Which is better for gaming?

The HP Victus 15. Its RTX 5050 with 8GB GDDR7 and 144Hz screen are the clearer gaming setup. The Gigabyte's GPU model is not listed, so its frame rates are unknown.

Which is easier to carry?

The Gigabyte Gaming A16 at 4.9 lb, against 7.7 lb for the HP. That 2.8 lb gap matters if you commute with it daily.

Which has more storage?

The Gigabyte, with a 1TB SSD. The HP ships with 512GB but has a free M.2 slot for adding a drive.

Is the HP worth $1,199.99?

That price buys an RTX 5050, a 10-core i7 and 16GB DDR5, which is fair for a 1080p gaming laptop. Check the Gigabyte's current price at checkout before deciding.

Which screen is better for work?

The Gigabyte's 1920 x 1200 panel is taller, so documents and web pages show more without scrolling. The HP's 144Hz refresh rate is better for fast games.

Can I upgrade the memory?

The HP supports up to 24GB of RAM. The Gigabyte's maximum is not listed, so confirm before buying if you plan to upgrade.
