The HP Omen 16 is very good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is only fair.
The HP Omen 16 is very good for gaming and 3D because it includes a high-performance Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card and a high screen refresh rate which is crucial for fluid imaging in fast-paced games. On the other hand, while the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is suitable for gaming and boasts a premium display, it relies on a less capable integrated GPU which isn't as powerful for the most demanding games and 3D applications.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the HP Omen 16 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo's higher resolution and panel technology provide sharper and more vivid visuals than the HP Omen 16, making it very good for day-to-day tasks that include web browsing or video streaming. Engineers and designers will appreciate the ASUS's wider color gamut, offering a richer spectrum of colors necessary for precise work, while the HP Omen also delivers a good color range but not as extensive, making it slightly less ideal for professional color work. Gamers and 3D designers will find both the ZenBook and the Omen lacking due to their lower refresh rates, which can limit the smoothness of fast-paced visuals; however, gamers who prioritize screen details over speed may find the resolution and panel type sufficient for a good experience.

"The Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED is a well-tuned instrument for content creators, excelling at a range of general office tasks as well as tasks that require a little more grunt like encoding and 3D rendering. The big attraction is the laptop’s dual displays. They’re the best ones we’ve used in an Asus Zenbook Duo laptop to date with a spate of year-on-year improvements that make the visuals more striking and the cross-screen integration easier than ever before."

"The Omen 16 has proven to be a fairly good mid-range gaming laptop with all-around improvements compared to the Omen 15. The high overall performance level across all use cases, the long battery life, and the good FHD display constitute the main advantages of this HP laptop. The main drawbacks are the faulty touchpad (one-off?) and the high latencies that can be observed even after just opening the browser. Furthermore, the useless, preinstalled 30-day trial versions of various software also fall under the category "unnecessary"."
