Pros and Cons

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5

Strengths

It has great materials, with really great plastics used in its construction.
Battery life is between about eight and a half to nine hours, effectively all-day battery life.
It's perfect for business people who travel a lot, as well as those who need a solid productivity powerhouse.
The laptop is also suitable for non-profits, given its affordability and serviceability.
Lenovo's warranty and customer service are not too bad, making it a reliable choice.
It's ideal for photographers who want to edit photos on the go or use as a backup hard drive.

Weaknesses

The laptop has slightly better speakers would make it almost perfect.
The keyboard layout is slightly weird, with caps lock being displayed as 'LK'.
Gamers might struggle with the laptop's performance, especially when playing high-end games.
Video editors may also face some limitations, particularly when working with 1080p compressed content.
Audio editors might be okay, but light gaming is not its forte.
The speakers are not very good.

HP OMEN 17

Strengths

The level of gaming performance is actually pretty good, I did not experience any stutters very smooth level of performance.
The design is modern and I personally love it, however once again this is personal preference and this may be a con for you if you do not like it.
The 240 HZ 1440p display is amazing because honestly most laptops do not come with a 1440p 240 HZ display so this one is very nice.
The colors on the display are great as I said before, overall an amazing display.
It's very portable, it's not super heavy and it's ideal if you want to do gaming while traveling.
The level of performance while gaming and also while doing multitasking if you want to do work or study is amazing overall.
You will be happy with the level of performance while gaming.
It's a pretty good deal for $1,800 or $1600 if you go with the big TW version which is cheaper.

Weaknesses

If you do not mind going for a rebuild PC instead or maybe building it yourself you are going to be getting a better price performance.
For the same price you can get faster gaming performance but of course if you need a laptop because you are going to travel or you are at Uni or whatever the reason might be on why you need a laptop then fair enough.
You may not like the modern design which is personal preference.
The only con that I found is that it's not the best option in terms of price performance if you are open to buying a pre-build PC or building a system yourself.
If you want the best price performance, then getting a pre-built PC or building a system yourself might be a better option for you.
The RAM and storage options could be improved compared to other laptops like the big TW version which has 64 gigs of RAM and 2 TB of storage.
It may not have as many features or customization options compared to other laptops in its class.
If you're looking for a laptop with a higher refresh rate display, then this might not be the best option for you.
