To all the above this Victus with 6GB 3050 is a HUGE jump over a 3050 with 4GB and a 2050. The Victus looks to only come in a 95W variant and if thats the 6GB variant in the HP you will see frames per second increases of over 30-50% over a 4GB or 2050. Those are HUGE numbers. Yes the trade off is you get a crummy screen, but you know for $550 hard to complain, also need to upgrade the ram to at least 16GB. So unless you want to spend like a baller, this is one of the best deals on a gaming laptop you can get for people on a budget.

I posted the Walmart $480 deal and posted the videos of the frames side by side of the different graphics card on the exact same games from youtube if you want to see for yourself.

Hoping to snag a openbox under $500 with all the people who returned theres cause the screen was not pretty enough for them LMAO .

Also to the guy complaining about cores, even now most applications dont go past two cores if even that when it comes to being coded.... So your rage is very uninformed. If your gaming on a entry level laptop you wont be having multiple applications in the background, running your stream studio off it, and who else knows what... Major lack of realistic expectations and knowledge.

Got it. So glad this came back. Since it's listed as a BF deal, I didn't realize it would disappear the first time.

Hi everyone, I am looking to buy a gaming laptop (first foray into PC gaming). Is this OK for gaming?

I was also eyeing the Asus Laptop at Costco up for 799.

I understand the Asus would be better, but how much better?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Get this deal, or stick with the HP Victus Laptop: 15.6" FHD 144Hz, Ryzen 5 7535HS, RTX 2050, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD $450 ?

Big differences I'm seeing is the processor (Ryzen vs Intel) and Graphics card (RTX 2050 vs 3050)

Difference be tween this one and the walmart deal. I5-11400h. The walmart deal has the trx 3050 with 4 Gs. This one has the trx 3050 with 6g. Would two more g's make that big of a difference? Is this deal really worth the extra $100 over the walmart deal? I am looking for a decent laptop for my son, he games and mostly plays fortenite.

These 4P/4E CPUs shouldn't exist. I don't get why these don't have 8 e-cores. Even at slightly lower clocks to reach the same TDP they would perform much better at web and multithreaded productivity application, in addition to newer games.

Thanks so much mate, and sorry here is what I had referred to (Costco, but also ran across a best buy) :

Again, really appreciate your input--I am making the switch from console to PC and there is a lot to learn.

So your recommendation is to skip this and pay more for 8 e-cores? I'm trying to spend less than $600 on a computer that can run games at 1080p and I was thinking of buying this over the Walmart $470 rtx 3050 laptop.

ScratchchinPlease help me decide. This one? or the $449 victus with AMD 5 and nvidia 2050? It's only for my daughter who plays minecraft, robox, fortnite and valorant. Thanks.

Edit: Also this Lenovo LOQ [costco.com]?

No not the same spec as the $550 victus. Although they have the same GPU Nvidia rtx 2050 as the $450 victus, the Lenovo LOQ has i5 processor compared to ryzen 5 of the victus. What is making me consider this LOQ is the extra NVMe slot for storage. Victus only have 1 NVMe slot. Just not sure if it's worth the extra $50.
