The HP Victus 15 is one of HP’s most popular gaming laptops, and part of the reason for that is the price.

It has respectable components for the price, though: an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card, and 8GB of RAM. This kind of hardware will suit you pretty well for most modern games, but you may want to consider a RAM upgrade in the future.

It also has a very solid 16GB of RAM for a better day-to-day experience, and the 1TB of storage should be more than enough for most folks. It’s also worth mentioning that both the battery and the typing experience are very solid.
