Acer Spin 3

The Acer Spin 3 is a versatile 2-in-1 laptop that checks many boxes for content creators and users alike. With its high-quality build featuring a metallic coating finish, the device exudes professionalism. A great display boasts crisp resolution and decent color accuracy, while the keyboard and trackpad offer a satisfying typing experience. However, the laptop's performance is average, with thermal throttling and battery life being areas of improvement.

HP 15

The HP 15 dy24nr is a laptop that falls short of expectations given its price point. With a lackluster unboxing experience, mediocre build quality, and notable omissions such as a backlight keyboard, it's clear that cost-cutting measures were taken to reach the desired price tag. Despite having an i5 1135G7 processor, eight gigabytes of RAM, and a Wi-Fi six card, the laptop's shortcomings in other areas make it hard to recommend for its supposed list price of around $650. This review will delve into the specifics of what makes this laptop less than ideal.
