The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is a premium 2-in-1 convertible, usable as both a laptop and tablet, with high-resolution display, powerful processor, and robust graphics capabilities, suitable for users needing performance for intensive tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning. Its high price reflects these features, along with its slim, lightweight design for portability, but it offers less battery life. The HP 250 G10 is more affordable, catering to general use with more modest specs, which include a lower quality display and a less powerful processor, making it less suited for demanding applications but provides better battery longevity. Consider the Zenbook if high performance and versatility are key, and the HP for cost-effective, everyday use. Give Feedback

If you prioritize a crisp, vibrant display for everyday tasks like browsing and watching videos, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 with its higher resolution and brighter screen will serve you better than the HP 250 G10.

However, if you're into gaming or working with 3D applications, you'll be hindered by the Zenbook's lower refresh rate, whereas the HP, while also not ideal for these uses, is not specifically designed with a focus on screen qualities important to gaming and 3D rendering.

Charles Jefferies | January 2023
"The Asus Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."

"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."
