The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is more affordable and offers a high-resolution OLED screen, lightweight design, and decent battery life, making it suitable for on-the-go use and general tasks. In contrast, the HP Omen 15, while more expensive, offers a powerful AMD processor, high-end Nvidia graphics, and a high-refresh-rate screen, positioning it as a better choice for gaming, 3D modeling, machine learning, and other intensive tasks. However, it's heavier and might not be as portable as the Zenbook. So, if you prioritize performance for demanding applications and can handle a heavier laptop, the Omen is worth the extra cost. Otherwise, for everyday use and better portability, the Zenbook is a smart and cost-effective option. Give Feedback

PCMag
Matthew Buzzi | September 2023
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."

"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."
