Chassis, connections, screen of the HP Victus Gaming 15-fb3701nf

With its dark angular design, this versatile gaming and creative-oriented laptop has a rather sober gamer look.

In terms of connectivity, this creative gaming laptop is well equipped with its USB-C in addition to its 2 USB 3.0 thanks to which you can easily connect peripherals (eg: headset, mouse, external storage), its practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example, its latest generation Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless modules for connections and remote communications without forgetting its Ethernet and audio ports.

The chiclet keyboard obviously has a backlighting solution that is useful in the dark because you just have to activate it to better discern the keys.

The Full HD screen adopts a frequency of 144Hz providing greater fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life than the classic 60Hz.
Equipped with significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its IPS technology, the screen, which lends itself well to displaying videos due to its 16:9 format, is content (unsurprisingly) with classic colorimetry, lower than that provided by high-end IPS.
In any case, the screen is adorned with an anti-reflective coating ensuring better visibility in a bright environment (eg outdoors) than a shiny panel.

Performance, autonomy of the HP Victus Gaming 15-fb3701nf

The HP Victus Gaming 15-fb3701nf is a versatile 15-inch performance laptop focused on gaming and creation.

It delivers solid general performance that will satisfy many users.
Because it is built around 16 GB of RAM and an AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS processor Hawk Point equipped with 6 cores and the Radeon 760M graphics solution.

The Ryzen 5 8645HS is more suitable than a Quad Core for carrying out processing that is intensive in processor resources using multi-core, performing them faster, such as photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering.

Creative people will appreciate it, especially if they use applications that take advantage of GPU computing power because processing is then accelerated by the dedicated onboard graphics card, which is particularly the case with Vegas, VSDC or the Adobe suite.

If the GeForce RTX 2050 ray tracing graphics card from the old generation NVIDIA Ampere will interest creators, gamers too if they are content to play light to modest games.

In any case, whether with the Radeon 760M or the GeForce RTX 2050 ray tracing, watching HD photos and videos is possible.

A switch is made automatically between the two depending on needs.
And it is the NVIDIA Optimus technology which takes care of it, favoring the Radeon 760M as much as possible while its performance is lower because it consumes little energy which favors the autonomy which here is around 5 hours of operation on battery in light use.

Logically given the positioning of this versatile laptop, HP opts in terms of storage for a very fast, energy-efficient and silent SSD which contributes to the good responsiveness and overall fluidity provided here.

Concretely, starts/stops, processing and launches of games/software are carried out quickly here, as is the arrival on the online game cards.

With its 512 GB, the SSD can accommodate a lot of files, games and software, a standard capacity that is also available in (much) more expensive configurations.

Of course, if you need additional space, you can use an external storage unit. To maximize transfer speed, we recommend connecting a USB 3.0/USB-C device rather than USB 2.0.

Let’s also mention the scalable aspect of this versatile laptop which offers a free RAM slot to increase it if necessary (for example for even faster processing).

As for the temperatures and noise generated, expect them to rise when this versatile gaming and creation-oriented laptop PC is pushed hard (e.g. processing, games).
To limit its temperatures we can couple it with a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
