Our Verdict
HP Victus 15 (2022)
Lenovo LOQ 15 (2023)
The Lenovo LOQ 15 (2023) is better than the HP Victus 15 (2022) for most uses. The Lenovo is available with newer and faster NVIDIA 40-series GPUs that can push higher frame rates. It also has variable refresh rate support to reduce screen tearing, two M.2 storage slots (the HP has one), and longer battery life. Lenovo has a QHD display option, while HP only has FHD displays.
