When choosing between the HP 250 G10 and the LG Gram 17, consider your priorities. The HP is less expensive, making it a more budget-friendly option. However, it has a smaller screen with lower resolution, less storage and memory, and potentially lower processing power. Its heavier weight makes it less ideal for frequent travel. In contrast, the LG Gram 17 is priced higher but offers a larger, higher-resolution display, more storage and memory, and a more powerful processor, which can handle more demanding tasks. It is also lighter, enhancing portability for those who move around a lot. The LG Gram's higher price reflects its advanced features, making it suitable for those who need a high-performing, portable laptop and are willing to invest more. The HP offers basic functionality at a more accessible price point, suitable for general use or less resource-intensive tasks. Give Feedback

The LG Gram 17 is very good for general use, while the HP 250 G10 is only fair.
The LG Gram 17 outshines the HP 250 G10 for general use primarily due to its superior processing power, double the RAM, and a much higher quality screen with better resolution and color accuracy, coupled with its light weight, contributing to exceptional portability and longer battery life. While both have fair keyboards and build quality, the HP falls short with a lower-grade screen and CPU, less RAM and storage capacity, all of which affect its general performance and usability compared to the LG Gram 17's higher specs.

The LG Gram 17 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 likely has a lower-resolution display with dull colors and limited brightness, making it less suitable across all use cases. The LG Gram 17, with its higher resolution and brightness, offers crisp, vibrant visuals that benefit general use and engineering tasks but falls short for gaming due to a refresh rate that isn't high enough for fast-paced action. For engineering and design, the LG Gram 17 provides better coverage of professional color gamuts, essential for accurate color work, but this doesn't offset the refresh rate needed for smooth 3D rendering.

"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 LG Gram 17 is a light office laptop with a large display and great battery life. The newest incarnation of the Gram 17 can be classified as a model update. LG uses the predecessor's compact, light magnesium case along with an identical port configuration (including 2x Thunderbolt 4) and keyboard. Changes can be found in the hardware. With the Gram 17 (2022), LG offers a light (approx. 1,350 g), mobile work device - and finally with a matte display."
