Our Verdict
Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i (2021)
HP Victus 16 (2021)
The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i (2021) and the HP Victus 16 (2021) are both budget gaming laptops available with Intel 11th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA dedicated GPUs. The HP has a larger and more responsive touchpad, as well as a wider port selection that includes an additional USB-A port and HDMI 2.1 support instead of HDMI 2.0. On the other hand, the Lenovo doesn't get as hot or loud under load, and its keyboard feels more comfortable to type on for extended periods. The HP has more powerful CPU options with more cores and threads, providing better performance in CPU-intensive games and applications. It also has a higher-end NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU option, which isn't available on the Lenovo.
