Chassis, connections, screen of the HP Victus Gaming 15-fa1008nf

This versatile laptop for gamers and creatives that can be recharged to around 50% in 45 minutes has a relatively sober and elegant gaming look with its dark design with angular lines.

This creative gaming laptop PC integrates good connectivity with its USB-C, its Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 axis wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely, its practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example, its Ethernet and audio ports or even its 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect USB 3.0 devices.

The chiclet keyboard can be backlit, which is practical so that its keys can be better distinguished in limited ambient light.

Thanks to its refresh rate of 144Hz higher than the standard 60Hz, the screen significantly improves fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life. The screen is also very suitable for displaying High Definition content such as videos thanks to its Full HD definition and its 16:9 format. As it is anti-reflective, the screen is more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors). But if its viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, are important thanks to its IPS technology, its colorimetry is classic because we are not dealing with high-end IPS.

Performance, autonomy of the HP Victus Gaming 15-fa1008nf

The HP Victus Gaming 15-fa1008nf is a versatile 15-inch laptop that performs well in gaming and creation.

As it features the dedicated GeForce RTX 4050 ray tracing NVIDIA Ampere graphics card, this creative gaming laptop is capable of running recent games, which gamers will appreciate.

Creators will also be delighted to find the GeForce RTX 4050 because it accelerates processing under software using GPU computing power, such as VSDC, Sony Vegas or Adobe Photoshop/Premiere.

In practice, the GeForce RTX 4050 is used by NVIDIA Optimus technology to carry out graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Intel Iris Xe inserted in the processor.

Just like the GeForce RTX 4050, the Iris Xe allows you to view photos and videos but also to play modest games. As it consumes little energy it promotes autonomy.

And precisely the autonomy represents an undeniable asset for this computer because it is around 8 hours on battery in light use which nomads will appreciate as well as those looking for a Student laptop.

Still, depending on needs, Optimus switches automatically and in real time between the Intel Iris Xe and the GeForce RTX 4050.

It is the Core i5-12500H which houses the Iris Xe within it. This Intel Alder Lake-H hybrid processor is here coupled with 16 GB of RAM to provide solid general performance capable of satisfying many users.

And in particular gamers since this heart supports the GeForce RTX 4050 well in games.
But also creative people since this core ensures faster processing than a traditional Quad Core and 8 GB DDR4. We particularly feel the difference in areas that are intensive in CPU and RAM resources, taking advantage of multi-core – and therefore the 12 cores of the Core i5. This is particularly the case in photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering.

On the storage side we find a 512 GB SSD equivalent to what standard hard drives offer.
However, if you need more space, you can use an external storage unit. Favoring a USB 3.0/USB-C device then represents an advantageous option for obtaining fast transfers.

In any case, an SSD offers several advantages compared to a hard drive such as greater robustness, lower energy consumption, silent operation or even greater speed.

Daily result, the SSD guarantees much better fluidity and responsiveness than a simple hard drive.
Thanks to the SSD we benefit in particular from faster starts/stops, processing and launches of applications, or even faster arrival on online game cards.

As for heating and noise, expect them to be present in the event of heavy use (e.g. games, processing) of this versatile creative gaming laptop.

To contain the temperatures we can add to this computer a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
