The HP 250 G10 is less expensive than the Lenovo V15, which could be a key deciding factor if budget is a primary concern. If you need more storage space out of the box, the Lenovo V15 offers a significantly larger built-in storage compared to the HP 250 G10. The Lenovo also has a higher resolution display, which means sharper images and text, beneficial if you work with high-definition content or enjoy streaming in high quality. Performance-wise, the Lenovo V15 is equipped with an AMD Ryzen processor that typically offers good multitasking abilities and performance in daily tasks. However, the HP could still handle everyday computing needs well, despite the performance differences. In terms of graphics, the HP 250 G10 comes with Intel UHD Graphics, which are fine for basic tasks but not for intensive graphics or gaming. The Lenovo has AMD Vega graphics, which are generally better for graphics-intensive tasks than Intel UHD Graphics but still not on par with dedicated gaming or professional graphics cards. If portable use and battery life are critical, you should consider that both laptops have similar battery sizes, but actual usage time will depend on your specific tasks and settings. If you prioritize having a Windows Pro version with additional features for business use, the Lenovo comes with Windows 11 Pro, while the HP includes Windows 11 Home. The HP is slightly lighter, which may be an advantage if you carry your laptop frequently. Ultimately, if your primary considerations are budget and basic usage, the HP 250 G10 may suffice. If you require better performance, more storage, and a higher resolution screen, the additional investment in the Lenovo V15 may be warranted. Give Feedback

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Lenovo V15 to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The HP 250 G10 offers lesser gaming performance due to its weaker Intel UHD Graphics compared to the better performing integrated AMD Vega 7 graphics in the Lenovo V15. Both have the same refresh rate, but the Lenovo V15 also has a higher resolution and better screen quality, all contributing to a more enjoyable and smoother gaming and 3D experience.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Lenovo V15 to be only fair for engineering and design, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The HP 250 G10 is considered poor for engineering and design use because of its lower-resolution screen and less powerful Intel N200 processor and graphics, which can affect the smooth running of demanding engineering applications and detailed design work. In contrast, the Lenovo V15 is rated fair due to its higher resolution display for better clarity and a more capable AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor with integrated Vega 7 graphics that offer improved performance for engineering software and design tasks.

"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 strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
