For someone seeking a more budget-friendly option with the basics covered for everyday tasks such as browsing, office work, and media consumption, the HP 250 G10 is significantly less expensive and should suffice; however, it won't excel in performance with its lower resolution display and modest hardware. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" costs more but offers much higher performance suitable for gaming, 3D applications, and intensive engineering software, paired with a high-resolution display and a dedicated graphics card. It's also a bit heavier, which may impact portability if you frequently travel with your laptop. The choice depends on whether you prioritize saving money and portability over high performance and a better display for advanced tasks. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for general use, while the HP 250 G10 is only fair.
The HP 250 G10 has lower screen resolution and brightness, less impressive CPU and GPU, and a smaller battery capacity than the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16", which means it may perform slower and have less visual clarity during use, yet it will be lighter and potentially more portable. The Lenovo offers a superior screen, more powerful CPU and graphics, and a larger battery, providing better performance and display for varied tasks, but comes at a higher weight, which might detract from its portability compared to the HP.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for gaming and AI, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The HP 250 G10, with its basic Intel UHD Graphics and a screen refresh rate of 60Hz, is not suited for gaming and 3D applications, unlike the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" that excels in these areas due to its high-performance Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU and a much higher screen refresh rate of 240Hz. The HP's screen provides lower resolution and quality which are less important but still relevant for immersive gaming and content creation, whereas the Lenovo offers superior screen quality and resolution enhancing the overall visual experience.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for engineering and design, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The HP 250 G10 is less suitable for engineering and design because it has a basic processor and graphics unit, paired with a low-resolution screen that doesn't offer high color accuracy or brightness. In contrast, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 excels with its powerful processor, advanced dedicated graphics, a high-resolution display with superior color reproduction, all delivering better performance for demanding engineering applications despite being slightly heavier, which impacts its portability.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has a better screen than the HP 250 G10 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The HP 250 G10's display may not offer the clarity and vividness required for any use due to its lower resolution and brightness, hindering its ability to provide a satisfying visual experience in general use, professional engineering, and gaming.

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."

"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
