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.

Lenovo Slim 7

Strengths

Every aspect, from the full metallic exterior to that high-quality trackpad and exceptionally well-done keyboard, makes this an absolute aspiring machine.
It has stunning build quality.
The gorgeous OLED display is a standout feature.
The laptop offers phenomenal performance, particularly with demanding activities such as programming and 4K multi-layer editing.
Gaming performance is impressive, sustaining 60+ frames per second at upper-medium settings.
Thermal efficiency is exceptional, with a maximum average surface temperature of 38°C under peak loads.
Fan noise is reasonable, staying around mid-40s decibels under sustained workloads.
The laptop has a long runtime of up to 10 hours on general productivity tasks.

Weaknesses

The speaker quality is outright horrendous, lacking depth, bass, and getting distorted at higher volume levels.
The resolution of the OLED display is lower than expected.
The base refresh rate is 60Hz, which might be slower than some users expect.
RAM is entirely soldered and cannot be upgraded.
There's only one m.2 2280 slot for storage expansion, which may not meet all users' needs.
The price tag of $1,100 for the Slim 7 configuration seems steep to some users.
Despite its impressive performance, there are minor thermal implications during peak loads.
Upgradability options are limited, with only one m.2 slot available.
