The HP Victus 15 fb3116AX BX8U4PA and Lenovo LOQ Essential 15ARP10E 83S0000DVN are Full HD gaming laptops with 16GB of memory, 512GB SSDs and 144Hz displays. The meaningful differences go beyond the Ryzen tier. Lenovo specifies a 6GB RTX 3050 with up to 65W power, a 100% sRGB IPS display and a 24-month Vietnam warranty. HP lists a Ryzen 7 7445HS, RTX 3050 and a 12-month HP Vietnam warranty. This guide compares the exact SKUs sold at TECHBUY without inventing benchmark or frame-rate results.
CPU and graphics: a Ryzen 7 badge is not the whole answer
The Victus fb3116AX uses a Ryzen 7 7445HS; the LOQ Essential 83S0000DVN uses a Ryzen 5 7535HS. The Ryzen 7 name may appeal to buyers who both work and game, but whole-laptop performance also depends on power limits, cooling and software. A benchmark from another configuration cannot be presented as a measured result for either SKU.
Both list an RTX 3050. Lenovo explicitly specifies 6GB of GDDR6 and up to 65W for this LOQ. The Victus product listing confirms an RTX 3050 but does not state those details. We therefore cannot infer which GPU delivers more frames per second. If your game or application has a specific VRAM requirement, ask TECHBUY to verify the exact Victus graphics configuration before ordering.
- Compare exact SKUs rather than product-family names.
- Do not treat a frame-rate test of a different CPU or GPU variant as a result for these models.
Both screens are 144Hz, but color data differs
Both models advertise a 15.6-inch Full HD 144Hz display. A high refresh rate can make movement and scrolling appear smoother when the content and hardware can keep up, but it does not make a game run at 144 FPS by itself.
Lenovo specifies an IPS panel with 100% sRGB coverage for the LOQ Essential 83S0000DVN. This is useful information if you also edit photos, create visual content or value more predictable color. The currently published Victus fb3116AX specifications do not state sRGB coverage. Do not assume the two panels have equal color accuracy; color-critical buyers should view the model or use a calibrated external display.
- For gaming, consider both graphics hardware and refresh rate.
- For visual work, check the published color coverage of the exact SKU.
RAM, storage and warranty affect long-term value
Both configurations start with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB NVMe SSD. That is a practical starting point, but a game library or video projects can fill 512GB quickly. Check expansion options before you buy. The LOQ Essential listing specifies two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots and two M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots. HP states that the Victus RAM and SSD can be upgraded, subject to checking compatible parts in the actual machine.
Warranty length is a clear difference: this LOQ Essential has a 24-month official Lenovo Vietnam warranty at the brand service center, while the Victus has a 12-month official HP Vietnam warranty. Read the coverage and replacement terms as well as the sticker price. Price, stock and promotions can change; the product cards below use TECHBUY live catalog data.
- Both begin at 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD.
- Lenovo publishes the expansion slots and a 24-month warranty; HP lists a 12-month warranty for this SKU.
Which one should you choose?
A Full HD gamer who also creates visual content may prefer the LOQ Essential if the explicitly stated RTX 3050 6GB/up to 65W, 100% sRGB screen and 24-month warranty match their priorities. That is a recommendation based on published specifications and terms, not a claim that it achieves higher FPS than the Victus.
A student or worker who also games may consider the Victus for its Ryzen 7 7445HS and the price available when purchasing. Confirm its exact GPU details, ports, weight, speakers and keyboard feel before ordering. If you carry the laptop frequently or need long battery life, CPU and GPU labels alone cannot describe the mobile experience.
- Prioritize documented GPU details, screen color and warranty duration: inspect the LOQ Essential.
- Prioritize the Ryzen 7 and current price: consider the Victus after verifying its exact GPU.
- Travel often: try the weight, keyboard and battery behavior before deciding.

Conclusion
Choose the LOQ Essential 83S0000DVN if explicitly documented graphics memory, display color coverage and a longer warranty matter most. Consider the Victus if the Ryzen 7 7445HS and its current price fit your workload and budget, but verify the exact graphics configuration first. A benchmark for a different chassis or GPU variant is no substitute for checking the SKU you will receive.
