgb screen. Its phenomenal. Best review of victus till date
I recently got this laptop in the UK region. It’s screen brightness isn’t an issue even outdoors and the screen wobble is no where near as bad as Jarrod makes it out to be. Also the screen feels *so* responsive and the “delay” is unnoticeable. Amazing video again Jarrod and if you are looking to buy this laptop I would 100% recommend. 👍
On behalf of many Indians, I'd like to really thank you & appreciate your work for covering this laptop, especially since or country probably got the AMD models first on sale!
You do realize that India has the msi gf65 thin with a 3060 (though a i5 10500h) for much cheaper than a victus with a 3060. And HP will give us the bad quality control models.
@@hmm2928 Ok, so if all you're after is a powerful processor, why not get the 55k 4600h + 1650 laptops? No, really, why not? And the 3060 is a lot more helpful than a 3050 or even a 3050ti.
@@friendlyatheist9589 Dude, what? Its a 6 core i5. Basically a i7 10750h. And that processor wasn't a bottleneck for even 2080 max p's. The ONLY downside to the msi gf65 thin is blocked vents (might wanna drill some holes below the fans and slap on a grill). Hell msi even allows you to undervolt that i5 10th gen. Even the gimped 75w 3060 will still be a vastly better option than a 3050 or 3050ti. And the msi is the lightest of these 15' gaming machines.
The victus quiet an impressive laptop for an all around-ish perspective. Tho I’m still confused why my nitro gets better thermals than this victus , better game performance and higher cr23 (12555) out of the box compared to yours (only diff is 5800H) . But great review nonetheless!
The shape of this laptop is so nice, why they don’t make their premium laptops like that. It’s nice in such a way it looks way better than the new Alienware x laptops
I can see Gamers nexus making a video calling out the Airblow test: "The difference between people's lungs and airblow power would render this test's result volatility very present, back to you steve." *I'm joking just incase*
So - for anyone interested enough to read the comments almost 8 months after this video release. I've got victus with 5800h and 3060 inside. As of BIOS F.13 CPU power draw reaches 55W in steady state and 65W for short turbo (around 5s peak). Both in default mode and performance. In Silent mode it goes down to 25W. GPU goes at 30W in silent, 80W in default and 95W in performance. All measured by HWinfo. Those differences in CPU TDP make Victus cpu performance almost on par with Legion 5 pro 5800h now. In my opinion default mode in Victus is now better than default for Legion. Though Legion still can boost to around 80-90W in max performance mode.
And come with 2x8 dual channel ram and 1 tb SSD...I'm considering that against a Lenovo Ideapad gaming 3, 5600h same 3060, but with 8 ram and 500 SSD...but cost 300€ less. I fear the latency on screen will be notable...
@@abccba5125 Well. I kinda got tired of Lenovos teribble QC. Earlier - I wanted to go for Legion 5 pro with hires screen (preffered it over victus'es one). Tried 3 times. Every time there was a problem with dead or hot pixels. So I finally settled on Victus :) Which all things considered is not perfect - but Lenovo became a big no-no for me after this. 3 Legions, all bought from different shops - all with lcd matrix defects from the go.
🤔 maybe it's a problem only for that specific model, not an issue quality of the brand...I've heard complaining about HP also...the fact is I think that processor for primary gaming purposes seems a bit superfluous? With that GPU it can perform almost same with lower CPU (5600h)...and can easily install additional ram for cheap...that said, I have an Acer notebook not strictly a gaming machine, but it has problems since early times and now I have to switch, Asus notebook also got problems, I think low/medium tier portables have something not just round tailored any case ...maybe it's time for HP 🤨
@@abccba5125 5600h it's definitely enough. I'v tested both in legion pro. No difference in gaming/light loads. Got 5800h in victus purely because it was on sale and cost the same as 5600h version. As for ram - always plan for replacement. Cause they use slow x16 shit. I'v replaced mine in victus too, it was not only x16 but also 2400mhz cl22 :)
i have it and you can go for it blindly, wobble is not a issue(also mine dosent have this much wobble as shown) , battry is amazing, but make sure to take high refresh rate one, also its a finger print magnet(black one), and 1650 also has good speakers.
Thank you for being, from what I can tell, the only reviewer to say whether or not the DisplayPort and HDMI use the dGPU, for those of us that dock the laptop a good deal of the time.
I heard that whenever they come out with their new HP omen 16 it also has this screen wobbleness since hardware cunucks took a look at it. I'm on hopium that the Omen 17 doesn't have this issue since that is the laptop I'm waiting for. *Crosses fingers*
Glad to see this. I'm excited about the specs, but as always probably rather go with something 1 gen older but better build as I don't see this lasting me 3+ years. :( good effort, still.
