Our Verdict

HP OMEN 16 (2022)

Dell Alienware m16 R2 (2024)

The Dell Alienware m16 R2 (2024) is better than the HP OMEN 16 (2022) for most uses. The Dell is available with faster CPUs and GPUs to deliver a smoother gaming experience. It doesn't have as many display options as the HP, but its 240Hz QHD screen is better than all of the HP's display options, as it has a higher refresh rate, faster response time, and VRR support. On the other hand, the HP has a more compact design that makes it easier to carry around. It also doesn't get as hot or loud under load.
