The HP 250 G10 is a budget-friendly choice and may suit your basic needs with modest performance and battery life. However, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, although pricier, offers higher performance for more demanding applications, an OLED screen with better resolution and touch capabilities, and a convertible 2-in-1 design that adds tablet functionality. The HP is heavier and has a lower quality display, so if portability and screen quality are priorities and you don't mind spending more, the Samsung is a superior option. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The HP 250 G10 falls short for gaming and 3D applications because it has a weaker GPU and lower screen refresh rate compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, which is equipped with a better GPU and higher refresh rate, making the latter more suitable for these tasks despite both having moderate CPUs and screen quality.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good for engineering and design, while the HP 250 G10 is poor.
The HP 250 G10's entry-level CPU and basic integrated GPU, paired with an inferior TN panel screen with low resolution, hinder its performance and visual fidelity for engineering and design tasks, whereas the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 boasts a robust processor, superior integrated graphics, and a high-quality OLED touchscreen with better color coverage, which are crucial for intensive software and detailed work.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the HP 250 G10 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360's superior panel type, higher resolution, and greater brightness contribute to its very good screen quality, offering crisp and clear visuals, while the HP 250 G10's poorer performance in these areas leads to a less satisfying viewing experience. When it comes to engineering and design, the Galaxy Book3 360's coverage of broader color gamuts ensures that it can display a wide range of colors precisely, a key requirement for professional design work, which the HP 250 G10 does not support as proficiently. However, for gaming and 3D where high refresh rates are crucial for smooth motion, both the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and the HP 250 G10 may fall short, with the Galaxy Book3 360's other screen qualities not compensating enough for a potentially lower refresh rate.

"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 Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 isn’t a laptop that the Korean manufacturer has shouted from the rooftops about, and it seems to have gotten little attention from anywhere. But, it is absolutely a laptop worth paying attention to. Compared to higher-priced devices, like the Dell XPS 13 (2022) and Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2023), it manages to offer a similar day-to-day experience despite the price difference. It’s really hard to justify the extra cash unless a boosted display is a requirement of yours."
