HP’s Victus lineup has always been a fan favorite when it comes to getting a proper gaming laptop on a budget. And while the Victus 15 is ever dominating in the sub 150,000 NPR market in Nepal, the Victus 16: its beefier brother had been missing. That’s not the case anymore and now you can get the big bro Victus 16 from HP in Nepal that too for a sweet sweet price. In this short piece, we’ll briefly touch on the different aspects of the HP Victus 16 (2024) gaming laptop, its specs and features, and finally the pricing and availability. 

HP Victus 16 (2024) Overview 

Design and Display 

Starting off with the Victus DNA, the 16-inch gaming laptop is made entirely out of plastic but features a sturdier build than its 15-inch sibling. It also has larger dimensions, weighs a bit extra, and has an improved thermal design, which we’ll talk about in the performance section. The ports are still located on the left and right sides, with the back completely left for ventilation.  On the front, the large 16.1-inch screen is suitable for gaming, although the resolution is limited to Full HD and the refresh rate to 144Hz on the sole Nepalese variant. The brightness also maxes out at just 300 nits. But, HP says the response time is less than 10ms, and the panel can display 100% of the standard sRGB colors, which is nice to see. We do hope that higher-end variants with brighter and faster panels also make their way here in the future. 

Performance and Memory 

Powering the Victus 16 is a Zen 4-based Ryzen 7 8845HS that can clock up to an impressive 5.1GHz. It’s your standard 8-core 16-thread configuration fabbed on TSMC’s 4nm process. So, expect good efficiency on top of great overall CPU performance. The integrated Radeon 780M graphics is quite capable on its own but the star of the show is definitely NVIDIA’s RTX 4070.  The GeForce RTX 4070 in the HP Victus 16 (2024) can go up to plenty 120W, although we have found most laptop 4070 GPUs to cap around 100W while gaming. To cool this, there are dual fans on either side of the laptop, heat pipes over the CPU and GPU, and thermal paste on the processors. For memory, this variant ships with 16GB of DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. The 8GB sticks can be user-replaced with higher-capacity ones for further expansion. Similarly, the 500GB NVME drive can be replaced with a higher capacity M.2 2280/2242 SSD. It’s unclear whether this exact variant has an extra M.2 slot or not but the Victus 16 generally has an extra slot over the smaller 15.

Ports and Battery 

The port situation could be a little sweeter as well. The Type-C port on the Victus 16 is just a 5Gbps port (with PD and DP support) and not the faster USB-4 standard. The three USB-A ports are also the same USB 3.2 Gen 1 based while the HDMI is version 2.1. There’s also an RJ45 slot, 3.5mm jack, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3.
