The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers a robust suite of features including high-end performance suitable for intensive tasks like 3D work, machine learning or gaming, thanks to its powerful processor and advanced graphics card. It has a high-resolution OLED screen which is excellent for professionals needing color accuracy, and it's equipped with multiple ports for connectivity. However, it's heavier and has a shorter battery life, so it's less portable.
On the other hand, the HP 250 G10 is significantly more affordable and lighter, making it more portable and a good fit for basic tasks, like web browsing and document editing, especially for users on the go. However, its lower-resolution screen and less powerful processor and integrated graphics mean it's not ideal for demanding software or multitasking.
Consider the ASUS if you need top-notch performance and have a flexible budget. Opt for the HP if portability and cost are your main concerns, and your computing needs are relatively light. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is very good for general use, while the HP 250 G10 is only fair.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 outshines the HP 250 G10 for general use due to its superior CPU, large RAM, high-quality OLED screen, and overall better performance for various tasks, though it is heavier and has shorter battery life which makes it less portable. In contrast, the HP 250 G10 is more portable because of its lighter weight and longer battery life but it compromises on performance and screen quality with a basic CPU, less RAM, and a lower resolution TN panel, which makes it more suitable for lighter use.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 excels in gaming and 3D due to its powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU, which offers superior graphics performance and capabilities compared to the HP 250 G10's Intel UHD Graphics designed for basic tasks. Additionally, the ASUS's GPU will enhance the gaming experience more significantly than the CPU or screen refresh rate, both of which are similar in the two laptops, with screen quality being higher on the ASUS due to its OLED display.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 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 Duo 15 offers a high-resolution display and brightness suitable for everyday tasks and detailed work in engineering and design but is less ideal for gaming due to its standard refresh rate. In contrast, the HP 250 G10's lower resolution and brightness levels may not provide the clarity and vibrancy needed for both general and professional design purposes. Additionally, the lack of a high refresh rate on the HP 250 G10 also makes it less optimal for 3D gaming, where smoother motion is crucial for the best experience.

"Benchmarks aside, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is hard to compare with other PCs. Its closest competition may be a multi-monitor desktop, or a laptop with an attached travel monitor. The Pro Duo is more portable and versatile than either of those options, especially with the software tools Asus has thrown on top. For a certain niche of artists, media creators, and gamers, all that might add up to something special, even if it’s unattainable for the rest of us."
"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."
