For those prioritizing performance for engineering tasks or gaming, the HP Omen 15 with its more powerful graphics card may be the better choice, though it has half the RAM of the Asus. On the other hand, if general use and portability are more important, the Asus Zenbook Pro 17, with its larger screen, higher brightness, and better battery life, offers a compelling package, especially for creative professionals who value a larger display and longer unplugged usage. Both laptops have a similar price range and ample storage, but the Omen is slightly more portable due to its smaller size. Give Feedback

NotebookCheck
Florian Glaser | January 2021
"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."
