I swear ever since I got my Victus laptop, you lovely chads have been in my recommended videos every day and I love it lol. I haven't had a desktop for years and have been using my victus laptop for a year now, I'm literally about to get a victus desktop just because of your guys' consistent videos on the victus lmao. I'm gonna have a victus laptop and desktop now.
Thank you for sharing this! Ordered the hp victus you recommended!
Thank God I found someone that make some game test with the 8 gb ram, I was just trying to find out how this laptop works without upgrading the ram yet. Thank you so much!!!
I wish I seen this video when it first came out, I have been looking for a decent starting laptop that I could game on and I had enough to get one at the beginning of the month but decided to wait for black friday so i just looked up deals and found your video luckily the deal was still going on through the link and I just bought it gonna go pick it up tommorow
This laptop was a great choice for our son. It’s his first gaming laptop and, so far, he’s not had any issues playing what he wants. Thanks for the review, it really helped!
Got the i5/3050 version on sale for about $600 this year from Best Buy. I would watch out for that model.
I have this labtop. I slapped in another 8 gigs of Ram and have been having a blast playing pretty much any game I want too 👌
Any Apex Legends? And How is heating ?
Is there a tutorial on this laptop ram upgrade
@@kemauryferrier5899 You could probably find a video on UA-cam, I did for my laptop, which came with 16 and now has 32
@@hartly8857 ... It comes with a built in optimizer from Hp. I set the fans to run wide open if I'm playing games. No over heating yet.
@@kemauryferrier5899 yeah... Just UA-cam it. It took me 5 minutes.
In general, with these cheaper laptop reviews, I would love to see you add that extra stick of memory and see how it does with the upgrade at the end of the videos.
i have 32 gb installed and the gaming experience it's 15% better more app open at the same time , heavy games running like peanut butter more FPs thx to dual channel
@@raulperez7085 that's nice to hear
Got a gigabyte g5 with 4060 for $750 added 8gb for 16gb for $12 night and day difference

Thanks a bunch, Toastybros ... after watching this, decided to go out and buy an Open Box - Excellent (or whatever) from BB for $434 ... looking forward to trying it out once it arrives!
👍
Especially nice since I had a $100 BB giftcard that I applied ... so this was essentially $334 + RAM and HD upgrade for $434
I checked and it's like 800 bucks 😭

I got this laptop during Black Friday as well! The laptop is great for school and gaming. With the RAM upgraded to 16 GB, I can play CS2 with Med graphics at 140 fps @144Hz. It is GPU-bound when playing, the CPU usage is around 30%
Hey! Can you tell me how much battery time you get for doing only school work (no gaming)?
Cs2 is trash. They purposely killed the game and cashed in all the skins. They really abandoned this game. Absolutely trash. It's so bad you can't download matches played or overwatcth a match. The game is garbage
@@asadmehmood9619 with battery saver: ON, i get around 3-4 hours browsing the web.
@@mikejames6588 I'm sorry you feel that way, it seems to me that you really liked this game but the changes made were too different. Even if you don't enjoy the game anymore, there are still thousands of players who still play. With time, I hope Valve Re-implements past features from CS:GO and makes the game even better than before. I hope you have a nice rest of your day.
@@kriztianserraon1088 it's not even a "new" game it's more of an acquisition and label slap
Picked up my Victus the other day and I've been loving it. Got it from the same best buy even lol. I plan on upgrading the ram at some point but even with 8gb it still runs fine
I actually spent almost two hours in Best Buy trying to decide if I should buy this last Sunday. So happy you did a review on this
Did you get it?
@@hankmyers2422I got it, it’s so good
Guys do you know if the inside has got room for 2.5" SSD?
no it doesnt have space for 2.5 inch SSD, it has only 1 NVME slot which is already occupied@@kiwichess
Got this Laptop with an R5 7535HS and an RTX 2050 for around 350 dollars or so. In our Area, the Victus and the Acer Nitro seem to be common picks since they're cheap and hella good

where did you buy?
Wish I had such laptop, mine has no video card and it cost me 700$ where I live (outside US, caribbean islands). Can't play games too well or do anything that requires an actual video card to use properly.
It's crazy how much cheaper you can get stuff in the US.

