The HP Omen 15 is pricier but offers a more powerful processor and graphics card, making it better for gaming, 3D, and engineering tasks compared to the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro. However, the IdeaPad 5 Pro is lighter and more portable with a higher resolution display, which might be preferable for general use. Both have similar battery life, but the Omen is less portable due to its weight. If you prioritize performance for intensive tasks and gaming, go for the HP Omen 15; if portability and display are more important, the IdeaPad 5 Pro could be your choice. Give Feedback

The HP Omen 15 and Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro are both good for engineering and design, though the HP Omen 15 is somewhat better.
The HP Omen 15 delivers robust engineering performance with a potent CPU and GPU combination and ample storage, but the lower screen resolution may affect design clarity, compared to the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro which boasts a higher resolution and bigger screen with better color coverage for precise design work, though with a slightly less powerful GPU for demanding tasks. While both have good portability and quality keyboards, the HP Omen may produce more operating noise, and although the Lenovo is lighter with a quieter operation, its smaller storage capacity could be a limitation for extensive engineering projects.

"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."

"The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro turns out a successful all-rounder that, aside from 3D applications, always strikes a good or very good figure. This begins with the elegant metal case that isn't particularly light but fairly robust, giving a high-quality impression. The input devices are also better than those of many competitors. Both the keyboard and the touchpad are attractive and comfortable. In addition, the performance of the Ryzen 5 6600HS is easily able to keep up with the Intel competitors."
