want a laptop with above 60 refresh rate and an LED panel but can’t find one in the same price bracket
I’d consider a normal dell laptop, not a gaming heavy brick
So RAM and storage are upgradable. If you can save money by finding a lower RAM and storage spec machine with other features, I would do that.
You’re gonna regret buying a 5-8lb laptop for student usage. Buy something in the thin and light category, and also don’t worry about high refresh rate. Maybe look at the Acer Swift 3 OLED
The HP Victus is a great laptop however depending the model you’re getting, the screen may not be that color accurate. The gaming laptop aspects to it allows you to have a much more powerful CPU along with a dedicated GPU for some gaming on the side at high graphics (Medium graphics on some triple A games).
As a fellow HP Victus user, it’s overall a pretty great laptop. I use it for my daily tasks and overall it does the job along with allowing me to game on the side. I highly recommend looking into AMD models though as they offer better battery life compare to Intel models.
How’s the build quality and thermals? The last HP I owned was straight from hell.
