Pros and Cons

Acer Swift 3

Strengths

The Swift 3 has a great screen, which actually makes quite a big difference I found.
The three by two aspect ratio is preferred over the standard aspect ratio of other laptops.
Light gaming is still possible on the regular Iris Xc graphics.
The materials and design of the Swift 3 are suitable for laptops in the £700-£800 range.
The battery life of both the Swift 3 and Swift 3X lasted the exact same time around 7 and a half hours, which is pretty average.

Weaknesses

Considering how much they cost, the materials and design start to feel a little bit cheap.
The top-end 3x has the same average 1080p screen as the base Swift 3, which costs about half the price from this £1100 asking price.
The webcam quality is not fantastic, it's quite noisy and the colors are a bit too saturated.
Sound quality was pretty weak on both machines, with tinny vocals and music and almost non-existent bass.
When you consider the top-end 3x has the same screen as the base Swift 3, which costs about half the price, it's hard to swallow the £1100 asking price.

Asus Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip

Strengths

The keyboard is RGB-backlit and feels very comfortable to type on

The stereo separation is nice and wide, providing immersive audio
The speakers sound very good, even without earbuds or headphones

Weaknesses

No mention of the price point, but implied to be around $800-$900

Pen latency is still an issue with some Chromebooks, although this one seems to have improved
The camera and microphone quality are not discussed in the text
No mention of any specific gaming features or exclusive content
