The Razer Book 13 is good for general use, while the HP 250 G10 is only fair.
The HP 250 G10, with its lower-end CPU and basic screen quality, delivers adequate performance for general tasks but falls short on the sharper visuals and processing speed that the Razer Book 13, with its superior i7 processor and high-resolution IPS touch screen, easily provides. While both are equipped with the same amount of RAM and substantial storage, the Razer Book 13's advantage in portability and battery life makes it well-suited for users needing a blend of mobility and solid performance for a range of tasks.

The Razer Book 13 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The HP 250 G10 is lackluster for gaming and 3D because it has a basic Intel UHD Graphics GPU and a low-resolution TN screen, which are not suitable for graphically-intensive tasks. On the other hand, the Razer Book 13 offers fair performance in these areas thanks to a more powerful Iris Xe GPU and a higher resolution IPS screen, providing better visuals and responsiveness for gaming and 3D applications.

The Razer Book 13 is good for engineering and design, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The HP 250 G10 has a less powerful CPU and GPU and lower screen quality, making it less suited for the demands of engineering and design, while the Razer Book 13 is equipped with a higher-end CPU and superior integrated graphics, along with a high-quality display, better serving the intensive processing and visual clarity needed in such tasks. Despite the HP being slightly heavier and having a lower portability score, the Razer Book also leads with a more compact size and better keyboard, enhancing its suitability for professionals on the go.

"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 Razer Book is like an XPS 13, but faster. The Book 13 combines the design philosophy and performance of a Blade Stealth with the 16:10 display of a Dell XPS 13 for an impressive piece of hardware. Office users who want something more stylish than the typical Dell, HP or Lenovo will certainly find themselves drawn to this Razer subnotebook. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche."
