The HP Omen 17 is less expensive and could be a better option for general use and gaming, with good performance and a larger 17.3-inch display. However, its battery life is shorter than the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro, and it has less RAM. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro is somewhat more expensive, offering superior performance suitable for engineering, 3D, and machine learning tasks, thanks to more RAM and a higher-end processor. It also boasts better battery life and a higher screen resolution on a 16-inch display, making it well-suited for intensive tasks and media consumption. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is very good for general use, while the HP Omen 17 is good.
The Lenovo Legion 7i Pro is considered very good for general use because it has a superior CPU and double the RAM of the HP Omen 17, enhancing multitasking and demanding applications, along with a higher resolution and brighter screen which benefits content viewing. The HP Omen 17 offers a respectable balance for general use with less portability due to its larger display and slightly lower battery life compared to the Legion 7i Pro which has higher battery capacity and a more portable design, but these advantages come at a cost of a higher price for the Legion 7i Pro.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has a better screen than the HP Omen 17 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general usage, both the HP Omen 17 and Lenovo Legion Pro 7i offer sharp and bright displays, with resolutions that make text and images clear and easy to view. The Legion Pro 7i may provide an edge for engineering and design professionals due to its superior color accuracy and wider color gamuts, which ensure that the colors are vibrant and precise for tasks such as photo editing or CAD work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the lower refresh rates on both laptops may lead to less fluid motion and responsiveness, which can be a disadvantage for fast-paced games or 3D rendering where smooth movement is key.

Marc Herter | September 2022
"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."

"Passionate gamers who want to play demanding modern titles with maximum details and don't mind spending the moolah will find the Lenovo Legion 7 Pro to be the right choice. The bright, sharp, and color-accurate 16:10 QHD 240 Hz display makes for an immersive viewing experience. The hardware is housed in a stylish chassis that feels premium and scores well in terms of workmanship and stability. Other aspects such as sound quality, input devices, and connectivity also seem to be near-perfect."
