The Asus Vivobook 15 offers a full HD IPS display, which is generally better for viewing angles and color reproduction compared to the HP 250 G10's lower resolution TN panel. However, the HP boasts more memory, which can be beneficial for multitasking. Both laptops have similar storage capacity and suit general use well, but the Asus's better screen and build might justify its higher price for those who prioritize display quality and design. On the other hand, the HP's extra memory at a lower cost could be appealing for users with more demanding multitasking needs, despite its lower screen resolution. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook 15 has a better screen than the HP 250 G10 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
If you prioritize screen quality for general computing tasks like web browsing and document editing, the ASUS Vivobook's decent resolution and brightness offer a more comfortable viewing experience than the HP 250 G10, which may appear dim and less sharp. When it comes to engineering and design work, the ASUS Vivobook's better coverage of color gamuts ensures that colors are more accurately represented, which is essential for precise visual work; the HP falls short in this regard, potentially making it less suitable for professional color work. As for gaming and 3D applications, the ASUS Vivobook, while not offering a high refresh rate for ultra-smooth motion, still outperforms the HP 250 G10 due to its higher resolution and panel quality that provide a more immersive experience.

How the ASUS Vivobook 15 and the HP 250 G10 compare to other laptops
"The Asus VivoBook 15 is a quiet office notebook with a strong screen. However, the VivoBook 15 still has room for improvement. Office and internet applications as well as simple games do not pose any major challenges for the VivoBook - this is ensured by the built-in combination of Ryzen 7 5700U APU and 16 GB of RAM. Heat and noise emissions are acceptable. But, the laptop has weaknesses that should not be present at this level: lack of keyboard lighting, a slow memory card reader, no fast USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 4) with Power Delivery and DisplayPort. Battery runtimes can only be described as average."
"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."
