The ASUS Vivobook 16X, being less expensive, offers a good balance of performance and cost, suitable for everyday use and some heavier tasks like light gaming or photo editing. It's relatively lightweight and compact for its size, making it more portable. On the other hand, the HP Omen 16, while slightly more expensive, provides enhanced performance and a higher refresh rate display, which is ideal for intensive gaming and content creation. The HP Omen is also built with higher quality materials and may offer better thermal management for sustained workloads, but it is heavier and less portable than the ASUS. Give Feedback

Tech Critter

Kok Kee | February 2023
"I think the ASUS Vivobook 16X is fantastic. Great performance, decent battery life, good keyboard and trackpad, and a massive screen – just that the screen quality itself is kinda subpar. If you’re okay with the screen, then I think this is an okay laptop. However, I’d like to see a price drop."

NotebookCheck

Christian Hintze | October 2021
"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"."
