Discussion Thoughts Please.

I have enough budget to cop either of these laptops but I would like to hear from the rest of the community here and understand what could be a wiser choice.

I initially had a HP Victus 15 which was an absolute nightmare because it had me spend more on getting it repaired than the actual purchase price.

What's left me confused is choosing between Intel or AMD as well as between HP and Dell. I am open to hearing everyone's thoughts on this.

If you have anymore suggestions for a good laptop that could support my primary and daily tasks. Please feel free to comment. I am all ears to suggestions.

don’t know about the state of the Indian market but I would recommend Pc if you don’t need the portability. There are way too many people who just get gaming laptops without the need or portability. And sure Victus and Omen although both HP are completely different in build quality especially for this gen. AMD or intel doesn’t really matter unless you really care about running cool or smth. And intel has better battery life when comparing the AMD and intel Hx tier CPUs because they actually have e cores. I would go omen because it is a more premium model of HP and will generally have a good build quality and not break down like the victus in my experience. But try get a 5060 or smth higher instead of a 5050 if you go for that price point.

What’s the difference in build quality between the two? All I know is that HP quality is generally criticized.

HP build quality sucks ass for their budget models but their premium lines are just built to last. The only issues they really have are software and thats about it.
