HP Omen 16 (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 15"

The Verdict

HP Omen 16 and Samsung Galaxy Book4 occupy different market segments despite similar price positioning. HP's 2024 model delivers superior performance with its 20-core Intel Core i7-14700HX processor, 240Hz QHD+ display (2560 x 1440 at 300 nits), and dedicated gaming capabilities. The 16.1-inch screen provides immersive visuals for creative work and gaming, though at 2.36 kg it's heavier than the Galaxy Book4's compact 1.56 kg aluminum frame. Samsung prioritizes everyday portability and longevity with its lighter chassis, superior 10-hour battery life (versus HP's 7 hours), and slim 0.61-inch profile. However, Samsung's 15.6-inch 1080p 60Hz display and 10-core i7-1355U processor are considerably underpowered for demanding tasks. Connectivity favors HP with three USB-A ports, SD card reader, and Thunderbolt support versus Samsung's single USB-A and missing SD slot. Storage remains identical at 512GB. HP Omen 16 is the clear winner for creators, gamers, and power users needing performance and display quality. Choose Samsung Galaxy Book4 if portability and battery life matter most for casual computing, business documents, and web browsing.
