The Razer Blade 15 is very good for engineering and design, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The HP 250 G10, with a basic processor, integrated graphics, lower resolution TN screen, and a fair keyboard quality, is less suitable for intensive engineering and design tasks, which favor powerful CPUs, high-end GPUs, higher resolution screens, and keyboards that can handle long hours of use. In contrast, the Razer Blade 15 excels with its high-performance processor, advanced dedicated graphics card, high-resolution IPS display, and a keyboard rated excellent, all of which significantly enhance engineering and design experiences.

The Razer Blade 15 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 not display colors as vividly and text as sharply due to a lower resolution and brightness, affecting the quality of visuals across various applications. The Razer Blade 15's screen, with a higher resolution and brightness along with wide color gamuts, offers detailed and vibrant images for tasks requiring color accuracy, such as engineering and design. However, for gaming and 3D applications, despite its good resolution and panel quality, the Razer Blade 15's lower refresh rate can result in less fluid motion compared to screens designed specifically for these 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 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
