HP Victus 15.6-inch 144Hz FHD Laptop, Intel Core i5-12450H, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 GPU (4GB dedicated), Windows 11 Home, 15-fa1029nr (2024)
This is the first gaming laptop I’ve owned. It’s also the first Windows laptop I’ve owned in years. I wasn’t sure if I should buy a decent gaming laptop without spending a lot of money. Then I came across this laptop. I was initially disappointed that I couldn’t get the keyboard to work. However, when I discovered that it was backlit, I was much happier with my purchase. Do I wish it had more memory? Sure, but since I play games like The Sims and Powerwashing Simulator, this laptop has the specs to get the job done. The only thing I don’t particularly like is the trackpad. They tend to click in unexpected ways, but wired and wireless mice are there for a reason. I also wish there was a second SSD slot to add more storage.
