The Eluktronics RP-15 offers higher performance especially in 3D rendering and machine learning due to its newer processor and more powerful GPU, making it suitable for engineering and intensive gaming, but it has shorter battery life. It also offers a higher resolution display which is better for general use and engineering tasks. Conversely, the HP Omen 15 is priced slightly lower and offers double the storage and significantly better battery life, making it more ideal for general use and longer working sessions away from power outlets. It's slightly heavier, which could affect portability, and the display, while of good quality, has a lower resolution which may not be as suitable for detailed engineering work. Both have comparable build quality and keyboard performance, but the Eluktronics may have an edge in color reproduction on its screen. Give Feedback

The Eluktronics RP-15 has a better screen than the HP Omen 15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
For general use, the Eluktronics RP-15 offers a superior visual experience with its high-resolution display and excellent brightness, making it ideal for a variety of everyday tasks, whereas the HP Omen 15, while still providing a good display, might not be as bright or as sharp. When it comes to engineering and design, the Eluktronics RP-15 stands out with its wide color gamut, ensuring more accurate color representation for professionals who require precision, but the HP Omen 15, despite having a decent color range, is not as comprehensive in color accuracy. For gaming and 3D applications, however, both laptops fall short due to their lower refresh rates, which can impact the fluidity of fast-paced visuals, although they may offer satisfactory resolution and panel quality for less demanding graphics requirements.

Eber Anthony | October 2020
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."

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."
