Our Verdict

Dell G15 (2022)

HP Victus 15 (2022)

The HP Victus 15 (2022) and the Dell G15 (2022) are both budget gaming laptops available with Intel 12th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA discrete GPUs. The HP is better for build quality and overall user experience. It has a sturdier chassis, a better keyboard and touchpad, and more effective thermal and noise handling. However, the Dell is available with more powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 and 3070 Ti GPUs, as well as a faster QHD 240Hz display.
