When choosing between the Eluktronics RP-15 and the HP 250 G10, consider that the Eluktronics RP-15 offers higher performance for tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning thanks to its better processor and graphics card, and it has a higher resolution display with better color accuracy. However, it is more expensive and heavier, making it less portable. On the other hand, the HP 250 G10 is more affordable and lighter, making it easier to carry around, but it has lower performance capabilities and a lower resolution screen, which is less suitable for intensive tasks and not as good for viewing high-quality media.

Eber Anthony | October 2020
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."

"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."
