If you prioritize gaming or challenging engineering software, the ASUS TUF Gaming F17 with its dedicated graphics card would be more capable. However, it's heavier and has less battery life, making it less ideal for carrying around. In contrast, the HP 14" Laptop is lighter and offers longer battery on a charge, fitting for general use and light tasks. Also, the HP comes at a lower price than the ASUS but has less storage capacity and wouldn't handle intensive tasks or gaming as well. Consider how you plan to use the laptop when choosing between performance and portability. Give Feedback

NotebookCheck
Christian Hintze | April 2022
"One of the Asus TUF Gaming F17’s highlights is without a doubt its excellent gaming performance. The fact that Asus configured the RTX 3060 GPU for its specified maximum of 140 W is became immediately noticeable in our benchmarks. For a 17-inch notebook the F17 also offers a very long battery life, which makes it somewhat portable. On the flip side is the display. It may be saved by its good overall contrast ratio, but its overall brightness is simply too low, and its response times are too slow for a gaming device. The F17’s successor needs to improve upon this."

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."
