Pros and Cons

HP Victus 16

Strengths

It's a great price, a fantastic price I got the most powerful configuration that you can possibly buy with this machine and it only cost fourteen hundred dollars.
The design is simplistic yet somehow bold at the same time and it looks really cool and sleek yet somehow also professional looking as well.
Keyboard typing felt fantastic, the keys were super comfortable and the quality of the key presses and how quiet it was rivaled a lot of the other more expensive gaming laptops.
It's one of the best if not the best budget friendly bang for your buck laptops that you can possibly get right now.

Weaknesses

The screen wobble is the most I've ever seen on a gaming laptop, so it is worth noting in your purchase decision if you do a lot of hard typing on your lap or another unstable surface.
Unfortunately, the display's overall brightness was a little dim compared to most, and if you're gonna be in environments with a lot of ambient light it could affect your overall experience.
The lack of lighting effects (no RGB customizations and no animations) is not a big deal but a lot of gaming laptops have this and it looks really cool especially when they're animated.
The webcam's quality was only average, and there were no Windows Hello capabilities or fingerprint options on the keyboard.

Huawei MateBook D 16

Strengths

The build quality is very good, with a solid construction and minimal flex in the lid.
The keyboard is backlit and has a great typing experience, making it perfect for long writing sessions or video editing work.
The touchpad is great, with accurate tracking and a smooth surface.
The screen is really good, with vivid colors and deep blacks that make it ideal for watching movies or browsing the web.
The webcam is very good, with clear and detailed images that are comparable to more expensive laptops like the MateBook X Pro series.
The microphones are also very good, picking up even the slightest sounds and making them sound crisp and clear.
The battery life is decent, lasting for 6 hours and 55 minutes on a single charge under light usage.

Weaknesses

The laptop doesn't have Thunderbolt 4, which might be a deal-breaker for some users who rely on this feature for their workflow.
It uses last-gen hardware components, such as DDR4 RAM and a PCIe 3.0 SSD, which might not be ideal for demanding tasks like video editing or gaming.
The laptop throttles when pushed to its limits in Performance mode, resulting in reduced performance due to thermal issues.
The fan noise is noticeable under full load, which might be distracting for some users who prefer silence while working.
There were issues with the touchpad drivers running Linux on the MateBook D 16, which might be a problem for users who want to dual-boot their laptop.
The battery life takes a hit when running demanding tasks or gaming, reducing the overall lifespan of the battery.
Older titles like Counter-Strike and Half-Life 2 will still run smoothly, but more demanding games might not perform as well due to the Intel Iris Xe graphics.
