The HP Omen 15 offers higher performance for tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming due to its stronger GPU and CPU. It has a larger screen, more storage, and is better suited for intensive gaming, but is heavier, making it less portable. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro, on the other hand, is lighter, more portable, has a higher resolution touchscreen, and is more affordable, but it has less storage and its integrated graphics aren't suitable for heavy gaming or demanding engineering tasks. The Lenovo's superior battery life and portable design make it a better choice for general use and productivity on the go. Give Feedback

The HP Omen 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro is only fair.
The HP Omen 15 offers superior gaming and 3D performance mainly due to its more powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU and higher screen refresh rate of 144Hz, compared to the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro which has a lesser Intel Iris Xe GPU and a refresh rate of 90Hz. Though both have high-quality IPS displays, the HP's GPU and refresh rate are more decisive factors for gaming and 3D applications.

The HP Omen 15 has a better screen than the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro for software development, and content creation, while the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro has a better screen for general use, and engineering and design.
For general use, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro likely offers sharper visuals and better brightness, enhancing the clarity and vibrancy of images and text, while for engineering and design tasks, its display must provide wider color coverage, ensuring more accurate color reproduction which is critical for precise design work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both the HP Omen 15 and Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro fall short because they lack high refresh rates, which are crucial for smooth motion and a more immersive experience in fast-paced visual environments. Despite their sufficient resolution and acceptable panel types, without those higher refresh rates, they won't satisfy users looking for the best gaming or 3D visualization performance.

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."

Allen Ngo | October 2021
"The main selling point of the IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro versus a regular IdeaPad Slim 7 is its faster Core H-series CPU. In reality, the Core i7-11370H is only marginally faster than the U-series Core i7-1165G7 to the point where most users are not likely to notice the benefits. The slight performance uptick comes at the cost of slightly higher power consumption as well meaning owners will have to deal with potentially warmer temperatures or louder fans to compensate. Unless if you happen to be a power user, then the regular non-Pro model will be more than enough. Once you go 90 Hz, you can't go back."
