HP Victus 16 gaming laptop from behind on a wooden desk

I only just finished up my review of the HP Victus 16 and the RTX 4070 model has just crashed in price. While I initially tested the cheaper RTX 4050 version, I was so impressed with the performance I experienced, I’m more than happy to recommend this step up the component ladder. This is a cheaper build, so you’re making some sacrifices in other features to secure such a solid spec, but considering this deal doesn’t break past $1,000 you’re still in excellent hands.

Of course, we’ve gotPrime Day gaming laptop dealsandBlack Friday gaming laptop dealscoming up very shortly, and with that extra $100 discount briefly making its way to the shelves earlier in the year this model could go cheaper. I’d be hesitant to wait, though. You never know what’s going to happen on Black Friday - this machine could be $200 cheaper but it could stay at this price and be run off the shelves. I’d say the extra $100 is worth it for an extra two months of play between now and November.

Should you buy the HP Victus 16?

(Image credit: Future)

HP Victus gaming laptop on a wooden desk

TheHP Victus 16is an absolute workhorse, offering fantastic performance for its price and still looking and feeling slicker than other budget options. Its dim display is pretty symptomatic of this entry-level price point and the softer keyboard will turn typists off everyday use but if you’re looking for a machine that can sit nicely in a gaming setup without breaking the bank it’s an excellent option.

Even the RTX 4050 configuration I tested was punching above its weight, bringing in three-figure framerates in 1080p and still managing to clock at 60fps+ in more demanding games like Returnal (even scraping that threshold in Ultra settings). That’s a fantastic result, boding particularly well for RTX 4070 performance. On top of that, it’s got a slightly heavier but still portable form factor and feels far less ‘gamery’ than other budget options. TheAsus TUF A15is my overall pick for the best budget rig, but it’s stamped with pretty cringey text. Here you’re getting a smooth and sleek rig with just a hint of branding that remains tasteful.

Of course, if that display is worrying you there are other options out there. I’d recommend theAcer Nitro 16to those looking for a particularly bright panel around this price range, and theAsusTUF A15 will bump you up a few nits as well.
