The HP Omen 17 is excellent for gaming and AI, while the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is only fair.
The HP Omen 17 outperforms the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 in gaming and 3D tasks due to its more powerful Nvidia RTX 4080 graphics card and higher screen refresh rate of 165 Hz, compared to the Galaxy Book2 360's integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and 60 Hz display. Although both have comparable CPUs and screen quality, for gaming and 3D applications, GPU and screen refresh rate are more influential, making the Omen 17 the superior choice in this regard.

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."

"Samsung gets all the basics right with the Book2 360. Its convertible design works well in both laptop and tablet modes, yet still manages to be highly portable, with impressive battery life and eye-catching AMOLED display. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 measures just 12.9mm thick and weighs 1.16kg, making it one of the most affordable ultra-portables currently available. It’s sturdily built too, so it can cope with life on the road."
