The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 and HP Omen 17 are similarly priced with equivalent RAM and storage, but there are key differences to consider. The G15, with its AMD processor and RTX 3070 GPU, is lighter and offers better battery life, making it more suitable for portability and general use. The HP Omen 17 features a newer Intel processor and a more powerful RTX 4080 GPU, which translates to superior performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks, though it's significantly heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less portable. Neither has a touchscreen, but both have high refresh rates and quality IPS displays for sharp visuals during gaming or content creation. Choose the G15 for a balance between performance and portability or the Omen 17 for maximum performance, albeit with reduced mobility. Give Feedback

Florian Glaser | February 2021
"As long as you're aware of the fact that the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop version can only unfold its potential to a limited extent due to Asus's low TDP setting and that it can be slower than a fast RTX 3070 laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503Q cuts a fine figure. One of the biggest highlights turns out to be the WQHD panel, since it attracts customers with 165 Hz, relatively fast response times, FreeSync, and good color-space coverage. Other selling points are the surprisingly rich sound, the long battery life, and the sleek design. In terms of looks, the white edition stands out nicely from the competition."

Marc Herter | September 2022
"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."
