The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition often comes at a somewhat higher price than the HP Omen 15, but it offers superior battery capacity and higher screen refresh rates, which can enhance gaming experiences. In contrast, the HP Omen 15 generally costs less and provides double the storage space, as well as slightly better portability. Both have similar screen sizes and types, processor and memory capabilities for general, 3D/machine learning, and engineering use, but the ASUS has an all AMD configuration while the HP pairs an AMD CPU with an Nvidia GPU that may be more familiar to some users. Choose the ASUS if you prioritize gaming performance and battery life, or opt for the HP if storage and cost are your main concern. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the HP Omen 15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the HP Omen 15 has a better screen for content creation.
If you prioritize a vivid display for applications like photo editing or graphic design, both the ASUS ROG Strix G15 and the HP Omen 15 have panels with good color range, accuracy, and resolution which are critical for engineering and design work. However, for general use where you need a screen that's easy on the eyes with clear visibility, these laptops offer adequate brightness and resolution to comfortably handle everyday tasks. Despite their strong performance in other areas, both laptops fall short for gaming and 3D since they lack high refresh rates, which are crucial for smooth visuals in fast-paced games and rendering 3D graphics.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and HP Omen 15 are both good for gaming and AI.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is favored for gaming and 3D due to its AMD RX 6800M GPU which pairs well with its 300Hz refresh rate screen, providing smooth and immersive visual performance. On the other hand, the HP Omen 15 has a strong Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU and a solid 144Hz screen refresh rate, which also offers great gaming and 3D capabilities but with a slightly less fluid experience compared to the ASUS's higher refresh rate. Both machines have high-quality screens and powerful CPUs, but the ASUS stands out with a higher refresh rate while the HP offers a well-balanced gaming experience.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition to be very good for engineering and design, while the HP Omen 15 is good.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition stands out for engineering and design due to its robust AMD Ryzen 9 CPU and RX 6800M GPU, which can better handle intensive tasks and workloads that demand high graphical performance, but this comes with a tradeoff in portability compared to lighter models. While the HP Omen 15 with an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU is also apt for engineering and design tasks, it offers a good balance between power and portability, with the possibility of a more comfortable keyboard but might fall slightly short in ultimate performance compared to its ASUS counterpart.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the HP Omen 15 compare to other laptops
"The Asus ROG Strix G15, as the first in a line of "AMD Advantage"-branded notebooks, is a statement that yes, you can get a premium AMD gaming notebook. Maybe you can't have it all, but you can get pretty close. The ROG Strix G15's combination of the AMD Ryzen 5900HX and Radeon RX 6800M, as well as other technologies that take advantage of them, make a potent, thin gaming machine. Powerful Dolby Atmos speakers and long battery life when you aren't gaming are nice bonuses."
"We consider around 1,260 Euros (~$1530) for a Ryzen 7 4800H, a GeForce RTX 2060, a 512 GB SSD and 16 GB dual-channel RAM to be a good offer that appeals to price-conscious gamers. Very high details are rarely a problem in the native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080. Buyers will also be spoiled with a top-notch battery life that even beats most other notebook classes. If HP now improves the speed of the WLAN module, the stability of the case and the repeatedly criticized picture quality, the competition will have to dress extra warmly."
