The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 offers a balance of performance and portability, with a high-resolution touchscreen and a highly portable slim design, making it suitable for general use and business purposes. However, if you're looking for more power to handle demanding tasks such as 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, the HP Omen 17 would be a better choice with its stronger graphics card and processor. The tradeoff is that the Omen is heavier and has a lower battery life, making it less portable. The Zenbook's superior screen quality and longer battery life are ideal for on-the-go use and presentations, while the Omen is geared towards stationary use where its performance can be fully utilized.

The HP Omen 17 is excellent for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is only fair.
The HP Omen 17 offers superior gaming and 3D performance primarily because it has a high-end Nvidia RTX 4080 graphics card and a screen with a high refresh rate, allowing for smoother visual rendering and more responsive gameplay. In comparison, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13, while still capable for lighter gaming and 3D tasks, is limited by its less powerful Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics and a standard refresh rate screen, suitable for general use but not optimized for high-performance gaming and demanding 3D applications.

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."

"The HP Omen 17 (2022) gaming laptop has a stylish case and hardware with lots of potential. The HP Omen 17 is a fairly unobtrusive gaming laptop. A material combination of plastic and metal gives the case a high stability and a quality surface feel. The unspectacular design is pleasing and is hardly indicative of the laptop's high performance potential. The Intel Core i7-12700H in particular is able to perform well once again. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is also strong in the gaming notebook. Demanding games run smoothly in Full HD resolution. The HP Omen 17 is a good gaming laptop that delivers partly excellent performance. But even at this performance level, cheaper alternatives are available."
