Choosing between the Acer Aspire 3 15 and HP 250 G10 comes down to your preferences in a few key areas. The Acer Aspire has an AMD Ryzen processor, which could be faster and better suited to multitasking than the HP's Intel N200. However, the HP includes more memory, which is beneficial for running multiple applications at once. The Acer features a higher resolution display, providing clearer and crisper visuals compared to the HP's lower resolution screen. If battery life is crucial, the Acer's battery capacity is slightly less than the HP's, which may affect how long you can use the laptop without charging. For portability, the HP is slightly lighter, making it easier to carry around. Both laptops come with Windows 11 Home and are similar in size and other connectivity options. Choose the Acer for better screen resolution and potentially stronger processor performance, or the HP for more memory and a bit more portability. Give Feedback

Rtings

Alexander Tozzi, Ryan Lim, and Yannick Khong | March 2023
"The Acer Aspire 3 is okay for school use. It feels reasonably well-built, and it's easy to carry around. The display looks decently sharp and provides plenty of space for multitasking, but it doesn't get bright enough to combat glare. Its Intel Core i3-N305 CPU and integrated graphics can only handle simple tasks, like text processing, web browsing, and video playback, so it isn't ideal for students in more technical fields like 3D graphics. Unfortunately, the battery lasts only around six to seven hours of light use."

Nikolay Palaozov | December 2023
"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."
