HP Victus 15 FA0043tx Core i5 12th Gen Laptop in Pakistan

The HP Victus 15 FA0043tx is one of those rare laptops that are both well-spaced and expertly constructed, deserving strong recommendations. Despite being released only a few years ago, it demonstrates that it delivers exceptional value for what it offers.

The HP Gaming Laptop is powered by the Intel Core i5-12500H, a 12th-generation Alder Lake mobile processor with 18 MB of Intel’s Smart Cache.

Classified as an H series processor, it’s designed for high-performance computing, emphasizing performance and efficiency, unlike the lower-tier U and P iterations, which prioritize efficiency.

With a configuration of 12 cores and 16 threads, this CPU divides its cores into 4 performance and 8 efficiency cores, offering a greater number of performance cores than the U and P variants of the same CPU. The CPU’s initial clock speed is around 2.5 GHz, with the capability to turbo-boost up to approximately 4.5 GHz, allowing for maximum utilization of its potential.

Collaborating with the CPU is the Nvidia RTX 3050 Graphics card, featuring 4 GB of dedicated GDDR6 graphics memory. As an RTX GPU, it offers great value, including the “RTX ON” feature, which unlocks advanced ray tracing capabilities, and support for Nvidia DLSS, a feature that leverages AI technology. Additionally, it supports Nvidia G-Sync for smoother gaming experiences.

The GPU boasts enough power to handle the latest AAA and esports titles at 1080p, delivering gameplay at around 60 FPS.

The HP FA0043tx is equipped with 16 GB DDR4 memory, configured in dual channels, enabling a transfer rate of up to 3200 MT/s. This memory is also upgradable, ensuring it can meet your requirements if they’re not already fulfilled.

For storage, it relies on a 512 GB PCIe NVMe TLC M.2 Solid State Drive, facilitating high-speed data transfers, resulting in quick game and operating system launches. Similar to the memory, the storage can also be upgraded as needed.

To visually showcase all the central and graphical processing, the laptop features a 39.6 cm (15.6″) Full HD 1080p panel. This display boasts a smooth refresh rate of 144 Hz, accompanied by a quick 9 ms response time.

It utilizes an IPS panel with a micro-edge design and an anti-glare coating to minimize reflections. The maximum attainable brightness is approximately 250 nits, and it covers 45% of the NTSC color space.

The powerhouse within the Victus 15 is its 4-cell, 70 Wh Lithium Ion polymer battery. This battery guarantees a screen-on time of approximately two hours and can be rapidly charged to around 50% in just 30 minutes, thanks to the included 200 W Smart AC power adapter.

The overall construction of the device gives it a weight of approximately 2.29 Kg.

As for input devices, it boasts a full-size backlit keyboard in a stylish mica silver finish, complete with a numeric keypad. The pointing device is the Imagepad, featuring multi-touch gesture support for precise navigation.

Positioned at the top of the screen, you’ll find a Wide Vision 720p HD camera with temporal noise reduction, along with integrated dual-array digital microphones. Enhancing the audio experience is a set of dual speakers tuned by Bang & Olufsen.

Being a portable gaming device, it needs to have a versatile selection of modes of connections, which include:

• Single USB Type-C port with a 5Gbps signaling rate with the support of DisplayPort™ 1.4, Sleep and Charge
• Single USB Type-A port with a 5Gbps signaling rate with the support of Sleep and Charge
• An HDMI 2.1 port
• 1 headphone/microphone combo jack
• An RJ45 connector
• Single multi-format SD media card reader
