Pros and Cons

Acer Chromebook Spin 314

Strengths

The display is a strong point for me, it's a full HD touchscreen stylus compatible
It gets nice and bright, I couldn't find an official number from Acer on it but I'd imagine they may claim it's somewhere up to 300 nits
The keyboard feels nice to type on with medium key travel, most models like mine won't be backlit but checking the US spec page it looks like there is a less common option for that
The trackpad is pretty standout, it's large and responds well, although I don't think it's glass, ASA brand it as ocean glass which seems to mean it's made from what Asus is 100% ocean bound plastic
The Chromebook has been decent in performance, you can see games like Fortnite running just fine with the Pentium silver n6000 and General performance has been really good as well
It has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 certified Port wise connectivity is decent
You'll get updates to Chrome OS all the way through to June 2031, thanks to the recently extended AE dates from Google

Weaknesses

The build quality is all plastic which may not be ideal for some users but it feels pretty solid in a positive way and weighs in at a fair 1.52 kg
There's no second USBC Port, but I guess they've given you that HDMI port in its place
Sadly the webcam doesn't have a privacy slider control and there's not much to shout about here
You may partly expect the Chromebook feeling a little hot sometimes through the bottom plastic due to the fan design and plastic build
Battery life has been good but you may need to charge it on the second day of light usage
The speakers are decent but it's not clear if the DTs branding has anything to do with that
There are model variations without the full HD screen, they'll just say HD ready and have a resolution of 1366 by 768 display out

Honor MagicBook X 15

Strengths

The laptop has a really nice display, with crisp images and decent color accuracy.
It's built really well, looks great, and feels premium for a sub-3000 ringgit laptop.
The battery life is good, lasting around 6 hours in normal usage.
The MagicBook X 15 has a smooth trackpad that works well with gestures.

Released in 2022, this device combines the spin's convertibility with a larger form factor and updated processor. Priced affordably at £170 (around $220), it offers impressive build quality, decent performance, and a notable battery life. I'll dive into the details of my experience with this Chromebook, including its display, keyboard, trackpad, and performance, to help you decide if it's the right choice for your needs.

Honor MagicBook X 15

The HONOR MagicBook X 15 is a budget-friendly laptop that offers a lot for its price tag of just RM2,899.
