The HP Omen 15 generally costs slightly more and has a larger storage capacity compared to the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro, which is often slightly less expensive but comes with less storage. The Omen 15 also has a longer battery life, making it more suitable for use away from power sources. However, the Legion 5i Pro has a more powerful processor and GPU, which translates into better performance for demanding tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming. Furthermore, the Legion's display is superior in terms of resolution and color accuracy, making it better for engineering and creative tasks where image detail and color representation are vital. Both are similarly equipped with ports, but the Legion 5i Pro offers faster USB-C ports. Additionally, the Lenovo has a sturdier build quality and better heat management. If portability and battery life are key, go for the Omen 15. If performance, display quality, and build are more important, the Legion 5i Pro is the better choice. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i is very good for engineering and design, while the HP Omen 15 is good.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i scores higher for engineering and design use due to its more advanced Intel i7 CPU and superior RTX 4060 GPU, which are crucial for such demanding tasks, and it boasts a higher-resolution display with better color accuracy, enhancing detailed visual work. While the HP Omen 15 has a capable AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and RTX 3070 GPU, its lower resolution and color coverage may not meet the needs of high-end engineering and design tasks as effectively as the Lenovo.

The HP Omen 15 has a better screen than the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i for content creation, while the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i has a better screen for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
When considering general use, the HP Omen 15 and Lenovo Legion Pro 5i both offer screens with high resolution and brightness, making text and images crisp and easy to view, but the Lenovo has an edge with a panel that provides slightly better clarity and vibrancy. For engineering and design tasks, accurate color reproduction is crucial, and while both laptops have good coverage of professional color gamuts, the Lenovo's screen handles these color spaces with greater finesse, ensuring more precise color work. However, for gaming and 3D applications where smooth motion is key, neither laptop excels as they have lower refresh rates, which means less fluid visuals in fast-paced scenarios.

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."

Brian Westover | August 2023
"The midpriced Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 follows some of our favorite gaming machines, including last year's model and the higher-end Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 tested earlier this year. But pedigree doesn't count for much in the computer world, and gaming laptops require a certain level of power and graphics performance to justify their prices. The Pro 5i Gen 8 just doesn't do that, offering middling CPU and GPU performance rather than the sort of muscle that would make it a great value."
