The HP Omen 15 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook 17 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook 17, with its fair screen quality, is suitable for general use due to an adequate combination of panel type, resolution, and brightness, which ensure clear and vivid display under typical conditions, but it may not suffice for high-end tasks that require finer detail. For engineering and design work, its fair screen quality reflects limited color accuracy and range, possibly making it less ideal for professionals who rely on precise color representation. With a modest refresh rate, the poor screen quality of the Vivobook 17 for gaming and 3D applications might lead to less fluid motion in fast-paced visuals, while the HP Omen 15, with better refresh rate and resolution, offers better performance in these respects, though still below optimal levels for the most demanding gaming experiences.

Marvin Gollor | May 2022
"The ASUS Vivobook 17 is an affordable 17-inch laptop with passive cooling. On one hand, you get a really quiet and cool work device with a good system performance, many connections, good maintenance options, speakers acceptable for multimedia enjoyment, and a sharp and clear matte FHD IPS display with the Asus VivoBook 17 (F712JA). On the other hand, the USB-C port lacks Power Delivery and DisplayPort, and the display, a higher brightness and better color space coverage."

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."
