The Dell Latitude 5530 is only fair for engineering and design, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The Dell Latitude 5530 is better suited for engineering and design use due to its higher-performing CPU and Iris Xe GPU, which provide more robust processing and graphics capabilities required for such tasks, alongside better screen quality with an IPS display panel offering better viewing angles and color accuracy. In contrast, the HP 250 G10 falls short due to its less powerful Intel N200 processor and weaker onboard graphics, along with inferior screen quality stemming from a TN panel with lower resolution and color coverage, making it less ideal for demanding engineering and design applications.

Nikolay Palaozov | December 2023
"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."
