The ASUS Vivobook 16, being more expensive, offers a larger and better-quality display, higher resolution, and a more powerful AMD processor, suitable for more intensive tasks like 3D modeling and engineering software. It also has a larger battery capacity, which may translate into longer usage between charges, and a more premium build. The HP 250 G10 is more budget-friendly, with less processing power due to its Intel N200 processor, making it more suitable for basic tasks like web browsing and document editing. It has a smaller battery and uses a lower-quality TN panel with a lower resolution, so the display won’t be as sharp or vibrant as the ASUS. If you require portability and modest computing needs, the HP could suffice, but if you need better performance and a higher quality display, the ASUS might be worth the extra cost. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook 16 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook 16 is better suited for gaming and 3D applications than the HP 250 G10 due to its significantly stronger integrated GPU in the Ryzen processor and a higher resolution IPS display which offers better screen quality. The HP 250 G10, on the other hand, has a basic Intel UHD Graphics GPU and a lower resolution TN display, resulting in poorer performance and lesser screen quality for gaming and 3D tasks.

The ASUS Vivobook 16 is good for engineering and design, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook 16 outshines the HP 250 G10 for engineering and design owing to its superior AMD Ryzen CPU and Vega GPU, which are essential for such workloads, coupled with a quality IPS display that delivers better color reproduction and viewing angles. Conversely, the HP's Intel N200 CPU and UHD graphics, paired with a lower-quality TN display, offer weaker performance and less ideal visuals for demanding engineering applications and design work.

The ASUS Vivobook 16 has a better screen than the HP 250 G10 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
When choosing between the ASUS Vivobook 16 and the HP 250 G10 for general use, consider that the Vivobook offers a more balanced screen with respectable resolution and brightness, leading to a clearer and more vibrant display, whereas the HP may appear dimmer and less sharp. If you are into engineering and design, the Vivobook again takes the lead with better coverage of professional color gamuts, ensuring more accurate color reproduction, which is pivotal for this kind of work, compared to the HP which falls short in color precision. For gaming and 3D applications, the Vivobook's screen falls below expectations due to a lower refresh rate, which is crucial for smooth motion; meanwhile, the HP also does not fit the bill for high-end gaming or 3D rendering for the same reasons, despite additional shortcomings in resolution and panel type.

"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."
