Pros and Cons

Acer Aspire Go 15

Strengths

The Alder Lake chip in this laptop performs quite well
The battery life is decent with about 7-8 hours of use
The large case helps keep it cool and quiet
Acer's domestic presence means better support experience

Weaknesses

Performance not as good as older Ryzen processors
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module didn't work with Linux due to driver issues
Fan is always running and can be distracting
Price may not be worth the cost compared to more powerful devices

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360

Strengths

It has a decent bit of life left with Chrome OS updates till June 2031.
The build feels very robust when closed and looks pretty smart to my eye.
The touchscreen display is really good, perhaps too nice considering the processor and RAM it's paired with.
It's fully convertible, offering a range of uses including tablet mode.
The screen has a 2560x1600 WQXGA resolution, above full HD but not at 4K.
The speakers get loud enough if used in a clamshell set up on a surface like a desk.
It's Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6 compatible.

Weaknesses

The Intel Celeron N4500 processor is from 2021, not exactly the latest.
Only 4GB of RAM which may cause performance issues with heavy use.
128GB of storage (although there are 64GB models available).
Typing experience on the keyboard isn't what I'd call enjoyable due to deep key travel and little feedback.
The touchpad is plastic, small, but feels well constructed.
Performance-wise for a single user, it's okay with light browsing, but may struggle with more demanding tasks.
It would be better if the Pentium Silver from this generation (n6000) was used instead of the Celeron.
