The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is designed for those who prioritize a high-quality display, better performance, and a more compact form. Its OLED screen provides vibrant colors and deep blacks, suitable for content creators or enjoying media. With a more powerful processor, it can handle demanding tasks and multitasking more effectively. However, it comes at a higher price. On the other hand, the HP 250 G10 is a budget-friendly option with a larger screen size but lower resolution and less powerful graphics, making it more suitable for basic tasks such as web browsing, document work, and non-intensive applications. While it offers more storage space, it does have less processing power than the ASUS, which may limit its ability to run complex software smoothly. Ultimately, if you need a laptop for general use and want to save money, the HP could be a suitable option, but if you're looking for a laptop that can handle more intensive tasks and deliver a premium visual experience, the ASUS might be the better choice despite its higher cost.

Matthew Buzzi | September 2023
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."

"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."
