.....HP has not included power and charge management in the BIOS with the Victus. they do so with the Omen and their Probooks/Elitebooks business laptops
it allows you to set the charge limiter to 80%. this is important if you leave your laptop plugged in for a while or you always have it plugged in like a desktop replacement kind of setup. it's important bc setting a charge limit to 80% and below extends the life of the battery
Kinda specific question imao my laptop is struggling here trying to run a server vm.

HP confirmed they have 0 plans of including that feature in a BIOS update
So since they were not interested in fixing their neutered BIOS
I wasn't interested in ownership, so I promptly returned mine

Photoshop and Lightroom works effortlessly. Blender also works relatively smoothly.
Games like Apex Legends run smoothly on low/medium settings if you have it plugged in.

For example:
Lies of P: 56.9 vs 37.5FPS
Cyberpunk 2077 2.0: 35.7 vs 31.6FPS
Counter Strike 2: 111.1 vs 74FPS
Baldur's Gate 3: 36.9 vs 35.8FPS
Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart: 28.4 vs 18.8FPS
Atomic Heart: 61 vs 48.7FPS
FPS for 1080p, low graphics settings. Arc-8 vs 2050.
And this RTX 2050 is only slightly better than the 1650.
If it's anything like his HP, sometimes HP puts a lockdown on various hardware. We tried 3 different wireless cards. It refused to acknowledge any of them except for the one it came installed with. And it's a piece of junk and drops WiFi signal all the time. So weird. I have an HP Elitebook and I don't have those issues. Must be HP consumer stuff isn't so sharp in certain areas
