If you need a laptop with higher performance for tasks like intensive engineering, 3D work, or gaming, the Dell Inspiron 14 7435 has a more powerful processor and graphics, offering a better experience for these demanding applications. However, the HP 250 G10 is more affordable and may be sufficient for general use like web browsing, office applications, and media consumption. The Dell also boasts a higher resolution display with better color accuracy, making it suitable for tasks where visual detail is important. Both laptops are similar in size and weight, meaning portability is comparable. The Dell's higher price tag reflects its additional capabilities, so if budget is a primary concern, the HP may be the right choice; conversely, if performance and display quality are priority, the Dell should be considered despite the higher cost.

The Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 is good for general use, while the HP 250 G10 is only fair.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 is considered good for general use because it has a high-resolution IPS display for better screen quality, more storage space, and is lightweight yet offers flexible use as a 2-in-1 convertible, enhancing its portability and battery life. In contrast, the HP 250 G10, while also having ample RAM, is held back by a lower resolution TN display and less storage, which affects overall performance for general tasks but offers superior heat management and less operating noise.

The Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 is considered fair for gaming and 3D because it houses an AMD Vega 8 GPU which offers moderate graphical capabilities, whereas the HP 250 G10 is rated poorly due to its less capable Intel UHD Graphics GPU, affecting game performance and 3D application fluidity. Both laptops have similar screen refresh rates, but the GPU plays a crucial role in handling gaming and 3D tasks effectively, which gives the Dell an edge over the HP for these specific purposes.

The Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 has a better screen than the HP 250 G10 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 offers acceptable screen quality for everyday tasks due to its balanced resolution and brightness, but for engineering and design works, the limited color gamut coverage means less accurate color representation. Although suitable for daily use, its screen falls short for gaming and 3D applications primarily because the refresh rate isn't high enough for the smooth visuals these activities require. On the other hand, the HP 250 G10's screen doesn't quite meet the mark even for general use, with subpar brightness and resolution making it less vibrant and sharp, and these shortcomings also affect its performance in specialized tasks like engineering, design, and 3D where color precision and smooth visuals play a significant role.

Eric Grevstad | August 2023
"We see no shame in an economy laptop missing the four-star mark. Frankly, we considered giving the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 three-and-a-half stars for its low price, competitive performance, and long battery life. Unfortunately, working with a screen that can't deliver at least 300 nits of brightness is simply no fun to the point of detrimental. Still, if you're looking for a convertible laptop on a tight budget, it's worth keeping an eye on Dell's sales and discounts. That Lavender Blue model is fairly tempting."

"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."
