If you prioritize higher performance for tasks like gaming or engineering, the ASUS ROG Strix may be worth the investment; however, it is less portable and likely has a shorter battery life due to its powerful components. On the other hand, the HP Victus is more budget-friendly, offers decent performance for general use, and will likely be lighter and easier to carry, with better battery life, making it suitable for everyday tasks and some lighter gaming or work applications. Choose the ASUS if performance is critical and the HP for better value and mobility. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2024) is very good for general use, while the HP Victus 15 is good.
The ASUS ROG Strix G16 offers superior CPU and RAM, which translates to smoother multitasking and better performance for demanding applications; coupled with its high-quality screen, it excels for general use, albeit with a trade-off in portability and possibly shorter battery life. The HP Victus 15, while still competent for everyday tasks, may provide better battery life and is easier to carry around, but does so at the expense of the screen's vibrancy and raw processing power.

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2024) is very good for gaming and AI, while the HP Victus 15 is only fair.
The ASUS ROG Strix G16 boasts a high-end GPU and fast screen refresh rate, which are crucial for smooth gaming and 3D rendering, providing superior graphics performance compared to the HP Victus 15, which has a moderate GPU and slower refresh rate, making it less ideal for demanding visual tasks but still serviceable for casual gaming. While both have capable CPUs and good screen quality, these factors are secondary to the GPU and refresh rate when it comes to gaming and 3D performance.

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 has a better screen than the HP Victus 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS ROG Strix G16 offers a high-resolution display with excellent brightness and a panel type that ensures wide viewing angles and vibrant colors, making it suitable for general use and detailed engineering tasks that require precise color representation. Despite these qualities, its lower refresh rate diminishes its appeal for gaming and 3D modeling where fluid motion is crucial. The HP Victus 15, while providing an adequate display for everyday tasks and some design work, lacks the broader color gamut and superior brightness of the ASUS, and similarly falls short in the refresh rate needed for optimal gaming and 3D experiences.

Marc Herter | March 2023
"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."

"The HP Victus 15 is great for gaming. It's available with Intel 12th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA discrete graphics, which are powerful enough to provide a smooth gaming experience in demanding AAA titles at 1080p. It has a nice keyboard and a fast SSD, as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet connectivity for low-latency online gaming. Unfortunately, its 144Hz display has a slow response time causing noticeable ghosting, and it doesn't support variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing."
