The HP Omen 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is only fair.
The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13, while having a high-quality screen, is limited by its integrated graphics and a standard refresh rate, hence offering only fair gaming and 3D capabilities. In contrast, the HP Omen 15 is equipped with a more powerful dedicated GPU and a higher refresh rate screen, making it better suited for fluid gaming and 3D experiences.

The HP Omen 15 and ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 are both good for engineering and design, though the HP Omen 15 is somewhat better.
The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13, with a high-resolution touchscreen, is ideal for precision tasks and design work due to its excellent screen quality and portability, but the HP Omen 15 offers a more robust AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia GPU, which are better for strenuous engineering software and gaming. While the Zenbook's quieter operation and lightweight design may appeal to users on the go, the Omen's stronger performance credentials and very good keyboard quality make it more suitable for intensive tasks and long work sessions, but it is heavier and less portable.

The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 has a better screen than the HP Omen 15 for general use, and engineering and design, while the HP Omen 15 has a better screen for gaming and AI.
If you value vivid and accurate colors for tasks like photo editing, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 excels with its high-resolution screen and extensive color coverage, making it a top choice for engineering and design. However, for gaming, the Zenbook's screen falls short with refresh rates not optimized for fast-paced action, which is crucial for a smooth gaming experience. In contrast, the HP Omen 15's display is versatile enough for general tasks and some design work, but like the Zenbook, it won't satisfy gamers seeking fluid motion and rapid response times.

Tom's Hardware
Charles Jefferies | January 2023
"The Asus Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."

"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."
