Our Verdict
HP OMEN 16 (2022)
HP Victus 15 (2022)
The HP OMEN 16 (2022) is better than the HP Victus 15 (2022). The OMEN is a higher-end device with better display and GPU configuration options, like a QHD 165Hz panel and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 3070, and 3070 Ti GPUs. The OMEN also has better speakers and a more responsive touchpad. Ports-wise, the OMEN has a wider selection, including a USB-C with Thunderbolt 4 support; however, its HDMI is limited to HDMI 2.0, whereas the Victus supports HDMI 2.1. The OMEN doesn't get as hot or loud as the Victus, but it does lose more performance under load.
