The ASUS TUF Gaming F17 offers a larger screen and is slightly less expensive, making it suitable for gaming on a budget and for those who prefer more screen real estate. However, the HP Omen 15, while a bit more pricey, provides double the storage, more RAM, a more powerful processor and GPU, making it a better choice for demanding applications like 3D rendering, engineering, and machine learning. Additionally, the Omen 15 promises a significantly longer battery life, making it more convenient for on-the-go use. The choice largely depends on whether you prioritize performance and battery life over display size and saving some money. Give Feedback

The HP Omen 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS TUF Gaming F17 is only fair.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F17 is fair for gaming and 3D tasks because it has the Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti GPU, which is less powerful than the RTX 3070 found in the HP Omen 15; both laptops share a screen refresh rate of 144Hz, which is vital for smooth gameplay. However, the HP Omen 15 is better suited for these tasks, not only due to the superior GPU but also because it has a brighter and more vibrant screen and a more powerful CPU, which contribute to its overall good performance in gaming and 3D applications.

The HP Omen 15 has a better screen than the ASUS TUF Gaming F17 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the ASUS TUF Gaming F17's screen offers a balance of decent resolution and brightness, making it easy on the eyes during everyday tasks, while the HP Omen 15's similar attributes provide clear and vivid visuals for both work and leisure activities. In engineering and design, the HP Omen 15's coverage of wider color gamuts ensures more accurate color representation, which is crucial for professionals in those fields, a feature where the ASUS falls short. However, when it comes to 3D work or gaming, the ASUS's lower refresh rate results in less fluid motion compared to higher-end gaming displays, a limitation that also affects the HP Omen 15, making neither ideal for the most immersive gaming or intensive 3D tasks.

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."

Florian Glaser | January 2021
"We consider around 1,260 Euros (~$1530) for a Ryzen 7 4800H, a GeForce RTX 2060, a 512 GB SSD and 16 GB dual-channel RAM to be a good offer that appeals to price-conscious gamers. Very high details are rarely a problem in the native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080. Buyers will also be spoiled with a top-notch battery life that even beats most other notebook classes. If HP now improves the speed of the WLAN module, the stability of the case and the repeatedly criticized picture quality, the competition will have to dress extra warmly."
