Chassis, connections, screen of the HP Victus 16-s0085nf
With its angular performance blue design, this versatile gaming and creative-oriented laptop that can be recharged to 50% in 30 minutes has an original gamer appearance.
To take full advantage of the capabilities of this gaming laptop, you must install a complete operating system, such as a Linux or Windows distribution.
For example, we can take advantage of NVIDIA Optimus technology which evaluates graphics needs in real time based on the tasks performed.
When the performance of the graphics solution integrated into the processor proves insufficient, Optimus automatically switches in real time to the dedicated graphics card.
The integrated solution is used to the maximum by Optimus despite its much lower performance because it consumes little energy, which favors autonomy compared to the more demanding and powerful dedicated GPU. With one or the other, you can obviously watch photos and videos.
This 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 monitor for example, its Ethernet and audio ports as well as its 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) providing transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug peripherals into it USB 3.0.
The chiclet keyboard has a backlighting solution that you simply activate whenever you need to better discern your keys.
The screen adopts a refresh rate of 144Hz higher than the 60Hz standard to provide better fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life.
The Full HD screen is suitable for videos due to its 16:9 format and benefits from significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically, thanks to its IPS technology.
However, this is not high-end, so the colorimetry here is classic.
As it has an anti-reflective treatment, the screen is more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors).
