HP Victus 16-e0162AX 5th Gen Ryzen 5-5600H (2021)

The media could not be loaded.  I bought this laptop for ₹62,000, (although the price dips at times to ₹58,990). It is one of the best laptops in this price segment considering both it's performance and functionality.Pros:1. It has the Radeon 5500m graphics card, which is better than the GTX 1650, that you will find in other similar, lower and even some higher priced laptops. The 5500m can easily run all recent titles at medium to high settings, 1080p 60fps. In older games like battlefield 1, GTA 5, Metro Redux, etc you can crank the settings to ultra and the fps will remain at 60fps.2. The Ryzen 5 5600H is a beast of a processor and can handle anything that you can throw at it.3. The 70 watt hour battery (compared to the 50 watt hour that you will find in other laptops) easily gives around 6hrs of normal use e.g. browsing, youtube, video playback, a bit of photoshop etc. while the other laptops in the price segment can hardly manage 4hrs.4. The build quality is amazing. Its made for people, like students who need a daily driver laptop which can game and at the same time does not look too flashy. Its functional, the keyboard is good, mousepad feels good to use and the overall build quality is great.5. Viewing angles are great, no glare or reflections as it is a matt finish screen.Cons:1. The fan intake vents are on either sides of the laptop. So if you are using the laptop, keeping it on your lap, the fan intakes will get blocked. You will have to keep a hard, flat base underneath in order to prevent the intakes from getting blocked.2. The laptop is a bit heavy and if you are thinking of keeping it on your lap and using it, good luck. Your legs are going to go numb in a very short time.3. The screen does not get very bright. So it will be difficult to use it outside, under direct sunlight.*Note:In many online reviews you will find complains about screen wobbling, but the issue is not as much as they are making it to be. The screen has a normal amount of wobble which you will find in most other similar sized laptops.And if you are looking for a laptop for gaming only, don't buy this. Rather go for something with a 3050. This is good for casual gaming (it can run all games but you'll have to compromise on the graphics a bit) but not for playing all games at maxed settings and streaming at the same time.I've run the following games on this laptop and all of them work great:Days GoneNFS HeatGTA 5Battlefield 1Metro ReduxDishonored 1 & 2

The media could not be loaded.  I have been using this laptop for 4 day's had great experience while using it after a complete windows setup and driver's update, but for the driver's update for amd "CPU+GPU" driver's pls use AMD-Adrenalin software so that the graphics driver's are upto date and by this your experience will be lagg free for normal and especially for gaming and the battery life is to significantly improved .This type of Performance is top-notch for the price to performance ratio in this laptop .No heating issues at all while gaming "Game name-Genshin impact" at high settings the temperature went upto 83 degree Celsius with fan speed at Max and cooled down soon as the game is closed. The room temperature was 27-28 degree Celsius and still had great thermal efficiency nice work HP-VICTUS. The game was played on charging for 2hrs continuously.People were talking about screen wobbling issue yes it has screen wobbling but it's not an issue actually due to bigger screen it wobbels but yes HP-VICTUS Engineer should look after it but the hinges are good, That's why if the screen wobbled with the movement of hinges then it would be a problem but the hinges are tight just the screen itself wobbles so no need to worry about this screen wobbling ✌️.Keyboard and trackpad are good and responsive so good for it and fast boot speed ,The only thing is the camera quality it's poor it's ok not an great issue but it's competitors has good one so that's the only con of it.So the final conclusion for this laptop is great you can go for it without any hesitation ✌️?And it comes with the free x-box game pass and Microsoft office lifetime validity for free .

Gaming - 10/10, fps in most latest welldemanding games is well above 50 range. Thermals- 5/10, in ambient room temp of 35-40+ range the thermals are below average only while playing games like red dead redemption 2. The gpu temp touches 85+ degrees c. But if you have AC room that is not a problem. In the long run the gpu life is affected a lot by high temps. So better thermals would have been appreciated here. But whilst idle, the thermals are good enough. Roughly in the range of 50-60degrees c. Fan mode doesnot help much if your ambient temps are high. Rx 5500m is very close to rtx 3050 without dlss of nvidia. Ofcourse after dlss rtx wins easily in supported games.Battery- 10/10, easily getting 8-10hours of backup surfing web and watching videos..and Charging is very fast.Display - 7/10, just above average and what you expect from this range gaming laptops. 60 hertz is just okay. Not extremely enjoyeable multimedia experience.Sound speakers- 6/10, average again, with vlc you can increase to 200% volume but it can damage the speakers in long run. Earphone sound is great.Camera-5/10 , just average class.Overall performance- 9/10, great performance in totality. And best to get it on sales when it goes as low as 55k range.Overall can't go wrong with this in the 55k range.

A good lap with fast performance.. if opting for gaming use separate monitor. MS office is really useful.. if yu need a gaming lap with ms office best to go for this..I din't see any drawbacks so far..No hanging issue or lag issue..Playing 4 games now it's cool till now..

Amazing for this price range! And even though its only a 60Hz screen, still when you look at the screen, it appears like an AMOLED screen, such is the clarity and color efficiency. Thermals are amazing. Gaming is superb. Definitely recommended.

Best laptop with dedicated graphic card for sixty six k. Performance is awesome. I use it for heavy programming and there is no heat issues unless you place it on your laps. I love this laptop. If it is on offer, go for it.

Battery is big but it lasts maximum 2 hours, in early days it gives me around 3 to 4 hours backup but now it's it is at this stage,It heats a lot, and the build quality is the worst..So plz don't buy this garbage...??

We bought this and replaced due to Software issues and it has not been solved. We have reached out multiple times to Amazon but they have been cancelling the return pick-up and not able to provide solution to it yet.

Hi, after using it for 15 days, It is very good for casual gaming, office work, browsing, etc. I am disappointed only with the brightness, and the screen flicker. It could have been better. But yes the overall product performance is good and value for money under 58k. Played many titles God of War 5, Cyberpunk, Wildlands, Battlefield 5, GTA5, Forza 5 etc at high setting and got decent fps.
