The ASUS ROG Strix G15 is better for intensive gaming and engineering tasks due to its higher performance capabilities but less than optimal for those who prioritize portability and long battery life. The HP Omen 15, on the other hand, provides very good graphical performance with a powerful GPU, making it suitable for 3D rendering and machine learning, and it's also slightly more portable with better battery life. Both laptops are similarly priced and designed for gaming, so if you frequently travel or work on-the-go, the HP Omen 15 may suit you better, whereas for the most demanding gaming or engineering work, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 is the stronger choice.

Marius Schell | February 2021
"The ASUS ROG Strix G15 is a successful high-performance 15-inch laptop. The Asus ROG Strix impresses with an elaborate design and fast hardware. The latter can unleash its potential well in the large 15-inch case and achieve a decent performance boost compared to the previous generation. Especially the stunning 300 Hz display as well as the RTX 3070 and its generous TDP give gamers their money's worth. Asus didn't neglect seemingly small details, either, such as the keyboard and the maintenance options. The ROG Strix G15 offers a lot of pure performance and excellent workmanship in a 15-inch format, but connectivity leaves something to be desired."

"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."