Fine. I will say "furst". Happy?
so i wanted to buy a new pc but this is the best i have seen so far thank you for your reviews
I just bought this laptop last week at Best Buy! I'm very pleased with it!
Whats the screen refresh rate?
Got one! Thanks for this video!
Best part about it being rtx is you get dlss support which can help make newer games more playable.
True, all old games it runs on High Settings.
New Titles need to support DLSS.
My old PC was GTX 1080, i did the same, able to play all games on it, demanding titles too.
Ryzen 7000 series surprised to see ddr5? Weve been in that intel train a little to long 🙃
I recently tested the I-7 model with the rtx3050 and 1 TB Nvme and was pleasantly surprised at the performance...
My brother has this laptop. Got an external monitor plugged it in and in overwatch 2 there’s a setting you have to choose in display. His game is at 180 fps the whole time and that’s the cap of his monitor, 180hz. Honestly since the laptop is so cheap compared to others, getting an external monitor might be an option for most. I got him an acre monitor from Amazon it was 109 bucks usd and it advertised 165hz but it ended up being 180hz which is a fat W imo. If you play games like ow2 or Fortnite valorent etc than this laptop is honestly a great pick if u can get a solid monitor to go with it.
imagine connecting that thing to a nice egpu and build a gaming monster all bang no buck and you can always have a the praticability.... amazing
Where did that first Best Buy link send me to??
i bought this exact laptop from best buy during black friday and its awesome! i upgraded the ram to 32Gb and a 2tb 990 pro ssd and man for my first laptop its awesome! play mw3 zombies with no issues
I've seen this laptop and I've wanted it so bad for so long cause my current one is so shit but like I don't have enough and I'm glad to watch people I watch review it and see what they think of it
Wait for the one with the 3050 6GB to go on sale. You won't regret it.
@@Elomentoplayz I've been waiting for both lol. I can't get either sadly. I want one of them so bad for what I wanna create
great deal! , the same machine is £850 in UK
Thnx now am typing from the laptop and started streaming and it is very powerful
When I buy this laptop, it is already activated Windows or does it need activation?
@@World_Woo it have windows 11 home , I really recommend it
I got the Asus Laptop that was on sale at Best Buy. Had Ryzen cpu and 7600s gpu. Its nice.
The RTX 2050 will be the new GTX 1650 for entry level gaming laptops. I just don’t expect it to be around for as long as the 1650 was. Which is still being used in 2023 released laptops.
RTX 2050 for laptops is the best, why pay more ?
They only rename it on the Hopper launch now.
2050 runs cool and is close to the 3050. The only thing that will change is GPU tech is advancing even faster so nothing will stay around as long as the 1650s have
I got this laptop but with the i5 and GTX 1650 a while back and it was pretty nice, nothing incredible but I got it for about 600$. It's crazy to see a better one like this for that price.
Got mine with a 3050 6GB and a i5 13420h for 600$ too
I got the same one too for 400 last year
I want to get a laptop for my dad, who has a lot of free time three times a week, to play Diablo 4 with me. We played 2 and 3 to death, but his computer died on him. What kind of performance do you figure he'd get with this? Would you recommend it? If not, what laptop would you recommend?
I recently used this because I literally couldn't find a sales associate to pay money. I just left and just ordered it and picked it up in a locker. perfect didn't even have to talk to anyone
Dang I guess here in fl we are not getting the discount we have it for 799
might sound a bit silly, but with this having usb 4, would it work with external gpu docks? idk if the investment is worth it, but like you say the "rtx" 2050 is a bottlekneck, the cpu seems really solid tbf, so if this had a external 3060 for example it might be a better match, that and 8gb more ram too
it would for sure work i dont see a reason why not. and its not silly this has been a solution for laptops for a while
The meme edits are getting great 😂
Bought myself Victus 16s-0003nm, upgraded from 16gb to 32gb ram. RTX 4050 with R7. Best 1080€ I’ve ever spent 😅
4:43 imagine having victus 16 3050 the 60 hz version. That was painful
The locker system is very popular in Europe and it's been implemented by major retailers for about 3 years now, I'm surprised it's not that common in the US.
I've recently purchased that exact same laptop. Just that in my case, the charger is 200W, and I got the one from BestBuy, but mine came with an i5-13450H, if I'm not mistaken, along with a 6GB 3050 and 8GB of RAM. It has been a pretty good experience. The only issue is with the RAM, which can be upgraded, I think, up to 32 or 64, and the battery life is pretty short. If managed well, you can get up to 4 or 5 hours, but I usually don't get more than 2.
Also important to mention, in my case, I don't think it's the best, but it's a DDR4 RAM at 3200, and it cost me $600, well actually $599, but yeah, and I got it with a $300 discount, originally priced at $899, but it's frequently on sale. I think it's one of the best new things you can get for that price, although I would surely upgrade the RAM to 16 if you want to do heavy gaming (I don't; I do some casual gaming, video editing, and web browsing, and it is just fine).
Get a macbook...
Those ram sticks are pretty cheap when they're on sale like 30-40$
@@Tonyplat98what's the point?
@@GameOver-nm2us point is it's better...
@@Tonyplat98 in what exactly?
The Victus is OK for a beginner laptop, but it does have limited upgradability though. From what I found, most configurations that were "cheaper" only had the RTX 3050 or GTX 1650 or 1660 which is OK for beginners, but once they get more into gaming, they may be disappointed. Not that you can upgrade your laptop's video card anyway, but sometimes it may pay to spend a bit more (and by that I mean another $200 or $300) to get something with an RTX 3060, 3070 or an RTX 4050+ as those will be more future proof at least by a few years. So it's fine as a beginner gaming laptop, but you may outgrow it within a year or two. I learned that a long time ago with various things (cameras, laptops, etc).
That being said, the RTX 2050 is a waterdowned 2060 which is an older GPU. If you guys know Dawid Does Tech Stuff, he reviewed a laptop similar to this one (or perhaps the same model with a slightly different configuration) and it did OK, but it also had points where it struggled in modern games, even with DLSS.
I JUST GOT THIS LITERALLy 2 DAYS AGO AND YALL JUST POSTED NOW WWWWWWWWWWW

