The HP Victus 16-R0073CL  is equipped with the Intel Core i7-13700HX is a fast high-end mobile processor of the Raptor Lake series. Is was announced in early 2023 and is based on the desktop Core i7-13700K with a combined 16 cores and 24 threads. Eight fast Raptor Cove performance cores (P-cores) with HyperThreading clocking between 2.1 – 5 GHz (4.5 GHz all core boost) and eight Gracemont efficiency cores without HyperThreading (1.5 – 3.7 GHz). Compared to Alder Lake, Raptor Lake offers improved P-Cores (Raptor Cove micro-architecture) with bigger Caches and more E-Cores (same Gracemont micro-architecture). Furthermore, the chip supports faster DDR5 memory (up to 5600 MHz for the 13980HX, but only 4800 MHz for the i7).

The Victus 16 uses a slightly unconventional keyboard layout. The position of the power button is just as unusual as the placement of the Insert and Delete keys, as well as the German users will also have to get used to the single-row Enter key. There are more negative points for the measly arrow keys that are hardly suitable for gaming. On the other hand, the 16-inch laptop offers a full number block. We would evaluate the typing experience as “good” (pressure point, stroke, etc.), although the shape of the keys has a real edge to it.

Aside from the stability, which is less than optimal, the touchpad delivers a good performance. With a width of 4.9 in and a depth of  3.1 in, it is pleasantly large. Even though the surface feels slightly less smooth than in many competitors, all the mouse movements succeed easily. Gesture support such as zooming and scrolling with two fingers also works reliably. A small issue: left and right clicks at the bottom edge produce slight clattering sounds, which takes away some of the quality impression of the laptop.
