The ASUS ROG Strix G15 G513 comes with an aluminum lid and a plastic base, which is standard in more affordable configurations. The laptop is decently sturdy, resisting our attempts to flex when we tried to twist it. In terms of the design itself, we find a ROG logo on the aluminum lid, along with a smooth texture, which feels great. The lid opens ...
Both laptops offer the same level of upgradeability, with two SODIMM RAM slots, which can house up to 64GB of DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode, and two M.2 PCIe x4 drives. The difference between them is the number of screws that you have to deal with, with 11 Phillips-head screws for the ASUS, and 8 Phillips-head screws for the HP. Also, the coolin...
The ASUS laptop offers three display choices, all with 15.6-inch diagonal and IPS panels. Two of the panels come with Full HD resolution and either a 144Hz or 300Hz refresh rate. The last panel increases the resolution to QHD and has a 165Hz refresh rate. Our laptop came with the 300Hz Full HD option, which has a pixel density of 142 PPI, a pitch o...
PWM – Screen flickering
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is an easy way to control monitor brightness. When you lower the brightness, the light intensity of the backlight is not lowered, but instead turned off and on by the electronics with a frequency indistinguishable to the human eye. In these light impulses, the light/no-light time ratio varies, while brightness remains unchanged, which is harmful to your eyes. You can read more about that in our dedicated article on PWM. In terms of flickering both panels show no u...
Blue light emissions
Installing our Health-Guard profile not only eliminates PWM but also reduces the harmful Blue Light emissions while keeping the colors of the screen perceptually accurate. If you’re not familiar with the Blue light, the TL;DR version is – emissions that negatively affect your eyes, skin, and your whole body. You can find more information about that in our dedicated article on Blue Light.
Here at LaptopMedia, we create a set of custom-tailored profiles for every notebook we review. They boost the productivity of display and reduce negative effects such as blue light emissions and PWM.

Both laptops have bottom-firing speakers, which is a bummer, but it is what it is. The ASUS speaker setup produces deep and quality sound thanks to the Dolby Atmos support and shows no deviations across the entire frequency range. On the other hand, the HP laptop also produces good audio, but has some deviations across the frequency range, while al...
The way we conduct our battery tests is with the Windows Better performancesetting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits, and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. The ASUS device has a lead when it comes to the size of the battery, with a 90Wh battery unit, while the HP Omen 15 gets a 71Wh b...
Both systems come equipped with the Zen 3-based Ryzen 5000H-series and the RTX Ampere GPUs, which are the newest to come out from AMD and NVIDIA, respectively. Since the units that we tested had the exact same specs, we can have a true performance metric and can determine which laptop truly performs better.
Max CPU load
In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering. In terms of cooling setups, both laptops came prepared. The Strix G15 has a total of six heat pipes, with one for both the CPU and GPU, which both...
Real-life gaming
The GPU tests, in our opinion, also went in favor of the Strix G15, as while the Omen 15 laptop runs really cool, its GPU has a max TDP of 100W, which doesn’t allow for more performance to be squeezed out of it, which translates to a way lower clock speed, despite the low 70°C temperature. Interestingly, our unit wasn’t capable of running at the full 100W potential of its GPU.
Gaming comfort
Both systems had an outside temperature of above 40°C, with the Strix G15 being around 2°C cooler.
These laptops are very different and are targeting different people. The Strix G15 targets more hardcore gamers, with an aggressive design and RGB, which will for sure capture a large share of the gaming market. The Omen 15 laptop is way more elegant, with its aluminum unibody construction and simple design is targeting the more minimalistic and gr...
Jun 13, 2023 · Are 15-inch laptops good for gaming? Some of the best gaming laptops are 15-inch models, like the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15, so we would definitely say yes.
Sep 14, 2022 · Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 (15″, 2022)’s IPS panel has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a good contrast ratio. Its backlight doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment, and the 120Hz refresh rate provides a pretty smooth user experience. Especially in gaming.
