disconnect the battery, then hold the power button for 5 seconds to discharge it before upgrading the ram/memory slots.

Thanks to your review, I've convinced myself this laptop are worth the price and I'm getting one tmrw. Love your vids!

Thank you, friend. Took me 20 minutes, everything worked a charm. I didn't even bust the plastic.

I don't know about calling it a cheaper model when the 2024 laptop is 979 dollars. I just bought it and the model can handle anything I threw at it. Very capable for a mid-range.

This vid helped me do big girl computer stuff on my own which I’ve never done before, so thank you!!😊

Just got the Victus 16 2024 model and the specs are a Ryzen 7 8845hs and a RTX 4070 with 16gb ddr5 ram for 899 from Best Buy!

I have same pc and got 8 gb ram added for now. I only pay $20 so real cheap!! Later I will go 32 or 64 down the road. Love it!!!

I just completed my RAM upgrade a few minutes ago. Here are my thoughts:
1) There's no way I could've unhinged the plastic prongs without my new prying tool. I also had used the mini screwdriver to hold each corner up to be sure they wouldn't click back into place, but I was just nervous. I suggest getting the prying tool rather than the mini guitar pick ones because the leverage is so much better and it's around the same price as the 10 packs of picks.
2) When inputting the RAM sticks, insert at a diagonal and gently push down until it clicks into place. I got two 16 GB sticks to be sure 100% they are compatible (anyone want my extra stick from the build lol). I didn't insert the second one at a diagonal before pushing down, so it didn't click into place. Removing and reinserting was a hassle.
3) Unless you are also replacing the SSD, there's no setup once you turn it on.

I'm pretty happy with my purchase, I'll be using this for college so I'm glad everything worked out. I choose 32 GB of RAM to be 100% sure there's no issues in the future, but I don't see the need to increase HD space with cloud storage. I'll probably only play a few games at a time on here anyway, so I don't mind reinstalling games.

Every video I've watched with the removal of the back plate to the Victus 15 implies the thing is almost welded on.

Can u please demonstrate the performance after upgrading to 32gigs

[DrcuriousYT]

I see at Best Buy they have the same specs as you but with a 4070, for about 899

I just got this and slammed in a 32GB myself. Playing RE4R on high settings at 60FPS and it's using 62% of the RAM. This is a real good deal for the price.

I just bought this. I want to use it for some last gen games and light VR. I know it won't be a powerhouse. Do you think I'll notice any difference with 32gb of ram? How about if I add a 16GB stick for a total of 24? I want to play Star Wars Squadrons, hopefully in VR, Halo Infinite and similar titles

[brothersgamers]

How long does the battery last when used for studying, browsing the internet and light applications? If you have already tested it, I would like to know how many hours you got on one charge. Also, great video!

[alegreviews]

I took 8GB from one of them and put into another to make it 16GB.
And I put 2x16GB Crucial 5600 into the first one.

[johnathonready]

Bought the laptop today from walmart, and ordered a 16gb stick off amazon. Gonna rock 24gb of ram for now, and eventually get another 16gb stick and a 2tb samsung drive. The ssd in the laptop is miles slower than the one on my desktop, and its been kind of a drag. Its also annoying seeing this thing cap out with only a few tabs open with 8gb of ram, I havnt had this little in a decade.

[Phoenix-jdyf]

Hey i was wondering if you used it with its original windows install or did u do a clean installation? Ive heard online its better to do a clean install to remove bloatware from the laptop but im curios to hear your opinion before i do anything

EDIT: also a video comparing the 16GB vs 32GB would be nice as im still considering if i should get the same 8gb stick from ebay or buy a new 16x2 set
I got a score of 4239 on Furmark (8GB)

[mime]

Wow changing RAM. Nobody can do that for sure.

[FreshMickey]

What size screwdriver do you need for the screws on the back panel?

[ExtremelySkilledGamer]

How is gaming performance after the upgrade?
