The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is a budget-friendly option with decent battery life, making it suitable for everyday tasks such as browsing and office work. Its lightweight design adds to portability. However, the HP Omen 15, being more expensive, offers significantly better performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, engineering, and gaming due to its powerful processor and high-end graphics card. It also has a higher quality display and more RAM and storage, which are beneficial for intensive tasks. Thus, if cost is not an issue and high performance is a necessity, the HP Omen 15 is a better choice, albeit at the expense of portability and higher cost. Give Feedback

The HP Omen 15 is good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 has a lower-end CPU and less RAM than the HP Omen 15, meaning it won't handle multitasking or demanding applications as effectively.

The HP Omen 15 is good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 falls short for engineering and design use due to its basic Intel Celeron processor, limited 4GB of RAM, and basic Intel UHD Graphics 600, all of which contribute to poor performance on intensive tasks, along with a lower-quality TN display. In contrast, the HP Omen 15 excels in these areas with a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 processor, a generous 16GB of RAM, a high-performance Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU, and a superior IPS display, ensuring it can handle demanding engineering software and provide better visual clarity.

Trusted Reviews
Josh Brown | January 2024
"The Asus Vivobook Go 15 is a good option if you’re looking for one device to tackle a bunch of smaller problems. For simple school studies, portable evening entertainment or distractions, and getting household admin or light office workloads out of the way, it’s a great little package with respectable battery life, and a great contender for the advent of cloud gaming."

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."
