Excellent productivity performance ; Solid 1080p gaming performance ; Comfortable keyboard ; Display is good for both productivity and gaming ; Reasonably priced

Build quality is subpar ; Keyboard backlighting is limited ; Poor battery life

HP's Victus 16 Gaming Laptop Impressed Us With Its Performance and Price

The Victus balances affordability and solid gaming power with only a couple of shortcomings you might expect for its price.

HP Victus 16 Review

HP's new Victus 16 is a good budget gaming laptop, but it commits the sin that the best in its class avoid—its cost-cutting design pokes through in several key ways.

HP Victus 16 review: This 16-inch gaming laptop delivers solid value

HP's Victus 16 d0097nr offers decent performance inside a roomy, 16-inch chassis that delivers what gamers care most about for a reasonable price.

A low sticker price helps usher this budget 16-inch gaming laptop into a select circle of gaming notebooks worth buying.
