The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is less expensive and lighter, with a high-resolution OLED screen that's great for vivid colors and contrasts, making it suitable for general use and media consumption. However, the HP Omen 15, while slightly more expensive and heavier, offers a powerful dedicated graphics card for 3D rendering, machine learning, and intensive gaming. Neither is ideal for travel, but the Omen 15 has a slightly longer battery life. If performance in intensive tasks is paramount, the Omen is the better choice, but for everyday tasks and better portability, the Vivobook may suffice. Give Feedback

The HP Omen 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED with its high-resolution OLED screen and moderate screen refresh rate excels in screen quality but may lag behind in graphics power for gaming and 3D applications due to its integrated GPU; in comparison, the HP Omen 15, with its dedicated Nvidia GPU and higher screen refresh rate, delivers better performance for gaming and 3D tasks, but its screen resolution and quality are less impressive.

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED has a better screen than the HP Omen 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS Vivobook's OLED panel offers vibrant colors and deep contrasts at a higher resolution, making it superior to the HP Omen's display, which, while good, may not be as vivid or sharp. Engineers and designers would benefit more from the ASUS's wider color gamut on its OLED screen, ensuring more accurate color representation compared to the HP Omen. However, for 3D applications and gaming, the HP Omen may be more suitable due to its faster refresh rate, providing smoother visuals, which is a priority over the higher color fidelity and resolution offered by the ASUS.

How the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED and the HP Omen 15 compare to other laptops
"The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop."
"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."
