Chassis, connections, screen of the HP Victus Gaming 15-fa0078nf
Rechargeable to approximately 50% in 45 minutes, this versatile, gamer-oriented and creative laptop has a rather discreet appearance for a model that adopts gamer codes with its dark design with angular lines.
This creative gaming laptop PC offers good connectivity with its USB-C, its Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, its practical HDMI video output for easily connecting it to a TV or a monitor for example, its Ethernet and audio ports without forgetting its 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 when USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.
Those who want to be able to discern the keys when the ambient light is reduced can activate the chiclet keyboard’s backlighting system.
Players will be delighted that the screen has a refresh rate of 144Hz higher than the standard 60Hz because this improves overall fluidity, including in games. With its 16:9 format and Full HD definition, the screen is also suitable for videos and more generally for High Definition content. The screen also has significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, thanks to its IPS technology which is however not high-end since the colorimetry is classic here. In addition, thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is more readable in a bright environment (eg outdoors) than a shiny panel.
Performances, autonomie de l’HP Victus Gaming 15-fa0078nf
The HP Victus Gaming 15-fa0078nf is a versatile 15-inch high-performance laptop PC focused on gaming and creation.
It delivers good general performance which will satisfy many users. Because it is driven by an Intel Alder Lake-H Core i5-12450H hybrid processor associated with a good amount of 16 GB RAM.
This core notably ensures much faster processing than a classic Quad/Hexa Core and 8 GB DDR4/5. The difference is very noticeable under work requiring CPU and RAM resources using multi-core (and therefore the 8 cores of the Core i5), such as photo editing, 3D rendering or video editing.
Creative people will therefore appreciate this heart, especially as it is supported by the dedicated GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card. Because it accelerates processing under software taking advantage of GPU computing power (e.g. VSDC, Sony Vegas, Adobe Photoshop/Premiere).
Equipped with the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the GeForce RTX 3050 ray tracing will also interest players who are not too demanding. Because for concessions under the opuses that consume 3D resources, it is capable of running many games.
The GeForce RTX 3050 is in fact activated/deactivated automatically and in real time by NVIDIA Optimus technology depending on the tasks performed.
This GPU is used to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Intel Iris Xe graphics solution housed in the Core i5, typically for gaming.
Whether with the Iris Xe or the GeForce RTX 3050, you can watch photos and videos but also play light games. The Iris Xe is used to the maximum by Optimus because it consumes little energy, which promotes autonomy.
In this area, expect around 8 hours on battery in light use with a 70Whr battery (to be confirmed), which will interest some people looking for a high-performance versatile student laptop.
Depending on needs, Optimus automatically switches in real time between the Iris Xe and the GeForce RTX 3050.
On the storage side we find an SSD which rivals the standard of hard drives in terms of capacity with its 512 GB while being more robust, quiet, less energy consuming and much faster.
The SSD thus provides much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a hard drive.
Thanks to the SSD, games/software launches, processing and starts/stops are carried out more quickly and we can, for example, reach online game cards more quickly.
Of course, in the event that 512 GB is too tight, we can rely on an external storage module such as a USB 3.0/USB-C device to obtain fast transfers.
Finally, expect this versatile gaming and creation-oriented laptop PC to heat up and make itself heard when pushed hard (e.g. processing, games).
And ventilated support can be used in addition to limit temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
