When deciding between the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 and the HP Omen Transcend 14, consider that the ASUS may offer superior gaming and content creation performance due to possibly higher-end graphics and processing power, which is great for demanding applications but may come at the cost of increased weight and reduced battery life, making it less ideal for travel or long periods away from power outlets. On the other hand, the HP Omen, being smaller, is likely more portable and could offer better battery life, suitable for general use and on-the-go productivity, although it may not match the ASUS in handling highly intensive tasks.

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."
