Which should you buy, Dell G15 5530 or HP Victus 15-fa?
The Dell G15 5530 suits budget 1080p gaming and storage upgraders wanting a cheap SATA add-on, though it is not built for 1440p gaming and thin/light preference. The HP Victus 15-fa is the one to take for budget 1080p gaming and easy RAM upgraders, though it is the wrong buy for 1440p/4K gaming. Our rating of the Dell G15 5530 (7.9/10): the G15 5530 has a Core i7-13650HX, an RTX 40 series GPU with 8GB of VRAM and 16GB of DDR5 in SO-DIMM slots. The 15.6-inch 1080p IPS panel runs at 165Hz, the 86Wh battery is large and there is a free storage slot. It suits 1080p gaming and CPU-heavy work. It weighs 2.85 kg and has no Thunderbolt port. The 1080p panel limits 1440p gaming, and the size is wrong for anyone wanting a thin, light machine.
