When deciding between the Gigabyte Aorus 15P and the HP Omen 17, consider the following tradeoffs: if you prioritize higher refresh rates and portability, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P with a smaller screen is preferable. The Aorus also has more RAM, which may benefit performance-intensive tasks. Alternatively, the HP Omen 17 features a larger and higher resolution display, which is better for detailed visuals but results in a heavier laptop. The Omen's graphics card is newer, offering potentially better gaming or creative performance. Both have similar storage capacity, but the Gigabyte is more expensive, while the HP Omen delivers comparable performance at a lower price point. Give Feedback

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P has a better screen than the HP Omen 17 for gaming and AI, while the HP Omen 17 has a better screen for general use, content creation, and software development.
When considering a laptop for general use, the HP Omen 17's screen is excellent because of its high resolution and brightness, offering a clear and vibrant display that enhances everyday tasks. For engineering and design work, while both laptops have good screens, they may not cover the full range of professional color spaces like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, which can be critical for precise color work. In the realm of gaming and 3D applications, despite their high-quality displays, neither laptop excels due to lower refresh rates, which can limit the smoothness of motion and responsiveness during fast-paced action.

Mike Wobker | June 2021
"The Aorus 15P is a high-end gaming laptop with fast 360 Hz display. Gaming performance in the Aorus 15P YD is very high thanks to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 installed here. However, with the use of the Intel Core i7-11800H, CPU performance also closes in on the strong competition from AMD. SSD performance is excellent as well, and it leaves no room for criticism. Thanks to the built-in Intel Core i7-11800H, the system performance of the Aorus 15P YD increases significantly."

"The HP Omen 17 (2022) gaming laptop has a stylish case and hardware with lots of potential. The HP Omen 17 is a fairly unobtrusive gaming laptop. A material combination of plastic and metal gives the case a high stability and a quality surface feel. The unspectacular design is pleasing and is hardly indicative of the laptop's high performance potential. The Intel Core i7-12700H in particular is able to perform well once again. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is also strong in the gaming notebook. Demanding games run smoothly in Full HD resolution. The HP Omen 17 is a good gaming laptop that delivers partly excellent performance. But even at this performance level, cheaper alternatives are available."
