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 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
