The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is good for general use, while the HP 250 G10 is only fair.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers better performance for general use due to its more powerful CPU and graphics card, larger storage, and higher quality IPS display which makes for better viewing angles and color reproduction, but it is less portable and has a shorter battery life compared to the HP 250 G10. While the HP 250 G10 is more portable and has a longer battery life, its lower-quality TN display and less powerful CPU and integrated graphics make it less suited for demanding tasks, though it may suffice for basic use.

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 has a better screen than the HP 250 G10 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers a balance of clear resolution and acceptable brightness, making it suitable for everyday activities, while the HP 250 G10's lower resolution and brightness may result in a less vibrant display. In the context of engineering and design, the ASUS's screen provides a decent range of colors, essential for precision in visual projects, though professionals may seek even higher color accuracy, whereas the HP lags behind in color representation. For gaming and 3D applications, the ASUS's faster refresh rate ensures smoother motion and a better visual experience, which is important for fast-paced scenes, but both laptops may not provide the high resolution or panel quality that enthusiasts often desire.

Allen Ngo | March 2022
"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."

"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."