Just picked up a Asus zephyrus g15 with a ryzen 9 6900 and a rtx 3060 with 16 gb ddr5 for $500 on the Facebook marketplace place it's awesome
Please do a review of i5 13th gen rtx 3050 6gb variant
Man I wish I had a Micro Center near me
They also have an intel i7 version with dual channel ram. Pretty much the specs are double than the one in the video. It’s selling for $799 at Best Buy.
Terrible deal
Bought this laptop last week and love it so far. Been playing cs2 and Diablo 4. I was looking at the Victus with the i5 and 3050 a couple weeks earlier and didn’t buy it then the sale ended. When that ended this went on sale for 459 and I picked it up immediately. I upgraded to 32gb of Corsair ddr5 and it is a great deal. Probably wouldn’t buy at 800 but for 459 it’s a steal
Nice! So D4 is running good on it? I'm thinking about getting one for my father.
Runs perfect and laptop stays super cool. Very happy.
How kuch was the 3050 one?
Which ram would you suggest to get it to 16g?
Best buy also a model of this that has an i5 13420h and an rtx 3050 (6gb) for around $100 more than this, seems like a better buy if you have the money tbh due to it having much newer components and 6gb of vram instead of 4gb. only downside is that one is ddr4 as standard instead of ddr5
They've tested the laptops GPU performance and it's only about a 10% real world difference, so not really worth another $100.
@@HermannTheGreat If you look at User Benchmark, you are indeed correct that a regular rtx 3050 laptop gpu is only about 10% better, but because that model has a 6gb rtx 3050, it gives it much more headroom for higher fidelity games that demand more vram. Unfortunately there are no tests on User Benchmark about the 6gb variant.
There is a youtube video posted comparing the 6gb variant vs the 4gb. @@quinnhoman6976
I drive a Laramie too! Great truck!
Just for the thank of god use normal taa (with 100% 3d res) in fortnite, it just drops a lot of fps by using epic tsr and also maybe just take the textures and all the other settings down and just put the render distance to epic
Super awesome review 🙏🏻🙏🏻
i wonder how good the asus tuf a16 with the 7600s is?
Do you have any thoughts on what another stick to bring it up to 16Gb would have done for performance? And Price already back up to 699

i bought a HP Victus with an i7 11th gen and 3060 from someone off facebook marketplace for $400 dollars greatest deal ive ever gotten
Best Buy has another HP Victus for $550 that has the RTX 3050 and I5 13th gen processor. Other specs are same. Is it worth $100 more ?
Yes! That extra vram is huge. If a 3060 is out of reach, it’s the better option if you’re uncomfortable buying used.
Can I use this like a regular laptop? I’m thinking of playing on the side but mostly for studying and browsing. I heard battery life are bad in gaming laptops.
This has an “eco” mode which from what I can tell lowers the screen refresh rate and lowers power consumption when web browsing, typing on excel/word, that kind of stuff. I don’t know how much more battery life it will give though.