When fan is behind me, it doesn't wobble haha, so just a matter of air placement. I decided to buy this over nitro 5 and I find omen too pricey already. Looks good to me, more professional looking, surprisingly sound is great too 😁
Jarrod, for the fan speed settings issue, it will revert your changes if your profile mode is set to auto. If you want your settings to stay you need to change it from auto to manual. I own the RTX3050 victus and my region states 99% sRGB but I have no way to confirm it. Cooling is great though because the RTX 3050 is only 75W.
Hi Jarrod , can you please give your advice on my issue - I need a new laptop with descent specs for working mostly, and at the moment I can get this lightly used or a brand new Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 16" Gen 7 with i5 12450/3050/16 ram/ 165 hrz, 350 nits, 100%RGB, 16:10 (or the AMD version Ryzen 5 6600H with ddr5). I don't play games at all , but I can appreciate a bit of flair. I don't care about any wobble as I don't flick the screen , but rather open and close it gently. It will be used 99% at home or some other indoor place, so the brightness is enough on both. I may only need 32 ram, but that is easy. Can you please advise me? I also can get a Legion 5, I know it is your favourite :)
When mux switch is not present, frames are processed by discrete GPU but have to pass thru IGPU. The IGPU can bottleneck when fps is very high like 80+. Using Mux switch or external display bypasses the IGPU to eliminate this bottleneck. But mux switch is costly to implement, so most manufacturers just connect external display ports directly to discrete GPU and native screen thru IGPU.
I promise I don't mean to sound rude, but you could just Google it. It's a pretty easy explanation to understand - think of laptops without a mux switch as a series connection from the DGPU to the display, and in the middle, there's an IGPU. The IGPU always causes some drop in performance when it's involved, but it's amazing for battery life. Whereas, a laptop with a mux switch is like a parallel connection. The IGPU route can be cut off, so the display is directly connected to the DGPU - which means better performance (~15%), but worse battery life. But you can always turn it back on, for extended battery life. Best of both worlds.
I have a video dedicated to it: ua-cam.com/video/6mWies_4oDs/v-deo.html And also multiple posts on my site: jarrods.tech/what-is-a-mux-switch-for-gaming-laptops/
I found other reviews that show amazing srgb rates and brightness levels. Why is it nearly impossible to know before buying how good the screen will actually be 😭
am i the only person who prefers good color gamut and brightness over the refresh rate? I mean i would go for 90+srgb, 300nit 60Hz over the one in the victus.
The best thing about the Netflix series The Night Agent was the wobble of the Victus! On certain episodes, you can see it wobble! But nonetheless, the highest spec is a good mid-range gaming laptop.
Hello Jarrod, good review as always. Talking about budget laptop, do you think you can have a review on Lenovo ideapad 5 pro? I think that one is pretty sweet.
It's getting into 3 weeks since I ordered a laptop from Hp.... still waiting over here. (9/6) Update: Finally heard back from Hp about my Pavilion and it's now being shipped! (10/18)
Hey man your reviews are awsome! I hope you can add Diablo 2 Resurrected on the bench marks for gaming soon as I am looking for laptops that could play that game!
Thanks, ASUS haven't offered that model yet and I think this is the first request I've seen for it so probably not worth me running out to buy with my own money just yet unfortunately!
Hi Jarrod, long time Aussie viewer here. Please ignore this if its already been covered, but could you include Aussie links for your product reviews (when possible)? I understand you viewership base is most likely US and foreign based, but for us back home could you drop a local friendly link when possible? Thank you so much. Absolute Love Love your channel and work (and Be'lakor/Insiferum shirts!)
I just bought HP Victus 16 this month and for some reason I find that the laptop run my games a lil slow. It may be the drivers? I ve already updated them, but i dont know 😭
Plugged in or unplugged? Also check your booster settings on the Omen program. And maybe check your performance mode on the battery icon. I’ve found some games run better than others… and at random times I get slowdown for no reason. Overall it normally runs things quite well though.
There's a model of the Victus with an i7-11800H for just $1250 on the HP website. I'm skeptical, but its specs seem similar to this review. I'm debating if I should go for that model or for the Acer Predator Helios 300.
Hi there. I am currently having the exact same dilemma. Predator helios 300 which is a bit more expensive or the 11800H victus. If you don't mind me asking, what did you end up going for?

@@VikramPremanand I did check it. It was suggestion for him :) thanks for your explanation
@@aks27703 Thanks
I have a video dedicated to it:

And also multiple posts on my site:

Great job ! As always 👏 👍
I found other reviews that show amazing srgb rates and brightness levels. Why is it nearly impossible to know before buying how good the screen will actually be 😭
the blow test you did just earned you a new sub, keep up with the great work!
