HP Victus 15-fa2013dx Core-i5 13th Gen, 8GB, 512GB, RTX 3050 6GB, 1080p 144Hz, Black New in 1 Yr Intl. Warranty

The HP Victus 15-fa2013dx is a gaming laptop designed to offer a solid balance of modern performance and affordability. It is equipped with a powerful 13th Generation Intel Core i5-13420H processor, which features a hybrid architecture with 8 cores (4 performance and 4 efficient) and 12 threads, allowing for boost clock speeds up to 4.6 GHz. This strong CPU is paired with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU with a 6 GB GDDR6 dedicated memory, which is capable of handling current popular games at Full HD resolution with decent frame rates and supports features like ray tracing and DLSS for enhanced visuals. For memory and storage, the laptop comes standard with 8 GB of DDR4-3200 MHz RAM and a fast 512 GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive (SSD), providing quick boot times and rapid data access, though the 8GB RAM is often considered the minimum for modern gaming and multitasking, and is typically expandable via its two SODIMM slots.

Key to the gaming experience is the laptop’s display, a 15.6-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS panel that features a high 144 Hz refresh rate. This fast refresh rate ensures smooth, fluid visuals that are crucial for competitive gaming by reducing motion blur and ghosting. The screen also has an anti-glare coating and offers a brightness of around 300 nits, making it suitable for indoor use. Design-wise, the Victus 15-fa2013dx sports a sleek, modern aesthetic in a “Mica Silver” finish, deviating from the more aggressive look of some traditional gaming laptops. Connectivity is robust, including Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, along with a comprehensive array of ports, such as HDMI 2.1, an RJ-45 Ethernet port, and a mix of USB Type-A and USB Type-C ports (with DisplayPort 1.4a and HP Sleep and Charge support). The laptop also includes a backlit keyboard with a numeric keypad and is powered by a 3-cell, 52.5 Wh Li-ion polymer battery, supporting HP Fast Charge.
