Performance scores
HP 250 G6: the $531 rung, better engine, same era ceilings
The HP 250 G6 is the 2019 step of HP's budget business ladder: a Core i3 6006U at $531, carrying the same flattered graphics placing and the same 8 GB era ceiling as the rungs below it. The engine improves; the contract does not change.
Where it holds up
Graphics is the flagged strength at 45.85 against a business-class median of 3.84 — a top-quarter placing that flatters the i3's integrated part, calibrated by its receipts: Grand Theft Auto V, Rainbow Six Siege and Civilization 6 confirm at minimum settings. The office floor holds at 40.19 mid-band, portability edges up to 44.2 mid-band, and the CPU score of 23.61 pulls clear of the older rungs' single-digit readings. At $531 with a modeled 8.45 percent yearly decline, the price-to-years arithmetic stays gentle for the segment.
Where it falls short
The flagged weakness is the 8 GB memory pool, 80 percent below the business-class median of 40. The value index slips to 27.1, low band — the ticket is starting to outrun the capability. The artifact-high gaming index of 71 still stands over low-band task floors (modeling 23, engineering CAD 18, photo work 29), performance reads 28.74 against a category median of 41.48, and the CPU score of 23.61 against a median of 52.97 is basic-band silicon by the class standard.
Price and depreciation
The asking price sits at $531 with a modeled decline of 8.45 percent a year. No launch anchor is recorded, so the resale math stays at the rate level — a class-typical glide, slightly steeper than the G5's 8 percent.
Alternatives to consider
The 250 G7 in this batch is the direct upgrade at $604: 16 GB of memory, performance up to 37.71 mid-band, and Rainbow Six Siege confirmed at recommended level rather than minimum. Downmarket, the G5 at $468 carries the same office floor and flags for $63 less — the cheaper seat of the same platform.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class, the HP 250 G6 is a lateral step: the line's best CPU score to date and three honest min-level greens, still boxed in by 8 GB and a value index drifting into the low band.
