HP OMEN 15 vs HP POWER 15

[xavierif]

Hello,

To be honest the main purpose of the laptop is not gaming! I want one of this because is the cheapest way to have a 7700hq laptop. I would use it for virtual machines, pentesting and some other curiosities 😛
So I can buy one of them for exactly the same price. Both have the same specs (7700hq, 1tb, 8gb, 1050), the unique difference is:

- HP OMEN has 1050 4gb VS HP POWER has 1050 2gb.
- HP POWER has more battery life.

Apart from this, the main differences are physical.

What do you think?

I add links of both (Specs may vary):

1050 4gb will be a lot better than 1050 2gb. For any gaming-level laptop, the battery life is going to be so low during gaming that the battery life difference won't be too huge. So get the HP Omen since 4gb of VRAM is a hell of a lot better for modern gaming than 2gb.

Thanks for your answer.
I don't mind battery life while gaming because it is not the purpose of this laptop.

Any other opinions? What about aesthetics?
