The HP Victus 16.1 Gaming Laptop is a Gem
The HP Victus 16.1 Gaming Laptop has Amazing Functionality and Portability.
The Victus laptop has a numeric pad that I can use for easy entry of spreadsheet data or mathematic computations, and the numeric pad has a dedicated key for the calculator, which is very handy. The size of the laptop makes it more portable than the larger 17-inch laptops, and the lighter materials that were used in the build of this laptop (i.e. the use of more plastic than metal) make it easier to carry. I like the customization options for the Victus line that lets you choose different colors (I chose white). The higher specs that I opted for also make it twice more powerful than my previous gaming laptop and was purchased at less than half the price that I purchased my last gaming laptop (granted I purchased this Victus laptop during a special sale).
The laptop is pre-programed for the easy use of HyperX Headphones, to plug in the wireless USB for the headphones and instantly use them (without needing to manually change the audio output and microphone input from the system settings). The Victus laptop has a dedicated key to the Omen Gaming Hub, which is very useful tool for organizing and optimizing your laptop's games; the gaming hub also provides information on your computer's performance anytime during the laptop's use, even during laptop gaming, by providing a hotkey for making the performance gauges of the laptop's hardware appear for viewing. The Omen Gaming Hub also has a shortcut to the Fanatical Gaming Store that provides discounted prices for games provided through the Steam Game Store or the Xbox Game Store. The Omen Gaming Hub also notifies you of hardware deals from HyperX that may be of interest. Finally, the Omen Gaming Hub is also the program to change the backlight function and color of your keyboard; since my laptop is white-colored, I really appreciate changing the backlight of my keyboard from white to a different color that I want.

Nice gaming laptop - I'm happy
the keyboard feels awkward, the touchpad is offset from the keyboard home row, takes some getting use to. The numeric keypad is not needed. Sound needs more volume, display needs to be brighter. Altogether, it's still a nice gaming laptop and plays my games fine. I did have to do a clean windows reload because of an error. This seems to have made the screen brighter now. There may have been some graphics drivers conflicts

Good mid range gaming laptop
Bought this for my kids to use as they are growing into PC gaming. So far they are really enjoying it. It runs everything they have tried without any issues. Upgraded to a faster 2TB ssd for more space. The design looks and feels pretty solid, and the 16.1 inch screen is nice and clear.

Broken Laptop
the laptop would be great if the speakers worked properly OR if finding out how to get the issue fixed would be easier to figure out

This Victor is Great ! HDMI for 2 monitors, Superb.
No more space hogs on my desk !
I've been a desktop user since the 80's, and laptops were nice, but dealing with Big Hands and no mouse was just NOT for me.

Love it
I think it is great! Smooth and good sized. I love the white. I'm not a tech savvy girl, so can't comment on the exact specs. But I'm happy with it. Only downside is the speaker isn't very loud. But that's my only complaint.

Nice gaming laptop that can do everything graphics related
Great laptop: 60HZ display turns out to be ok for me. I am not a super gamer or a gamer but occasional/rare gaming this laptop is good enough. Coupled with AMEX offer I got a good deal out of it!

It didn't even turn on.
I looked into the gaming laptop market for a while, since this was my first time buying a gaming laptop I didn't want to disappoint myself by my own decision. Victus indeed caught my eyes amongst other great products from many companies, and became the last candidate to be chosen. Delivery was on time, however, it didn't turn on. It's not like my first time using a laptop computer, and I know how to turn computers on, but it just didn't. It was a big disappointment. Could have checked if the selling product is still a product, meaning it is actually working to satisfy customer needs.

Exceeded expectations.
Exceeded expectations. Good battery life, running all my games at higher graphics then last laptop. I saw a lot of reviews saying the screen wobbles if you move computer even slightly but I use it on my lap while I'm lying or sitting on couch all the time and it doesn't wobble at all.
Zero regrets with this computer.
