Omen 16 over TUF:
Efficient Processor with slightly better performance but lower power consumption and better thermals.
High speed DDR5 5600 vs DDR4 3200 on TUF
Brighter 300 nits (actually goes near 350-nits as per reviews) vs 250-nits in TUF
Arguably slightly better asthetics and non-gamery look.
Most powerful integrated GPU 780M @ 2800 MHz which can enable you to disable the discreate Graphics card and still enjoy good enough Graphics performance and extending the battery life, if required.
better 1080p webcam vs 720p on TUF
TUF over Omen 16:
Has Thunderbolt 4 vs just USB 3.2 Gen 2 on Omen, enabling it to connect external GPU dock and other TB accessories.
Slightly cheaper.
A few things I would like to mention is that the OP is wrong about the brightness on the TUF in his first comment, it's not 250-nits but 300-nits and 100% sRGB display. I've only read about Omens with QHD displays going above the advertised 300-nits to 350-370, but not sure about the FHD models, I could be wrong.
Also, real-life difference between DDR4 and DDR5 is negligible or not significant enough. It's a well-known fact now and OP himself has mentioned this on quite a few threads in the past. But yes, it's good to have something recent and more future proof.
The TUF also has a bigger battery, but the battery runtimes would probably be the same as Ryzen processor in the Omen here is more power efficient. The former is also almost a pound lighter making it more portable.
This is a good deal, no doubt but you can get the same things done from the TUF as well for $100 cheaper. But if spending that money is no problem then this Omen is a no-brainer.
Another thing I forgot to mention in the previous post, the HP's display is significantly superior compared to TUF in gaming performance due to higher refresh rate (165 Hz vs 144 Hz) and far better response time. The 1080p 144Hz display in TUF has very slow pixel response.
You can check the below review of Omen 16 with exact same hardware and 7840HS. 7840HS offers similar thermals and performance (Slightly better single core with 7940HS) but overall very similar thermal performance.

Now regarding build quality wise, both are budget laptops but I think TUF is a bit rigid among these two but mostly plastic. On the other hand, HP is using metal casing with Black Plastic cover. So, it may look plasticky but the whole chassis internally is made of metal and due to that has far better stability than the previous Omen models. This is true for both 2023 Intel and AMD models.

TUF over Omen 16:
What about comparing the build quality and thermals while gaming? Assume I'm going to use it on the desk with separate keyboard, mouse, and monitor, so those aspects don't matter as much.
