When choosing between the Dell Inspiron 16 5630 and the HP Victus 15, consider the following: The Dell offers better battery life, higher screen resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio, and a premium build but at a higher cost. It's also lighter and thinner, making it more portable. On the other hand, the HP features a dedicated graphics card (RTX 3050) which is beneficial for gaming and graphic-intensive tasks, although it may make the laptop heavier and with a shorter battery life. The larger 16-inch screen of the Dell might be better for productivity, while the HP's 15.6-inch screen with a higher refresh rate favours gaming. Choose the Dell if you prioritize portability and battery life for productivity tasks. Opt for the HP for gaming or if you need better graphic performance and are okay with a heavier laptop and shorter battery life. Give Feedback

Olivier Martin, Ryan Lim, and Yannick Khong | March 2023
"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."
