The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers a slightly higher-end graphics card which might provide a marginal improvement in gaming or graphic-intensive tasks. However, the HP Omen 16 comes with a larger screen size which can enhance your viewing experience. The ASUS is typically more expensive, so if cost is a major concern, the HP might offer similar specs at a better price point. If you lean towards gaming performance, the ASUS could be a better option, but for slightly better value and the benefit of a larger screen, the HP Omen 16 could be more suitable. Consider the ASUS if top gaming performance is a must, otherwise, the HP may suffice for general use and some gaming needs. Give Feedback

"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."

"The Omen 16 has proven to be a fairly good mid-range gaming laptop with all-around improvements compared to the Omen 15. The high overall performance level across all use cases, the long battery life, and the good FHD display constitute the main advantages of this HP laptop. The main drawbacks are the faulty touchpad (one-off?) and the high latencies that can be observed even after just opening the browser. Furthermore, the useless, preinstalled 30-day trial versions of various software also fall under the category "unnecessary"."
