If you prioritize gaming performance with the latest graphics features like ray tracing and DLSS, the HP Omen 17 equipped with the Nvidia RTX 4080 is a strong contender. However, it's larger and heavier, potentially making it less convenient for frequent transport. On the other hand, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers solid performance for general use, 3D rendering, and machine learning with good battery life and a more portable form factor. Both are similarly priced and would serve well for engineering tasks, but if screen size is crucial, the HP's larger and higher-resolution display may be more suitable, despite a sacrifice in battery life and portability.

The HP Omen 17 is excellent for gaming and AI, while the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is good.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is equipped with an AMD RX 6800M GPU and a high 300 Hz screen refresh rate, making it good for gaming and 3D applications, while the HP Omen 17 steps it up with a more powerful Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU and a solid 165 Hz refresh rate on a larger screen, labeled very good for the same tasks. Both laptops are well-matched with high-performing CPUs, but the superior GPU and screen refresh rate combo of the HP Omen 17 edges out the ASUS for those prioritizing top-tier gaming performance.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the HP Omen 17 for gaming and AI, while the HP Omen 17 has a better screen for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition, with its good resolution and brightness, provides a clear and vivid image for everyday tasks and detailed engineering work, but its lower refresh rate isn't ideal for the fast-paced action in gaming and 3D applications. The HP Omen 17 offers even better screen quality for general use and engineering thanks to higher resolution and brightness, enhancing visibility and precision in visuals, while still lacking in refresh rate that gamers and 3D professionals desire for smooth motion. For both laptops, the strong color accuracy benefits engineering and design tasks, but the gaming and 3D experience may not feel as immersive without the high refresh rates that provide fluid motion graphics.

The HP Omen 17 and ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition are both good for general use.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is equipped with a solid CPU and ample RAM, making it suitable for a variety of general tasks, and it benefits from a longer battery life for on-the-go use, albeit it's slightly less portable due to its weight.

Tom's Hardware
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 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."
