    As a college student who also games, the relatively slim design of the Victus makes it extremely portable. I also recommend anyone that is interested in buying this to check out the HP store online and get yours custom built, if there is a good sale. I custom built mine on sale for $1,245 USD with these specs.
    i7-13700HX
    4060 (8GB)
    16GB RAM DDR5-4800Mhz
    1TB SSD
    1080p 165hz 300nit display
    Intel Wifi 6E card
    I don't think you can get a better deal with those specs compared to other manufacturers.
    AUG 2024 Update: I just opened mine up to find that it has a second M.2 slot. It seems that if the laptop has an Intel HX processor or AMD equivalent, it comes equipped with a second slot.

    I picked this up from Costco a few weeks ago, but with several upgrades (a 4060, 32gb ram, an hx i7, Wi-Fi 6e and the 144hz screen) for $1099 on a sale. It’s been great, and I’m extremely happy with it for that price. I also really like (as you mentioned in the beginning) that its appearance is more discreet than most other gaming laptops. My only complaint is that the 250 nit screen on the 144hz display is a bit dimmer than I’d like (as you also mentioned). But otherwise I love it, and the screen is fine indoors, which is the only place I’ll be using it, anyways.

    The more I watch reviews and read different subreddits (laptop, gamedev, and engine-specific forums), the more I'm leaning away from the 4050 just because of the cost per value of the gpu. And this video just reinforces that maybe I should consider something from the cheaper 30xx series. Thanks!

    • @mrlito1
      @mrlito1 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Do not forget power consumption (and eventual thermal throttling) as a key criteria.
      Yes, the 3060 140W laptop version gets better results in some games, but it really needs to consume more than RTX 40XX series in game to perform well. The RTX 40XX series never consume more than 90-110W in game (so far), which means a few $ saved on electricity bill each month and less heat to be dissipated by the cooling system, so less risk of overheat / thermal throttling / eventual battery damage.
      Consequently, between two gaming laptops sharing the same chassis / cooling system / price, I would definitely recommend to buy the one with (let's say) i5-13500H and RTX 4050 120W instead of the one with i7-11800H and RTX 3060 130W.
      Edit : I forgot about perceived value if ever you wanna resell your laptop later and the battery which capacity is already impacted after many months without turning the laptop on (which will certainly be the case for a laptop based on RTX 30XX if you buy it in october 2023).
      Last but not least: the probability of future Nvidia drivers' update improving GPU performance is always higher on the most recent gen compared to older ones.

      @@mrlito1 these are good points. One of my criteria for buying a laptop is definitely some future-proofing. And your point about drivers is a problem I already have with my old unit, an ASUS ROG GL553VE with GTX 1050ti. It's about time I upgrade for work purposes, game development is becoming more demanding.
      From your point of view, driver-wise how long do you think the 3060 series would be supported by NVIDIA that it won't F up? Because right now, if I update my nvidia drivers I get BSOD after just a couple of minutes of game development. Which always prompted me to revert to an older driver.

When it comes to cooling, if you play games it goes more than 70 or plus celsius but fan works all the time at thag moment. I disabled turbo boost and for example with Hell Let Loose it goes to 60 65 celsius max ( highest graphic options) similar with cod WWII in full graphic settings. Both games work quite fine and without any problems. I tried battery once while gaming, it went around 2 and half hours so i assume with standard use around 4 hours it would go.

One big reason I got this over it's lenovo counterpart was the battery life but If I'm forced to keep it at 100% all the time it will drain the battery's health effectively invalidating the very reason I bought it, so I might end up throwing it back in the box and returning it. Other than this it's a great laptop, I just don't think I can get over the lack of this feature when their cheaper, non-gaming laptops have it.

      @acecodm2550 Thanks for asking
      I upgraded from a 5 year old non gaming laptop, so my expectations were pretty low. But from what I can say, it's really good.
      I really like the design the most. You can take it anywhere without looking weird, but it still has some gaming look.
      I heard the general belief in the gaming laptop community is that HP's tend to have some more issues, I haven't used it long enough yet, but I don't have any issues so far.
      I don't play very extensive games, but the ones I do play run very well. The screen wobble isn't that bad at all, and the plastic build feels solid. My spec is a little different than the one Jarrod has, so stuff like the bad wifi card doesn't apply to me.

Im asking because i was looking at upgrading my laptop, and this victus is the cheapest laptop with a 4050 in italy (at least, that i have found), and it looks like the perfect solution for me, but i'm not a fan of having the cpu contantly at 95°.

    Regarding the slow WiFi speed, do you ever check the tested laptops using another WiFi card? I see in your list that e.g. the ASUS TUF A16 that comes with a WiFi card with the same WiFi controller reaches nearly twice the speed of this Victus, which makes me wonder if it's because of the specific M.2 WiFi card installed, or because of laptop limitations such as antennas, bus speeds et c. which also would affect an upgraded WiFi card.

      that single M.2 Slot already a dealbreaker for most people, and the screen too, gosh... It's like HP deliberately want to make their gaming product on second tier when compared to ANY other brand.
      I wouldn't even think to get this laptop... maybe any consideration to buy an HP product is their service availability, if you can easily access HP service center with available spareparts, then you might consider this (because you know, other brand such as Asus, MSI has a really bad rep in their aftersales).

    10:30 Unless you update the BIOS on the 2022 Helios 300 which caps the CPU forever at 56W PL1 / 45W PL2 (or the other way around, can't remember). 😅 Though even before I did that the behavior was very random, sometimes it'd boost to 115W, other times it'd be limited right away, and it would always stay limited the moment a GPU-intensive app was started, even after closing it, and until a reboot. Hell, the whole reason I updated the BIOS was to see if that could be fixed, but instead it just made it worse. :D And unfortunately there's no way to modify this behavior with ThrottleStop or anything, the power limits values seem to be hardcoded. It makes me think that the CPU boosting to 115W sometimes wasn't actually intended by Acer and it was "corrected" in updates.
    I'm quite happy with the Helios overall but this is one aspect that I've found rather disappointing. There's just so much performance and thermal headroom left on the table, especially when running CPU-only tasks. So ironically this Victus even with a 60W power limit (let alone the 80-90W limit in performance mode) would still be slightly superior on the CPU side, even if it had the same 12700H CPU.

    I bought this but with a Ryzen 7 (newest gen) / 144hz / RTX 4070 for around 1000 euros. The next laptop with around the same specs are at least 300 euros more expensive so this almost feels like a no brainer since my budget was 1000.
