The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is good for general use, while the HP 250 G10 is only fair.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition excels in CPU performance with its AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor, provides ample RAM and storage for multitasking and data, and offers a high-quality IPS screen with good color reproduction, though its heft and shorter battery life compromise portability. In contrast, the HP 250 G10, despite its lower performance Intel N200 CPU and less vibrant TN screen, is lighter and more portable, but its reduced battery life and smaller storage capacity limit its efficiency for extensive general use.

"The Asus ROG Strix G15, as the first in a line of "AMD Advantage"-branded notebooks, is a statement that yes, you can get a premium AMD gaming notebook. Maybe you can't have it all, but you can get pretty close. The ROG Strix G15's combination of the AMD Ryzen 5900HX and Radeon RX 6800M, as well as other technologies that take advantage of them, make a potent, thin gaming machine. Powerful Dolby Atmos speakers and long battery life when you aren't gaming are nice bonuses."
"The HP 250 G10 is a decent budget device that surprises us with its high CPU frequencies under load. Still, our configuration has a Core i5-1335U which doesn’t require significant cooling, if choose a 28W P-series processor, maybe the situation with the clocks could be different. If you want to play some casual game after work, a memory in dual-channel is a must because it increases greatly the iGPU performance."
