Design
So if you have been keeping up with the news regarding laptops then you must be aware that the design of the previous models of HP Victus was pretty bad and it did receive poor reviews from customers the question arises, does the HP Victus 16 have made any improvements in the design?
Guys HP has learned from its mistakes and the overall build quality of the HP Victus 16 is far better as compared to the previous models, one thing that really impressed us is the top lid flex like guys there’s almost no top lid flex which is extremely impressive.
The whole laptop is made up of polycarbonate, furthermore, the keyboard flex is almost zero which enhances the typing performance as well. The HP Victus 16 weighs around 2.3 Kg which is again impressive for gaming laptops as the majority of the gaming laptops weigh around 2.5 Kg or more. You’re going to have absolutely no issues regarding the design if you decide to purchase this laptop. Now let us discuss the Ports in this staggering gaming laptop
Ports
The HP Victus 16 has a good selection of various ports that users can take full advantage of, we will list down all the ports that HP has featured in this gaming laptop.
- Power Input Port
- 3 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A Port
- USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C Port
- 1 RJ 45 LAN Port
- HDMI 2.1 Port (maximum output – 4k 144Hz)
Keyboard & Trackpad
This laptop features a single-color backlit keyboard that looks exquisite moreover, it is a full-size keyboard with a Num pad included which is understandable as it is a huge gaming laptop. The keys are also subtle and smooth which provides a great typing experience, our team did some typing tests on this laptop for a good amount of time and we can confidently say that this laptop provided a staggerring typing experience. The temperature of the keyboard only rises up to 28-30 degrees while gaming which is bearable.
The trackpad is decent however, even after being a full clickable trackpad our team experienced that the trackpad only works fine 30 to 40% from the bottom, furthermore, the trackpad also supports multi gesture which is again a good thing. /
Display & Audio
So first things first, we would like to discuss in our HP Victus 16 Review that the brand (HP) has mentioned on Amazon that the display of this laptop is 100% SRGB which isn’t true! Yes, the laptop’s display isn’t 100% SRGB but hey that’s totally fine according to us because the specs it’s providing are totally amazing.
As already mentioned above, this laptop has an FHD IPS level 144Hz display of 16.1 inches and honestly, the display is pretty decent, guys its surely a great display for the amount this laptop is priced at! Plus the peak brightness of this laptop is 240 Nits.
Based on our firsthand experience, this laptop has a fundamental display, and you will indeed have a great time enjoying movies and playing your favorite AAA titles on this laptop.
We even tested the Color Gamut of the display and here are the results:
- 68% SRGB
- 52% AdobeRGB
- 51% P3
- 49% NTSC
The HP Vixtus 16 doesn’t produce good colors so we wouldn’t recommend you perform any color grading tasks on it, apart from that it’s all good and we didn’t face any issues regarding the display and we believe that you won’t either.
Alright so now for the audio, the speaker quality is again decent it’s not too loud and definitely not too low as well. You get 2 speakers and both of them are of 2 Watt furthermore, the audio processing of this laptop on external devices is also impressive.
Furthermore, if you’re on a tighter budget then you can go for Acer Aspire 5 which is also a good option.
Battery
So you all might be thinking that this laptop is gonna have a decent battery as the majority of the gaming laptops under 1 Lakh don’t really have a great battery life but guys hold up! the HP Victus 16 has an impressive battery life of 83Whr, we got over 5-6 hours of battery backup while performing basic tasks such as multitasking, surfing the internet, etc. You can also charge this laptop using a Type-C charger and it supports up to 100W charging which is good.

So for the performance, you all might’ve guessed by now that this laptop is indeed a beast and our team had a great time testing out the performance of this laptop We did some video editing on this laptop and it handled and exported 4k videos like a champ.
