Given the tradeoffs between the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the HP Omen 16, if you prioritize gaming or intensive graphic tasks and are okay with a heavier and slightly bulkier laptop, the ASUS with its AMD gaming-focused hardware would be suitable. However, if you seek a more recent model with potentially better battery efficiency, slightly lighter build, and more modern CPU, then the HP Omen 16, which typically comes at a lower price, might be a better option. Consider the HP Omen 16 if you also value a display with a higher refresh rate for smoother visuals. Give Feedback

Andrew E. Freedman | August 2022
"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."

"The Omen 16 has proven to be a fairly good mid-range gaming laptop with all-around improvements compared to the Omen 15. The high overall performance level across all use cases, the long battery life, and the good FHD display constitute the main advantages of this HP laptop. The main drawbacks are the faulty touchpad (one-off?) and the high latencies that can be observed even after just opening the browser. Furthermore, the useless, preinstalled 30-day trial versions of various software also fall under the category "unnecessary"."
