Pros and Cons

Acer Spin 7

Strengths

The keyboard has a very good click point and the keys seem to be quite fast. It's a really good thing that it's completely silent, being fanless.
It has easy access to the battery, SSD, and Wi-Fi module, making upgrades and replacements possible.
The device has a nice format and the SSD is quite fast, making it suitable for office work, student tasks, and basic photo editing.
Despite some minor issues with keyboard depth and backlighting, overall the Spin 7 offers good productivity performance.

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

Asus VivoBook 15

Strengths

P series I5 chip combined with 16 gigabytes of RAM makes this a good value
Day-to-day activities like web browsing or watching HD content work great
Intensive activities like coding or 3D modeling are totally doable thanks to that healthy 16 gigabytes of RAM
Gaming is also very much possible in a casual capacity, for example Fortnite can run at a healthy sustain 30 frames per second with that integrated Iris XD Graphics at lower medium settings
Thermals on this machine were also pleasantly surprising, under unrealistic Peak loads we only hit a maximum surface temperature of about 44 degrees Celsius
Battery life is right there in the middle, So based on our test depending on the kind of activities you're doing you can get up to eight hours on a single charge

Weaknesses

Port standards are pretty outdated
The keyboard and webcam quality is Highly Questionable
Speakers seem like an afterthought, with no base, very limited Clarity and a ton of distortion under higher volume levels
Display's color quality is approximately 45 ntsc or 56 srgb, which means it might not be suitable for color sensitive activities
Hinge quality is below average, there's a fair bit of wobble dated at single hinge mechanism
Subpar 720p webcam, I am 99 sure this is the camera they use to capture those Shady UFO sightings which look pixelated as heck

Acer Spin 7

The Acer Spin 7 is a 14-inch Core i5-based 2-in-1 device that boasts a fairly thin and light design. Scoring 82% in our full review, it has its strengths and weaknesses. The display is calibrated to perfection once tweaked, but initially struggles with color accuracy. The keyboard offers decent feedback, albeit with shallow travel. Battery life is reasonable at around 6 hours of Wi-Fi browsing time, although gaming and video rendering may see a drastic drop-off.

Asus VivoBook 15

The ASUS VivoBook 15 is an intriguing device that boasts a P-series Intel Core i5 chip and 16GB of RAM, making it a powerhouse for general productivity tasks. However, upon closer inspection, the laptop reveals some less-than-desirable traits, such as outdated port standards, subpar keyboard quality, and a lackluster webcam. Despite its impressive performance capabilities, the VivoBook's engineering shortcomings may leave users underwhelmed. Is this a laptop that checks all the right boxes or one that falls short in key areas?
