The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo 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 screen may disappoint with its lower resolution and dull display, making it less enjoyable for everyday activities, and its limited color range can hinder engineering and design tasks that require precise color accuracy. The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo offers a high-resolution, bright screen that enhances general use and provides a wide color spectrum necessary for professional design work, but its standard refresh rate can detract from the smooth visuals needed in fast-paced gaming and detailed 3D work. Laptops with quicker refresh rates and superior graphics would better serve gaming and 3D modeling enthusiasts.

"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."
"MSI wants to prove that it can do more than just gaming laptops and the Summit E13 Flip is a great example of what the manufacturer is capable of especially in terms of aesthetics and performance. Normally for subnotebooks or convertibles, TDP and performance are often below average as makers want to meet slimmer designs and lower weight targets. The Summit manages to outperform others in its size class and category while still looking sleek and portable in the process. If you want a convertible that won't throttle significantly when under load, then this MSI will be one of the better options you can find."
