If long battery life and portability are crucial for your daily activities and you often find yourself working in places without a power outlet, the ASUS ROG Flow X13 is the better option. However, if you require a machine with enhanced graphics capabilities for tasks like 3D rendering or engineering work, the HP Omen 17 is more powerful. The ASUS is lightweight and easy to carry around with a versatile touchscreen. The HP offers a larger screen and stronger performance but sacrifices some battery life and is bulkier, which makes it less ideal for frequent travel. Both are suitable for intensive gaming, but the HP's superior graphics may deliver a better gaming experience. Give Feedback

Sebastian Bade | February 2021
"The Asus ROG Flow X13 is not an off-the-shelf convertible. This quickly becomes clear when you take a closer look at the technical specs. The AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS is a state-of-the-art SoC with 8 cores and 16 threads, which also makes the 2-in-1 interesting as a work device. With 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, gamers are also well taken care of. The dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q fits well into the overall concept and ensures a solid 3D performance. With the eGPU dock, which is equipped with a GeForce RTX 3080, the small convertible transforms into a full-fledged desktop replacement in terms of performance."

Marc Herter | September 2022
"The HP Omen 17 (2022) gaming laptop has a stylish case and hardware with lots of potential. The HP Omen 17 is a fairly unobtrusive gaming laptop. A material combination of plastic and metal gives the case a high stability and a quality surface feel. The unspectacular design is pleasing and is hardly indicative of the laptop's high performance potential. The Intel Core i7-12700H in particular is able to perform well once again. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is also strong in the gaming notebook. Demanding games run smoothly in Full HD resolution. The HP Omen 17 is a good gaming laptop that delivers partly excellent performance. But even at this performance level, cheaper alternatives are available."
