The HP Victus 15 is HP's entry-to-midrange gaming laptop line, sold from 2022 through 2024 under model families like 15-fa (Intel-based) and 15-fb (AMD-based). It was built for gamers and students who wanted a discrete GPU and a decent refresh-rate display without paying Omen or ROG prices, and HP sold it in huge volume through Best Buy and Walmart alongside its own store. Three years in, a Victus 15 with a mid-tier Ryzen or Core chip and an RTX 3050 or 4050 still runs current titles at 1080p, which keeps demand for used units steady. Pick your exact processor, graphics card, and condition in the picker above for an instant cash offer, and see how the process works before you box anything up. If you have more than one gaming laptop to move at once, our laptop trade-in page covers other brands too.

Confirm you have the HP Victus 15

The fastest way to confirm your exact model is the sticker on the underside of the laptop, which lists the full model number (something like 15-fa2013dx). If the sticker has worn off, press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and check the System tab, or search for msinfo32 in the Start menu for the full System Model field. HP Support Assistant, if it's still installed, shows the same information on its home screen.

15-fa series (Intel)

  • Includes 15-fa0000, 15-fa1000, and 15-fa2013dx
  • Paired with 12th or 13th Gen Intel Core i5/i7 processors
  • Sold mainly in 2022 and 2023

15-fb series (AMD)

  • Includes 15-fb0000, 15-fb1000, 15-fb1013dx, 15-fb2000, 15-fb2000nr, 15-fb2063dx, and 15-fb3093dx
  • Paired with AMD Ryzen 5000, 7000, or 8000 series processors
  • Spans the full 2022-2024 run, with the fb3xxx units being the newest

Prefer a visual check? The Victus wordmark sits on the lid in a plain sans-serif font, without the Omen logo's angular styling. Deck color is almost always a mica-silver lid over a black keyboard deck, and the keyboard backlight, when present, glows red rather than the RGB zones you'd see on an Omen. If you're not sure this is the right family at all, our model finder can help narrow it down.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7, 5000 series
  • AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7, 7000 series
  • AMD Ryzen 7, 8000 series
  • Intel Core i5 or i7, 12th or 13th Gen

Graphics

  • AMD Radeon RX 6500M
  • NVIDIA GTX 1650
  • NVIDIA RTX 2050
  • NVIDIA RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti
  • NVIDIA RTX 4050
  • NVIDIA RTX 4060

Memory

  • DDR4 memory across every configuration in this generation
  • Two SO-DIMM slots, user-upgradable on most units

Storage

  • Single M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD slot
  • Drive is swappable on most builds, since it isn't soldered to the board

Of everything on this list, the graphics card moves resale value the most. An RTX 4050 or 4060 unit holds its worth noticeably better than a GTX 1650 or RX 6500M build, since the newer GPUs still handle current games at 1080p.

Display & audio

Display

A 15.6-inch Full HD (1920x1080) IPS panel is standard across the line. Higher configurations tend to run a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother gameplay, while some entry-level trims cap out at 60Hz, so confirm which panel your unit has if that matters to a buyer.

Audio

Dual downward-firing stereo speakers cover general use and casual gaming. They're serviceable but not a highlight of the machine, and most gamers will still reach for a headset.

Security

Select configurations add a fingerprint reader built into the power button, which works with Windows Hello for sign-in. Not every 15-fa or 15-fb unit includes it, so check yours before assuming it's there.

Ports & connectivity

Port placement is consistent across the Victus 15 generation, with power and video on the left and everyday USB access on the right.

Left side
  • AC power connector
  • HDMI 2.1 output
  • USB-C (data and DisplayPort)
  • Ethernet (RJ-45)
Right side
  • Two USB-A ports
  • Headphone/microphone combo jack
  • SD card reader on some builds

Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.2/5.3 HDMI 2.1 Red backlit keyboard Up to 144Hz display NVMe SSD Upgradable RAM Dedicated GPU

Battery, build & more

Battery

A multi-cell battery is built for general productivity more than marathon gaming. Expect a workday's worth of light use on a charge, and a much shorter runtime once the GPU is under real load.

Finishes

Most units ship in a mica-silver lid over a black deck, occasionally paired with a darker "performance blue" accent on later fb-series models.

Software

These units shipped with Windows 11, though earlier 2022 stock may have been upgraded from Windows 10 before it reached the shelf.

Market positioning

The Victus 15 sits below HP's Omen line, trading a more premium chassis and cooling setup for a lower entry point. That makes it a volume seller, which keeps parts and buyer demand plentiful even years after launch.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Check the sticker on the underside of the laptop first; it lists the full model number, such as 15-fb2063dx. If that's worn away, press Windows key + R and type dxdiag, then check the System tab for the model, or type msinfo32 in the Start menu search box for the same information under System Model. Either method also confirms your installed RAM and can help you spot which processor is installed if the sticker is unreadable. Our HP model number guide walks through this with screenshots if you want a visual reference.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Victus 16?
The Victus 16 shares the same branding, keyboard styling, and red backlighting, but it runs a 16-inch display in a noticeably larger and heavier chassis. If you place the two side by side, the Victus 16's deck is visibly wider and the screen bezels are proportioned differently. When in doubt, the model number on the underside sticker settles it immediately: Victus 15 units always start with 15-, while Victus 16 units start with 16-.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a cracked screen, or a device that won't turn on?
Yes, in most cases. Select the condition that matches your unit in the picker above and the quote adjusts to reflect a cracked screen, a weak battery, or a laptop that won't power on. Before shipping, you still need to remove the laptop from your Microsoft account and turn off Find My Device under Settings → Privacy & security → Find my device, since a locked device tied to your account can't be resold or evaluated properly. If the laptop won't boot at all, we can usually still make an offer based on visible condition and reported symptoms.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
The graphics card tier matters most, since an RTX 4050 or 4060 configuration holds value better than a GTX 1650 or older card. After that, overall cosmetic condition, a battery that still holds a charge, and having the original charger on hand all push the offer higher. A clean screen with no dead pixels and a keyboard with all keys intact also help, since those are the first things a buyer notices.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Start by backing up anything you want to keep, then go to Settings → Update & Security → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose Remove everything. Before running the reset, suspend BitLocker if it's enabled under Settings → Privacy & security → Device encryption, and sign the laptop out of your Microsoft account under Settings → Accounts. Once the reset finishes, the device is clean and ready to ship. Shipping is free and insured, and once we've tested the unit against your listed condition, payment goes out by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full details are on our data erasure protocols page.
