design
Its exterior is elegant with a matte finish that feels delicate to the touch. Chrome “V” cuts the sharp blue color of the roof, indicating the name of the series. Detail for punctuation: The passing of the fingers sometimes leaves traces that need to be removed with a cloth. When you open it, the keyboard appears with letters of straight lines, as well as subtle, illuminated and numeric keys to the right. At the core we find a cooling system that deals with video games. The side frames are small and The screen occupies almost 84% of the surface.
ᲨPerformance
The model released by the manufacturer in Argentina (features vary by market) has a processor 11th generation Core i5 and 8 GB RAM, Two items that may be scarce for the most demanding video games, but performed well in our tests. It takes just ten seconds to boot the operating system that comes with Windows 11 on a device that we only use with a few installed programs; Naturally, it takes a few more seconds to run during use. The key to its velocity is the existence of a 512 GB hard drive (This storage option offers better performance compared to a mechanical hard drive or HDD), except for the graphics card Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 with 4 GB GDDT6 memory.
Screen features are important for video game users and in this case we can not find any great specs. As the name of the product suggests, the display is about 16 inches (exactly 16.1), has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a good viewing angle (178 degrees). The detail is at this point Update frequency, 60 HzA figure that lags behind the demands of the sector and seems to be underdeveloped in an industry in which, at least, There are several mobile phones with a frequency of 120 Hz On the screen. However, the visual experience is sharp and enjoyable, mainly thanks to a system that eliminates flicker.
It has a USB-C port, three traditional USB ports, HDMI, plus an SD card slot, but no Thunderbolt. With a quick contrast, the webcam is 720p with 88-degree field of view and does not have a privacy lock; The battery boasts up to 50% charge in just half an hour; It has Wi-Fi 6 support (state-of-the-art) and comes with an Omen Gaming Hub environment to help you customize and customize aspects of software as well as hardware.
The computer is resistant to the naked eye, and a close inspection reveals the presence of plastic in its casing. The manufacturer emphasizes a reasonable and appreciated aspect: this applies to materials resistant to oceans. In experience, it does not lose resistance, although plastic will always be plastic.
Price
The model, which came out in our country, shows the lights and shadows when checking from the always demanding perspective of video game users. PriceOr the proposed 180,999 pesosThe HP Victus 16 is also a powerful option for casual users to take advantage of gamer-specific specifications, which also speeds up the most in-demand applications (3D design, audio and video coding, multimedia editing, etc.).