Haha welcome!
am i the only person who prefers good color gamut and brightness over the refresh rate? I mean i would go for 90+srgb, 300nit 60Hz over the one in the victus.
Have you heard of laptops with both? just increase ur budget 😂
@@SpewtGG I feel offended
11/10 score for the review mate! Very informative
That blowing on the screen was the best thing I saw today :)
Jarrod great video, i think i watch your video's the most out ot any youtuber.
Just decided im going to become a member
Thanks, and welcome!
Im in love with this look
Finally dropped. Thanks 🖖🏻
Just got this bad boy for 800€ with 5600h and 3060, pretty fair price in EU. Thanks for the review!
Fantastic work bro!
The best thing about the Netflix series The Night Agent was the wobble of the Victus! On certain episodes, you can see it wobble! But nonetheless, the highest spec is a good mid-range gaming laptop.
Pls make a video best setup to use this laptop pls!!
(Like bloatware cleaning, download software or upgrade hardware etc) 👀
Jarrod, you are one of the finest tech reviewer I have seen in an era. 😊
Hello Jarrod, good review as always. Talking about budget laptop, do you think you can have a review on Lenovo ideapad 5 pro? I think that one is pretty sweet.
Plastic and it's £799 at Argos?! Why are laptops so expensive?!
Hey Jarrod! Would you recommend this laptop for school?, I would be also using it for gaming
It's getting into 3 weeks since I ordered a laptop from Hp.... still waiting over here. (9/6)
Update: Finally heard back from Hp about my Pavilion and it's now being shipped! (10/18)
Great review! Any plans on eventually reviewing the Lenovo Legion Slim 7? Would love to see that.
Love your Insomnium T-shirt! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
I am using victus 3060 with 100%srgb . performing amazing and performance is just phenomenal and on par with higher priced laptops
what about temperatures and screen wobble?
You are the only reviewer who test linux support on laptops you review. GREAT ADDITION!! That helped me too much!
YOU ARE THE BEST Jarrod keep going
Haha blowing on the screen was 👌
But seeing how much the screen wobbles, I think it will definitely do the same under a ceiling fan too.
Hey man your reviews are awsome!
I hope you can add Diablo 2 Resurrected on the bench marks for gaming soon as I am looking for laptops that could play that game!
Nice review! Good Job!
Lol the screen wobble demo 😂😂
Thanks for this review.👍😃
Can you do a review on the 2023 version please!
Trying to get it! Just been hard to get HP here for the last 18 months, but that's starting to change.
@@JarrodsTech Fingers crossed!
@@YukimaruM There is no 2023 Victus. It was discontinued by HP in 2022, in favor of only making Omen.
@@charginginprogresss not sure where you got that information from but there is actually a 2023 version of the victus right now
Great review, Jarrod!
Just a question, but could you possibly review the Asus Tuf F17? I am considering buying it. Thanks!
Thanks, ASUS haven't offered that model yet and I think this is the first request I've seen for it so probably not worth me running out to buy with my own money just yet unfortunately!
Hi Jarrod, long time Aussie viewer here. Please ignore this if its already been covered, but could you include Aussie links for your product reviews (when possible)? I understand you viewership base is most likely US and foreign based, but for us back home could you drop a local friendly link when possible? Thank you so much. Absolute Love Love your channel and work (and Be'lakor/Insiferum shirts!)
This is how Laptop Review should be
The best laptop reviewer out there!
I just bought HP Victus 16 this month and for some reason I find that the laptop run my games a lil slow. It may be the drivers? I ve already updated them, but i dont know 😭
Plugged in or unplugged? Also check your booster settings on the Omen program. And maybe check your performance mode on the battery icon. I’ve found some games run better than others… and at random times I get slowdown for no reason. Overall it normally runs things quite well though.
Love your channel!
Is there a huge difference if the battery is 3-cell / 52.5 Wh versus 4-cell / 70 Wh (HP victus models) ?
There's a model of the Victus with an i7-11800H for just $1250 on the HP website. I'm skeptical, but its specs seem similar to this review. I'm debating if I should go for that model or for the Acer Predator Helios 300.
Hi there. I am currently having the exact same dilemma. Predator helios 300 which is a bit more expensive or the 11800H victus. If you don't mind me asking, what did you end up going for?
Ooh, that battery life on the MSI Delta though... can't wait for your full review on it.
Next week! That was a little sneak peak 😁
@@JarrodsTech Looking forward to it! Thanks for all your hard work!
WHAT HAS MY LIFE BECOME 😅 😂
Literally blowing on screen 🤣
1:31 didn't see that coming 🤣🤣
