HP Victus 15-fa vs Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8: which one fits your build
Buy the HP Victus 15-fa for budget 1080p gaming and easy RAM upgraders, though it is not built for 1440p/4K gaming. The Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 is the one to take for 1080p gaming at high settings in current titles and buyers who want more GPU headroom without changing chassis, though it is not the pick for long unplugged gaming sessions and buyers who need Thunderbolt or WiFi 6E/7. The same goes for anyone planning a full RAM swap rather than an add-a-stick upgrade. It is not the one for anyone who wants a free RAM slot out of the box. Our rating of the HP Victus 15-fa (7/10): the Victus 15 pairs a Core i5-13420H with a GeForce RTX 30 series GPU with 6GB of VRAM and a 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080 IPS display at 144 Hz. It has one free DDR5 slot with support up to 32GB, which makes it a sensible entry gaming laptop that can grow. The 8GB of RAM is tight for modern games and multitasking, so plan an upgrade.
Where the two are identical
