For a balance of performance and portability, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is a strong contender with its sleek design and high-resolution touchscreen, making it ideal for general use and on-the-go productivity. It's also equipped with a capable Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU, suitable for light gaming and creative tasks. However, if your primary focus is on intensive gaming or engineering tasks, the HP Omen 17's more powerful Nvidia RTX 4080 and larger screen real estate will serve you better, albeit at the cost of portability due to its larger size and weight. The Omen's higher performance in 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering applications justifies its bulkier build for users prioritizing these aspects. Give Feedback

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."
