Our take on the HP Victus 16.1" FHD Laptop

The HP Victus 16.1" FHD Laptop is a budget gaming notebook built around a 16.1-inch Full HD display and integrated graphics. It leans on a large screen and generous storage rather than raw graphics power, so it handles everyday work, streaming and light gaming better than demanding titles. Against dedicated-GPU gaming laptops it gives up frame rates, but it undercuts them on size and cost of ownership. It suits students and casual players who want one big-screen machine for school, work and entertainment.

Questions and answers

Is this laptop good for gaming?

Only for light or older titles. It uses integrated graphics, so modern games run at low settings or not at all. Gamers should look at Victus models with a dedicated GPU.

Is the 16.1-inch screen too big to carry?

It is a desktop-replacement size. It fits in a large backpack but is heavy for daily commuting, so it suits a mostly-at-home machine.

Can it handle schoolwork and office apps?

Yes. Browsing, documents, video calls and streaming are well within its range, and the large screen helps with split-window work.

Does it have a dedicated graphics card?

No. Graphics are integrated into the processor, which keeps heat and power use down but limits gaming and video editing.

What is in the box?

The laptop and its power adapter. A mouse, sleeve or other accessories are not included.
