HP Victus Gaming Latest AMD Ryzen 7-5800H 16.1 inch(40.9 cm) FHD Gaming Laptop (16GB RAM/ 512GB SSD/4Gb RTX 3050 Graphics/Flicker Free/144Hz Display/B&O/Backlit Kb/Win 11/MSO/Xbox Pass) 16-e0351ax

This is the only review you all need to come across.Build and Design -The build quality is good, and the materials used are fine.There is some flex at the center of the keyboard but nothing major.The design is very understated and looks clean in my opinion.The screen wobbles but not as much to render it unusable.The HDMI port connects directly to the NVIDIA graphics, bypassing OptimusScreen -Do yourself a favor and spend a little extra for the 100%srgb variant of the display, you will seriously thank your eyes.The display is very nice with good colors and solid brightness. The 250 nits variant will disappoint you guys, it's not *just* 50 nits less than the 300 nits variant. Nit count is not linear, it's logarithmic.The display out of the box had a slightly yellow tinge but than can easily be fixed in the AMD software.Performance and thermals -The R7 5800H does not break a sweat no matter what you throw at it. It's so darn fast that it almost bottlenecks the RTX 3050.In other words, the RTX 3050 would be sweating at 100% usage while the r7 5800h would be chilling at 25% usage.Talking about thermals, the CPU does reach 100 degrees Celcius if you are playing a demanding game(Ryzen chips go up to 105 degrees) but it's nothing to worry about. The WASD area stays cool.The fans will make noise and if you are in a quiet environment, I would recommend a pair of headphones for a better experience.Battery Life -Don't expect wonders here, 4-5 hours on light usage. Maybe 6 hours if you change it to 60hz but nothing too special.Some things I did not like:1. The bottom bezel could have been smaller2. The keyboard backlight is blindingly bright, there is no option to toggle the brightness of those LEDs, It's just on or off.3. 2 USB ports on the right side4. It's heavy (but that's subjective)Software Included -MS Office 2021 [Lifetime]Dropbox 100GB [1 year]ExpressVPN [1 month]AlexaAll in all, a solid laptop. 8.5/10

Bought HP Victus 16-0351AX for 81,990 INR on 26.03.22The seller was Appario and the delivery was fulfilled by Amazon. Extensive packaging, fast (less than 48hrs) and safe delivery.Cons:1) The YouTubers were right when they said the display wobbles. My high-speed ceiling fan was enough to make it wobble. If that's a deal breaker for you, skip the Victus lineup.2) The display rendered colours too warmly. White web pages were rendered cream-coloured. This isn't a problem cuz we could calibrate it ourselves from the display settings, but it's odd that this wasn't done out of the box.3) The backlight on the keyboard is blindingly bright. I couldn't find any option to adjust the brightness.4) The battery life is mediocre. Need to charge it at least twice a day if you're gonna spend most of your waking hours on it.Pros:1) The specification on both Amazon and HP's websites claimed this specific model (16-0351AX) had the RTX 3050 GPU. But the one I got was the RTX 3050 ti (the more powerful version of the 3050).2) The keyboard has a clean style (I like the font of the letters on the keys) and is well spaced. Good tactile feedback. The touchpad is large, smooth, and functional.3) The processor, Ryzen 7 5800H, is unbelievably powerful. Did some light gaming (Football Manager 2021, and Counter Strike: Global Offensive). Checked HP's built-in Omen software to see how the GPU, CPU, and RAM were faring. The GPU (avg around 45°C) and RAM were at 50%, but the CPU was barely troubled (around 10-15%, avg around 38°C). Unbelievably powerful. The thermals are designed well, nothing got too hot. The fans are set to 'auto', and I could barely hear them. They're pretty quiet and non-intrusive. I toggled the fan speed to 'Max' from HP's Omen settings just to check if they run. When set to max, they're loud and powerful enough to be used as a table fan.I intend to play more demanding games, will update this review after a while.4) HP's calling this the Mica Silver colour. It's matte black. They should just call it matte black. It's neat, understated, and minimalistic. When most gaming laptops look like they're part of the traffic signal lights, you can carry this variant to business meetings and not look like a clown.5) Comes with Microsoft Office 2019. I wasted a few minutes looking for a product key on the laptop and its packaging. But that's not necessary. Just open the Microsoft Word application and it'll auto-verify the in-built product key.6) The anti-reflective coating on the display is great.7) The 512GB SSD here is fast. There's a vacant NVME slot in the laptop too, so can add another 512GB SSD if necessary.8) HP collaborated with Dropbox to give 100gb free cloud storage for a year for those who bought this laptop.

What a laptop! I got it at 80000 rs price and I can confidently say that it's easily as good as any 1 lakh rs laptop. The screen wobble issue is overrated and it doesn't affect your workflow at all. This much of wobble is not a compromise for what you are getting in the price tag. I use it mainly for designing and it's superfast. Takes barely 5-6 seconds to boot. Love the screen. 300 nits is just a marker. I think it's bright enough for normal day use. Keyboard is amazing to use. Screen is perfectly wide. Decent number of ports and high compatibility. I would give it 6.5 stars out of 5 if I could.

Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050, 16GB DDR4 RAMI must say this model has surpassed my expectations. Minimal design language for a gaming laptop. Sturdy built. Yes, the hinges are a little bit wobbly only when compared to few models. It’s not so bad as they claim in the “internet”. I have no problem with this hinges. Regarding the screen quality, I must say I’m impressed with the 144hz smoothness and the colour gamut is really good. The keyboard is the best in HP Victus. Only one disappointment is that it doesn’t have RGB backlit. Just white. The key travel is good. Gaming is absolutely fun as it has the latest RTX 3050 and the cooling technology for this model is stunning. I felt a little bit of heat in the right side of the keyboard but it’s usual in most of the gaming laptops. The maximum graphic power is 75W. As a video creator, online multiplayer gamer and casual user, I’m very much satisfied with this unit.

Robust system with exceptionally good ram management. It's suitable for every class of the user. Display quality is excellent. Only one cons is there that battery backup is average.
