Given that the HP 250 G10 is less expensive, it's more suitable if the budget is a primary concern and basic tasks are the main use. It also offers a larger screen size, which might be preferred for reading and productivity, but with lower resolution and less vibrant display technology compared to the Samsung. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, while more expensive, provides a higher quality OLED touch display, a more powerful processor suitable for demanding tasks, and significant portability with its lighter weight and 2-in-1 convertible design. The Samsung would suit creative tasks or frequent travel better, whereas the HP 250 G10 is a solid choice for cost-effective, everyday computing. Give Feedback

"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."

"Samsung gets all the basics right with the Book2 360. Its convertible design works well in both laptop and tablet modes, yet still manages to be highly portable, with impressive battery life and eye-catching AMOLED display. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 measures just 12.9mm thick and weighs 1.16kg, making it one of the most affordable ultra-portables currently available. It’s sturdily built too, so it can cope with life on the road."
