Which is better for gaming?

The HP Omen 17. It has an RTX 5060, a 144Hz screen and 32GB of RAM, while the LOQ 17 runs a 60Hz panel with 16GB.

Is the Lenovo LOQ 17 worth the extra $900?

No, not on specs. At $2,649.00 at Newegg as of November 8, 2026 it costs more than the $1,749.00 Omen while offering less gaming hardware. Its edge is the touchscreen and no-glare panel.

Which has more storage?

The Omen, with a 2TB SSD against 1TB in the LOQ 17.

Which is easier to carry?

They are nearly identical: 6.4 lb for the LOQ 17 and 6.5 lb for the Omen. Neither is a light laptop.

Does either have a touchscreen?

Only the LOQ 17 lists a touchscreen, and it also has a no-glare finish. The Omen does not list touch.

Which has better battery life?

The LOQ 17 states 5 hours. HP does not state battery life for the Omen 17, and a 144Hz gaming panel typically drains fast.
