When choosing between the Asus ROG Strix G16 and the HP Omen 15, consider that the Asus typically offers robust performance for gaming and demanding applications but may be heavier and less portable. The HP Omen 15, while still good for gaming, may be a more value-conscious choice with slightly less performance but potentially better portability. If long battery life is crucial for you, the HP might have the edge. Decide if the higher cost of the Asus is justified by your need for top-tier performance in tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning over the balance of affordability and performance offered by the HP.

Marc Herter | March 2023
"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."

"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."
