For general use and if you're on a budget, the HP 250 G10 could serve your basic computing needs at a lower cost. However, if you require a laptop for tasks like 3D modeling, machine learning, gaming, or engineering, the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro provides significantly higher performance with top-tier graphics capabilities and a faster processor, but at a higher cost. The Lenovo will also have a sharper and more color-accurate display and better battery life, yet it is heavier and less portable than the HP. If your needs are more demanding and your budget allows, the Lenovo might be worth the extra investment, while the HP is more suited for everyday tasks and users looking for a cost-effective solution.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is very good for general use, while the HP 250 G10 is only fair.
The HP 250 G10 is adequate for general use with a basic CPU and graphics, a lower-quality display, and a lighter weight, which could make it more portable and have longer battery life. In comparison, the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro offers a high-end CPU, top-tier graphics, a superior display with higher resolution and brightness, more storage and RAM, but this comes at the cost of increased weight and lower portability, and possibly shorter battery life.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has a better screen than the HP 250 G10 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If you're looking at the HP 250 G10, its screen might not be sharp, bright, or vivid enough for any of the uses mentioned, with subpar color accuracy affecting engineers and designers the most. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, however, offers a clear, bright display with wide color coverage, making it suitable for both general use and professional design work. Yet its lower refresh rate could disappoint gamers and those working with fast-moving 3D graphics, who typically benefit from smoother visuals during rapid on-screen action.

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."

"Passionate gamers who want to play demanding modern titles with maximum details and don't mind spending the moolah will find the Lenovo Legion 7 Pro to be the right choice. The bright, sharp, and color-accurate 16:10 QHD 240 Hz display makes for an immersive viewing experience. The hardware is housed in a stylish chassis that feels premium and scores well in terms of workmanship and stability. Other aspects such as sound quality, input devices, and connectivity also seem to be near-perfect."
