The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 is good for general use, while the HP 250 G10 is only fair.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a better experience for general use due to its superior CPU, RAM, and high-quality OLED screen, alongside a longer battery life and a more robust build, at the expense of being less lightweight compared to the HP 250 G10. Meanwhile, the HP 250 G10, despite its comparable amount of RAM, falls behind with a less powerful CPU, lower resolution TN screen, and shorter battery life, yet it may appeal to those prioritizing portability and a lower cost.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 provides better gaming and 3D experiences because it is equipped with a powerful Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti GPU, which is very important, and has a high-quality OLED screen; while the HP 250 G10 lags behind with a less capable Intel UHD Graphics and a lower-quality TN panel, affecting both screen quality and gaming performance. Additionally, both laptops have the same screen refresh rates, but the superior GPU and screen of the ASUS make it more suitable for gaming and 3D tasks.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 has a better screen than the HP 250 G10 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 boasts a higher resolution, a vibrant display with excellent color coverage, meeting the demands of engineering and design professionals who need precise color representation but falls short in gaming due to a lower refresh rate which is essential for smooth motion. Conversely, the HP 250 G10, with its lower resolution and limited color range, does not provide the visual fidelity desired for general browsing, nor the specific color accuracy required by design users, and its subpar refresh rate would detract from the gaming experience. Hence, while the Zenbook Pro excels in providing crisp visuals for productivity and creative work, gamers may find the experience lacking, whereas the HP 250 G10 doesn't effectively cater to any of these use cases due to its inferior display characteristics.

"The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."

"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."
