The ASUS Zenbook 14 offers better display quality with its OLED screen and higher resolution, making it a good choice for media consumption and tasks requiring visual precision. However, the HP 250 G10 has twice the RAM, which would generally help with multitasking and overall performance but is paired with a less powerful processor and a lower-quality display. The Zenbook is lighter and more portable, whereas the HP has a slightly larger screen at 15.6 inches compared to 14 inches. Choosing between the two depends on whether you prioritize performance and display quality (ASUS) or potentially better multitasking capabilities (HP). Give Feedback

Florian Glaser | August 2022
"Users who travel frequently and are looking for a portable laptop are in the right place with the Asus ZenBook 14. The sleek case is extremely light (1.2 kg) and surprisingly thin (1.5 cm). Outdoor use is also enjoyable thanks to the bright Full HD display, which is something that can rarely be said about laptops with TN or IPS panels. The excellent battery life complements this as well. Longer trips are no problem with the ZenBook 14. Another plus point is the high-performance Ryzen 7 5700U, which often leaves the Intel competition in the dust thanks to its large number of cores."

Nikolay Palaozov | December 2023
"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."
