The holiday season means that Amazon is running attractive discounts on powerful gaming laptops, and those featuring the laptop version of the RTX 4070 are definitely worth the money when delivering incredible performance on a budget. However, none of those options can hold a candle compared to what the HP Victus 16 brings to the table, as it is the most affordable RTX 4070-powered machine on the online retailer, available for just $1,088.
The 16.1-inch IPS LCD resonates a 1920 x 1080 resolution and supports up to a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz. For some reason, HP used a bigger display but chose to stick with the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio instead of the 16:10 one, which gives users more vertical screen real estate to work with. Regardless, the specifications include the 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU, along with the RTX 4070 with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM.
When it comes to gaming at the 1080p resolution, the aforementioned configuration is more than plentiful. Also, the efficiency of the Ryzen 7 8845HS is such that you can net a few hours from the HP Victus 16 away from the wall for when you want to sit at your favorite coffee shop. The most affordable configuration ships with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB of PCIe NVMe storage, which should deliver an ‘above average’ experience, but bear in mind that various games require heaps of storage, and their memory requirements are slowly increasing.
Aside from these details, the pricing is quite exceptional for something featuring an RTX 4070. We have seen several RTX 4060 machines that are more expensive than this, so it is a phenomenal deal that you should check out. Then again, you better be quick because these offers barely last long.
