Pros and Cons

Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514

Strengths

It's one of the highest spec Chromebook Plus models I've shown on the channel.
It feels like the lid is aluminum with plastic for the rest of the chassis, but certainly feeling very rigid, very premium in the hand.
The rounded corners on all edges are really nice to handle.
The keyboard deck is nicely laid out and looking very similar again to that Spin 714.
The touch display is looking great on first impression. It's 14 in. It's coated in Gorilla Glass. And it's a WXGA resolution, so that's 1920 x 1200.
It covers 100% of the sRGB color space, so colors should look really accurate.

Weaknesses

The Chromebook Plus Spin 514 sits below the more premium Chromebook plus Spin 714.
The available specs and prices are not fully disclosed until later in the video.
It's not clear if it feels too heavy for what it is.
There's no mention of a pen option with this model, unlike the Spin 714.
Availability in the UK is looking a little low.
Some configurations have less storage (128 gig universal flash storage).

Asus ProArt PZ13

Strengths

The OLED screen provides a great value compared to Microsoft's offering
The keyboard case is included, which adds value to the device
The pen is okay for everyday use but may frustrate artists who require high accuracy and line smoothness
The device comes with 1TB of storage, which is more than the base configuration of the Surface Pro
Adobe and other software work well on the device

Weaknesses

The pen technology (WPP) may not be suitable for artists who require high accuracy and line smoothness
The device's price starts at $1,110, which is higher than the base configuration of the Surface Pro
The Surface Pro has a more accurate and stable pen, but it requires purchasing a separate keyboard to charge the pen
The storage upgrade on the Surface Pro costs $200, which is more expensive than upgrading the storage on the ASUS ProArt PZ13
The device's initial activation rate may not be suitable for artists who require high precision
