The HP Omen 17 has a better screen than the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15, while offering sufficient resolution and brightness for everyday tasks, lacks the wider color gamut necessary for precise engineering and design work and suffers from a lower refresh rate, making it less suitable for immersive gaming or 3D rendering. In contrast, the HP Omen 17 provides a crisper and brighter display that appeals to general users and supports a broader color range for professionals in engineering and design, though it too falls short for gaming and 3D tasks due to a less optimal refresh rate. For the best 3D or gaming experience, customers should seek laptops specifically engineered with higher refresh rates to keep visuals smooth and responsive.

How the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 and the HP Omen 17 compare to other laptops
"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 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."
