It would work if you are fine with the quick drain in battery life.

Umm laptops with dGPUs use Optimus. This will use the Intel iGPU 99% of the time (unless you strictly use GPU intensive apps).

I have this model, but with the 3050. It's probably one of the worst laptops I have had the misfortune of using.

Screen is incredibly dim. The trackpad is the worst trackpad I've used on a windows laptop in a loooong time. The Keyboard is mushy and lacks any positive typing feedback. No thunderbolt really sucks but might not be a deal breaker for some. The USB A ports are incredibly tight (tight enough to make me nervous pulling usb drives out of)

It doesnt get too hot, it plays games fine (yeah i know 3050 vs 1650 here) but unless it is 100% (and I mean 100) hooked up to an external dock/monitor, look somewhere else. As soon as you actually have to use this thing as a laptop you will be shooting you self in the foot
Thank you for writing this, I almost pulled the trigger. Looking for an inexpensive gaming laptop for my teenager.

You can if you add an additional 8GB RAM since it requires a minimum of 16GB RAM.

It is only $27.99 from Crucial: https://www.crucial.com/memory/dd...ct23404924 [crucial.com]
(The process should be fairly easy and you can check on YouTube how to add it)

If you ever need more storage for games you can just buy a cheap 1TB external drive for $24.99 here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/294896500392
(These are like-new and hold a two-year warranty)

If you want to check out Crucial for more or any other upgrades for this particular model: https://www.crucial.com/compatibl...5-fa0031dx [crucial.com]
thank you!!

Just ordered one of these with additional 8GB memory for $550 with tax, free shipping, arriving Fri.

We host game nights with our friends, sometimes board games or video (Xbox / PS) or a LAN party. Not all our friends have a personal laptop and this way I can have it preloaded with the games we'll be playing.

I and my family have nicer laptops for ourselves but If this works out I may order a few more for guests to use.

Funny, have 4 others, 2 Spectre 360, 1 Elite Folio, and an Omen desktop that have been flawless for me.

Manufacturer s getting desperate due to inflation and the new Raptor lakes are significantly better than Alder Lake laptops like this one.

If price was not a factor, nor the comments people made.
Which of these 3 would you pick ?

This Victus, the MSI, or the Galaxy Pro ?

Please I want your opinions.
