'Entry level' gaming laptops don't come with 16gb ram and 512gb storage. They come with 8gb ram and 256gb storage. This isn't an 'entry level' gaming laptop. It's one step up.

I wanted a review of this laptop as I considered it for review. I found your video VERY helpful. You deserve many many more views. Keep up great work!

I just purchased this and was very concerned about the screen wobble. Currently my screen is solid, no wobble at all. Time will tell.

Just purchased Victus 16 few days ago and I can say the laptop is excellent. Mine has no obvious wobble. The only problem is the battery life (about 5hrs)

Bought the laptop after watching this video (But mostly due to the sale, i bought for just 550£, imagine a 3050lap for 550£). Thanks man. The laptop's fine. Wobble is alright not too bad. But for the price i bought, i am definitely not complaining. My old laptop i bought it for 440£, it was a ryzen 5 3600 laptop, internal vega graphics. So it was a good upgrade for me.

Great review. I was able to understand about the product really well in order for me to better decide on whether I should purchase it or pass on it.

Sad.. the victus i own (2021 model) is a great, understated Omen substitute with:

I7 11800H, (16) 32 Gb RAM, (0, 5) 1, 5 Tb Nvme, RTX 3060 (original spec)

The Victus 2022 can't even be specced with the 3060 anymore. I really would've liked to see the line advance, but it's getting less performance actually.

Still: mine is great, as are the 2022 models. The screen wobble is a non issue: despite carrying it daily and using it extensively throughout the last year, the hinges are as sturdy as day one. Although you might be annoyed using it in an earthquake with magnitude 9 and higher😏

I am looking into buying this laptop and this video was very helpful - it’s informative and straight to the point. Appreciate it!

I just brought one this past weekend and it very nice.

If you don't have 20/20 vision, it is imperative to purchase a laptop with backlit lighting. Without it, there will be eye fatigue and subsequent loss in vision acuity.

It's a nice laptop, I got it 2 days ago it played my games beautiful [graphics] .Today it wont turn on ! says something not right with windows. Never had this happen before with a pc. EA games took forever to load. sending this pc back .

[Anwit]

Nice Review. You Were Very clear and unbiased. Keep it Up

[MOTHIATMAN]

Is the hinge and wobble better or worse than 2021 model (victus 16)? Pls let me know as both are available for same price here. If hinge and wobble not improver than older than I would go old one coz it has slightly better specs.

This video is very helpful, I was planning on getting to tomorrow and this helped 😊

[shadinafi]

Any thoughts on the graphic designing programs like after effects?

[Tekz]

This laptop is NOTORIOUS for it's screen wobble.

[metaslavery]

I’m thinking of getting one for school work and light gaming. How long will the battery life be doing light work on a Ryzen 7, Rx 6500M, 16gb ram, 144hz. And is there any settings to extend the battery life?

[RajendraKumar-rbpc]

Didn't expect katakuri vs luffy though. Good one!

[MagnumDrex]

Anybody got problems with the video drivers? Mine disconnects when it projects to a tv wirelessly. It also stops playing videos on youtube after a while. I had go disable the AMD Ryzen and Nvidia Gtx 1650 drivers. It is a major disappointment.
