HP's thrifty Victus 15 has a few appealing features, but its subpar gaming performance makes the base model no fun.

The HP Victus 15 is a $799, 144Hz laptop that does a great job with esports titles — but more demanding modern fare gives it a rougher time.

The HP Victus 15 isn’t powerful enough to deliver 60 FPS in many games, but it’s hard to beat for the price.

HP’s latest in its line of budget gaming laptops, the HP Victus 15, is created solely for the price-savvy buyer in mind. And even the lowest priced version can play high-end titles well while still balancing most other tasks that the user may need. We wouldn’t suggest investing in this laptop if you need something with a long battery life or a flashier appearance, but given its excellent price, this is definitely one you’ll want to consider.
