I guess the question comes down to Lenovo LOQ vs HP Victus, as virtually everything is better on the HP Victus. This was a no-brainer, right?
Returning: LOQ 16 (Paid $737.99 - $81.18 Rakuten Cashback)
- 7640HS
- RTX 4050
- 8GB DDR5 5600
- 512GB QLC SSD
- 16", 1920x1200, IPS, 144hz, 350 Nits
- 4-Cell 60Wh
- WiFi 6
Purchased: Victus 16.1 (Paid $769.99 w/ Upgrades - $77.00 Rakuten Cashback)
- 7640HS (Same)
- RTX 4050 (Same)
- 16GB DDR5 5600 (Better)
- 512GB TLC SSD (Better)
- 16.1", 1920x1080, IPS, 144Hz, 300 Nits (Worse)
- 6-Cell 83Wh (Better)
- WiFi 6E (Better)
Looks like they are both 45%NTSC. So, resolution difference aside, the only difference is the Victus has 50 less Nits. That being said, I typically run my screens dimmer than others out of preference so that doesn’t bother me.
I do have 6E. The upgrade from 6 to 6E was $10. I would have upgraded it in the LOQ anyway.
I’ll probably have it plugged in when I’m using it. I bought it because I travel a lot for work. My girlfriend will probably use it when I’m home for basic productivity so I chose the $20 upgrade for the battery.
