The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15, with its OLED display and lighter weight, is better for tasks like photo editing and general use, especially if mobility and battery life are priorities. On the other hand, the HP Omen 15, which offers a more powerful graphics card and a higher refresh rate screen, is more suitable if you're interested in intensive gaming or 3D rendering tasks. The Omen 15 is also marginally better for engineering work, but it's heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less portable. Both have the same processor and RAM, supporting similar levels of performance for general tasks. Give Feedback

The HP Omen 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 is only fair.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15's performance for gaming and 3D tasks is limited by its less powerful Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti graphics card and lower screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which means less fluid visuals compared to faster displays. Meanwhile, the HP Omen 15 boasts a more robust Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU and a higher 144Hz screen refresh rate, providing smoother gameplay and better handling of graphically demanding applications.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 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.
For general use, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15's superior resolution and brightness offer crisp, vibrant visuals, but its high-quality panel doesn't translate well to gaming since it lacks the high refresh rate gamers need for smooth action. HP Omen 15, while delivering decent clarity and brightness for everyday tasks, falls behind in providing the fine detail and illumination of the Zenbook. During engineering and design work, the ASUS's broader color gamut ensures accurate color representation, which may not be as precise on the Omen 15, but again, for 3D applications where motion is key, the ASUS's lower refresh rate makes it less suitable than other laptops designed with high refresh displays specifically for that purpose.

The HP Omen 15 and ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 are both good for general use.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a balance of performance with its AMD Ryzen CPU and a quality OLED screen for crisp visuals, alongside its lightweight design and long battery life, making it suitable for general use and easy to carry around. Conversely, the HP Omen 15, with the same type of CPU and adequate RAM for multitasking, excels with a higher refresh-rate screen and superior gaming graphics, with its heavier build and reduced battery life being trade-offs for those requiring more intensive graphics processing power.

The HP Omen 15 and ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 are both good for engineering and design.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15, with its OLED screen, is excellent for engineering and design due to its vibrant color representation and clarity, complemented by a capable CPU, discrete GPU, and sufficient RAM for demanding tasks. On the other hand, the HP Omen 15 offers a faster GPU and a higher screen refresh rate, advantageous for fluid visual simulations and engineering software, paired with the same CPU and RAM configuration for similarly robust performance. Both laptops have trade-offs; the Zenbook is lighter and thus more portable, but the Omen 15 has a better keyboard and cooler operating noise, making it a more comfortable choice for extended use.

"The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."

"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."
