The HP Omen 15 and ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 are both good for general use, though the HP Omen 15 is somewhat better.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers a high-resolution OLED screen with excellent color coverage, making it great for media consumption, but it has less RAM and a less powerful CPU than the HP Omen 15, which could limit performance in multitasking and more demanding applications. Furthermore, while the Vivobook Pro 14 is lighter and slightly more portable, the HP Omen 15 boasts a larger screen, significantly more storage, a superior processor, and a dedicated graphics card, which, combined with longer battery life, makes it a more versatile device for a wider range of general use cases.

The HP Omen 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is only fair.
The HP Omen 15 outperforms the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 in gaming and 3D applications primarily due to its more powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU and higher screen refresh rate, which provides smoother visuals and is better suited for fast-paced games. In contrast, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 does have a quality OLED screen, its integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and lower refresh rate are less capable of handling demanding gaming and 3D tasks.

The HP Omen 15 and ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 are both good for engineering and design, though the HP Omen 15 is somewhat better.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is suitable for engineering and design because of its high-resolution OLED display which offers excellent color accuracy, beneficial for tasks requiring precise colors, but its less powerful CPU and GPU may not handle extremely intensive tasks as smoothly as more powerful machines. On the other hand, the HP Omen 15 provides robust performance with a strong CPU and high-end GPU, making it better suited for engineering software and design applications that need more computing power, although it is heavier and less portable than the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14.

How the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and the HP Omen 15 compare to other laptops
"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."
"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."
