15.6-inch FHD 144 Hz gaming laptop

The HP Victus 15 FA pairs an Intel Core i5-13420H 8-core processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU and 6 GB GDDR6 memory. A 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080 IPS panel runs at 144 Hz with a 9 ms response time. 16 GB DDR4 and a 1 TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD handle memory and storage. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed.

Suits 1080p gamers and multitaskers.

The 144 Hz display and RTX 4050 6 GB combination targets smooth 1080p gameplay and everyday creative tasks. 16 GB DDR4 and 1 TB NVMe storage support current titles and general productivity. The 45% NTSC colour gamut and 250 to 300 nit brightness limit professional colour grading or bright outdoor use. Buyers needing wider gamut or higher refresh rates should look elsewhere.

Ready to use; storage upgrades need an M.2 slot

The laptop ships with Windows 11 Pro configured and tested after any customisation. Adding storage means opening the chassis to access the M.2 slot; the existing 1 TB drive occupies one position. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 connect wirelessly. Ports include two USB 3.0 Type-A, one USB 3.2 Type-C, HDMI 2.1, RJ-45 and a combo audio jack. The 720p webcam covers basic video calls.

Questions about this item

Does the laptop need any extra cables or adapters to run an external monitor from the HDMI 2.1 port?

No. The HDMI 2.1 port connects directly to a compatible monitor or TV with a standard HDMI cable. The RTX 4050 GPU drives the external display without additional hardware.

Will my existing USB 3.0 Type-A peripherals work with the two USB 3.0 Type-A ports on this machine?

Yes. Both USB 3.0 Type-A ports are backward compatible with older USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices. They also support Sleep & Charge so phones can charge while the laptop sleeps.

How can I confirm the 144 Hz panel is actually running at 144 Hz after I set up Windows 11 Pro?

Open Settings > System > Display > Advanced display and verify the refresh rate shows 144 Hz. In games, enable the on-screen frame counter to see frames matching the 144 Hz ceiling.
