The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers superior performance for 3D, machine learning, and engineering work, thanks to its powerful processor and graphics card. It is well-suited for intensive gaming and tasks that demand high processing power. However, it is heavier and has less battery life, making it less portable. On the other hand, the HP 14" Laptop is more budget-friendly, lighter, and has a longer battery life, making it more portable and suitable for general use. Its performance is suitable for everyday tasks but not for heavy gaming or engineering software. If you need a laptop for performance-intensive tasks and gaming, and don't mind a higher price and less portability, go for the ASUS. If you prioritize portability, longer battery life, and are using the laptop mainly for everyday tasks, the HP might be the better choice. Give Feedback

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is very good for engineering and design, while the HP 14" Laptop is only fair.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is better equipped for engineering and design tasks, owing to its higher performance CPU and GPU, more RAM, and a larger high-refresh-rate screen which results in smoother visuals, although it's heavier and less portable than the HP 14" Laptop. The HP, while offering decent general use, has a lower-tier CPU and integrated graphics, less RAM, and a standard refresh-rate screen, but benefits from greater portability and potentially quieter operating noise.

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 has a better screen than the HP 14" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15's screen offers satisfactory sharpness and brightness for everyday tasks, but it doesn't deliver vibrant colors needed for precise engineering and design work, nor the high refresh rates crucial for smooth gaming and 3D rendering. On the other hand, the HP 14" Laptop provides an acceptable level of detail and luminosity for daily use and has adequate color representation for engineering tasks, but it similarly falls short in refresh rate, limiting its effectiveness for gaming and 3D applications. In both cases, general users might find the displays appropriate, but professionals in engineering, design, gaming, and 3D fields will likely seek out screens with higher color accuracy and faster refresh rates to meet their more demanding visual requirements.

Allen Ngo | March 2022
"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."

Consumer Reports
Nicholas De Leon | October 2022
"This feels like an ideal laptop for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on a laptop and isn’t too bothered by things like build quality or construction. It’s a laptop that will be used to pay bills, keep track of expenses, do some online shopping, and will be tucked away in a spare bedroom/home office. It’s an appliance designed to do a job without fuss. It’s not a premium experience—the materials do feel a little cheap, the display won’t exactly wow you, and the battery life is nothing to write home about, especially if you’ve used more expensive devices. But overall it’s not too shabby, especially for the price."
