The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 excels in tasks requiring a powerful processor and GPU, making it suitable for engineering, 3D rendering, and machine learning, as well as offering excellent screen quality with high resolution and color coverage, though this comes at a higher price. The HP Omen 15, while less expensive, provides good value for gaming with a higher refresh rate display, decent performance for general use and gaming, along with a slightly better battery life, which might be a more budget-friendly option for everyday use and entertainment. Consider the ASUS if you need top-notch performance and visuals for professional tasks, and the HP for general use, casual gaming, and better value. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is very good for general use, while the HP Omen 15 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers a superior screen with high resolution and vivid colors, more RAM for multitasking, and includes a powerful CPU, yet it is less portable and offers shorter battery life than the HP Omen 15, which, while providing ample RAM and an adequate CPU for general tasks, also offers longer battery life and better heat management, making it better suited for extended use on the go.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is excellent for engineering and design, while the HP Omen 15 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is preferred for engineering and design due to its more powerful Intel i9 processor, double the RAM, and higher-quality OLED screen with superior resolution, making it excellent for detailed work. In comparison, the HP Omen 15 offers a slightly less powerful AMD processor and less RAM, but its IPS screen and GPU still perform well for engineering tasks, though with less visual precision; it also beats the ASUS in battery life and has a higher portability score, making it easier to carry around.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 has a better screen than the HP Omen 15 for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers a high-resolution display with vibrant color accuracy that makes it exceptionally suitable for tasks that demand visual detail, such as graphic design and engineering applications, but its standard refresh rate makes it less ideal for gaming where fast refresh rates are crucial. The HP Omen 15, while providing good resolution and reasonably accurate colors for everyday use and professional design work, similarly falls short for gaming due to its lower refresh rate. In both cases, while the displays are capable for general and professional creative uses because of their resolution and color fidelity, gaming performance is compromised by their inadequate refresh rates compared to screens tailored for that purpose.

How the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 and the HP Omen 15 compare to other laptops
"Benchmarks aside, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is hard to compare with other PCs. Its closest competition may be a multi-monitor desktop, or a laptop with an attached travel monitor. The Pro Duo is more portable and versatile than either of those options, especially with the software tools Asus has thrown on top. For a certain niche of artists, media creators, and gamers, all that might add up to something special, even if it’s unattainable for the rest of us."
"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."
