The HP Victus 15 is more suited to intensive tasks like 3D work, machine learning, and gaming because it has a more powerful processor and a dedicated Nvidia RTX graphics card, but this also makes it heavier and less portable, with a shorter battery life than the Lenovo V15. On the other hand, the Lenovo V15, being lighter and offering longer battery life, may be better for general use and more portable needs. It also comes at a lower cost with double the storage and more memory, although its integrated graphics are less capable for demanding graphics tasks. Both have the same size and resolution screens, but the HP's display is likely better for fast-paced games due to a higher refresh rate, while the Lenovo's screen may be less impressive, especially in terms of color and viewing angles due to its TN panel.

The HP Victus 15 has a better screen than the Lenovo V15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
For general use, the HP Victus 15 delivers clear and vibrant visuals, important for activities like browsing and watching videos, while the Lenovo V15's lower resolution and dimmer display might not be as satisfying. In the realm of engineering and design, the HP's wider color range better represents various hues accurately, which is crucial for detailed work; however, the Lenovo's limited color spectrum could lead to less precise color representation. When it comes to gaming and 3D applications, the HP's slower refresh rate can be a drawback for smooth motion, while both the HP and Lenovo might lack the quick screen updates that gamers and 3D artists rely on for an immersive experience.

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."

Marvin Gollor | April 2022
"The strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
