Our take on the HP Victus 15.6 FHD Gaming Laptop Intel i5 13420H

The HP Victus 15.6 is HP's entry-level gaming laptop, pairing an Intel Core i5-13420H with a 6GB GeForce RTX 4050, 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD. The 1080p 15.6-inch screen and full-size keyboard with numpad make it a straightforward all-rounder for school, work and 1080p gaming. It sits below HP's Omen line, so it uses more plastic and a simpler cooling setup than pricier rivals, but the RTX 4050 handles modern titles at medium to high settings with DLSS. Reviewers treat it as solid value for a first gaming laptop, while noting the dim display and average battery life.

Questions and answers

Is the RTX 4050 enough for modern games?
Yes at 1080p. It runs most current titles at medium to high settings, and DLSS helps in heavier games. It is not built for high-refresh 1440p gaming.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
Yes. The bottom panel comes off for access to the memory slots and the M.2 SSD, so both can be upgraded later.
How does it compare with the Omen 16?
The Omen uses stronger GPUs, a brighter and faster display and better cooling, at a higher tier. The Victus is the simpler, lighter-duty option for 1080p play.
Is the screen good for photo or video editing?
Not really. It is dim with limited color coverage, so color-accurate work is better done on an external monitor.
What comes in the box?
The laptop, its power adapter and paperwork. It ships with Windows 11 Home installed and no gaming mouse or headset.
Is it too heavy to carry to class?
It is a normal 15.6-inch gaming laptop weight, fine in a backpack, but the power brick adds bulk and battery life is short away from an outlet.
Where is the HP Victus 15.6 FHD Gaming Laptop Intel i5 13420H cheapest?
At Best Buy, for $968.88, as of our latest check.
