日本HP 250 G10 review – Balancing Comfort and Cooling Efficiency
Most people don’t need super powerful and expensive laptops for daily or office usage. Nowadays, even most of the low-end CPUs are just fine for normal work if the notebook has a decent amount of RAM and an SSD. The HP 250 G10 is a typical workhorse. It can be configured with 13th Gen U and P-series processor options. There are some Celerons and Pentiums in the mix but we advise you to avoid them since they have just four cores. Most devices rely on an iGPU but if you need more power for graphics-heavy software, you can opt for the optional NVIDIA GeForce MX550.
The machine has a full-sized keyboard with a NumberPad section that can be great for people who are making tons of calculations during the day (like accountants). Because that’s a budget device, the backlight and the fingerprint reader are optional. Display-wise, you have a choice of four panels – three 1080p units and one 768p model. Stay away from the latter, these low-resolution screens should be non-existent in 2023.
One of the biggest advantages of this notebook is the compact dimensions and the privacy shutter for the Web camera. For connectivity, you get Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 which should be enough for most users.
