I thought so too! I've seen it a few dollars cheaper around Black Friday ($450) but not with the ability to slightly customize to your preferred specs.

True! Probably shopping in a different price category altogether at that point. Not sure there are many value gaming laptop deals better than this overall for under $500.

At this price you are quite lucky to find a laptop with a dedicated GPU at all. The Costco Nitro deal was really compelling for $450 but it sold out in minutes.

I upgraded to higher refresh display and the blue color for about $20 each.

The item I'm still not certain on is the charging capability via USB-C. There are a lot of conflicting reports and the 2021 and 2022 models could not. 2023 spec says that it can charge other connected devices but no mention of if it can receive power from a strong enough USB-c adapter.

Anyone by chance know for sure with 2023 model?

The $450 Victus at Best Buy included the 144hz screen and blue chassis, so you've now paid $60 more. The $699 Victus15 i5/4060 from Walmart, which offers way more value for $190 more than you paid, was something I considered until I read about the sticking touchpads and single PCIe slot. I don't know whether HP.com is decent for returns but Walmart sure is.

HP may impose up to a 15% restocking fee. I checked online comments before placing my order in late November because of a projected January 8th shipping date (and the potential for that date to slip). Most of the comments I read indicated the fee was charged even if the order hadn't yet shipped. As the saying goes, forewarned is fairwarned, regardless of whether or not you think it is fair; you have the option not to place an order. Also note language indicating 30 day timeframe and returns over $250 need to be reviewed after request in the link below; fairly standard in retail (dollar amount will vary by company), just the process might take additional time to resolve.

Fair point! I didn't need a $750 computer after tax tho when this one exceeded my gaming needs for nearly 50% less in price. Bought the extra 8gb Samsung DDR5 matching ram for around $15 on Amazon to bring the victus up to 16gb overall and significantly cheaper than HP directly.

Still $200 less than Walmart's 12th gen offer you mentioned.
Perspective I suppose.

Using the tip WallEworld shared with obtaining/applying the $20 off coupon it allows the 144hz screen upgrade to result in a wash. So really if you don't care about the color (or prefer gray) you are only paying $20 more than the Best Buy Black Friday flash sale that had the Ryzen Victus 15 front page and still can be obtained out the door right at the $500 mark with taxes factored in.

I also read a recent article that recommended this Victus as one of the best value and capable laptops for engineering students-- so perhaps not just for those looking for gaming.

RTX 2050 is the entry level graphics card and not good for AAA titles. This is better if you do occasional gaming or photo+ video editing.
