Pros and Cons

Asus Chromebook CX15

Strengths

The Asus Chromebook CX-15 features a 15.6 in full HD anti-glare display, giving you a bright, crisp view.
The snappy operating experience is noticeable from the start.
With 8 GB of fast memory, this Chromebook can handle everyday tasks like web browsing, document editing, and streaming without breaking a sweat.
The long battery life lasts all day on a single charge, making it perfect for working on the go.
The full-sized ergonomic keyboard, complete with a numeric keypad, is ideal for those who need to input numbers frequently.
It's built to meet military grade standards, making it durable and resistant to everyday wear and tear.
For its price, the Asus Chromebook CX-15 provides solid performance, especially if you're looking for a straightforward laptop for productivity, entertainment, and light multitasking.

Weaknesses

While the Intel Celeron processor offers decent performance for basic tasks, it starts to show limitations when pushed with more demanding applications.
The absence of an SD card slot means you might have to rely more on cloud storage.
The plastic build feels a bit cheap compared to premium models.
It might feel restrictive if you tend to store large files locally due to the 128 GB of storage.
For tasks like gaming or heavy video editing, you might want to look elsewhere as it starts to show limitations.
Those looking for higher-end performance for gaming, content creation, or heavy multitasking may find better options at a slightly higher price point.
The build quality is not perfect, and long-term durability is difficult to judge right now.

Acer Chromebook Spin 312

Strengths

A solid performer
The small size (12.2 in) is a plus
Feels fairly solid in the hand with a weight of about 1.31 kg
Decent selection of ports and connectivity, including HDMI port
Keyboard deck is familiar and has more medium to deeper travel for comfortable typing
Ocean glass branded touchpad feels extremely smooth and responds well to taps and clicks
Estimated battery life of around 13h hour with light use

Weaknesses

The build quality could be improved (too plastic-y)
Sound quality is still pretty average
IPS touch display might not live up to ACA's claim of 300 nits brightness
No pen support on this model, only USI pen supported on higher spec version
Entry-level HD webcam, which can't compete with full HD webcams from other Chromebooks
Bezels aren't exactly small, might be handy for holding the screen in tablet mode though
Only available with Intel M100 processor in the UK, not the more powerful Core i3n 305

Acer Chromebook Spin 312

The Acer Chromebook Spin 312 is a small, 12.2-inch convertible touchscreen Chromebook that packs a punch despite its compact size. With a lightweight design and Intel M100 processor, it's suitable for casual use and light Android gaming. However, the availability of a higher-spec version with an Intel Core i3n 305 processor in the US raises questions about why this upgraded model isn't available in other regions. Can this Chromebook deliver on its promise?
