Pros and Cons

Asus Chromebook Flip C436

Strengths

Made from magnesium alloy for a lightweight but sturdy build
Nice full HD display with a big smooth touchpad and comfortable full-size chrome keyboard
Supports USI active pens, although one is not included
Has a fingerprint reader to unlock the Chromebook
Four speakers provide clear audio in any position
10th gen Intel Core i3 processor provides decent performance
8 gigs of memory and 128 gig SSD nvme SSD inside for smooth multitasking
Charges quickly, getting up to four hours on a 30-minute charge

Weaknesses

The magnesium alloy body is prone to reflections off the screen due to its glossy coating
Limited key travel while typing, but with a satisfying pop sound
Battery life is not ideal, lasting around 6 hours in general use
No option for LTE connectivity, which can be a problem in areas with poor Wi-Fi coverage
The price is premium, starting at $800 and going up to $1000 for more powerful specs
The fan can get loud while gaming or performing resource-intensive tasks
Webcam video quality is fine but not great, especially in low-light conditions
Battery life could be better, lasting around 10 hours and 43 minutes on streaming video tests

Acer Predator Helios 700

Strengths

Performance is definitely where it's at here...the Acer Predator Helios 700 comes with the 9th Gen Intel Core i9-9900HK chipset stuffed inside, backed by a maximum of 64 gigs of DDR4 RAM and either Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2070 or 2080. This is no choice for alternative options here.
The dual drive storage is super nippy...hit and read speeds of around 3500 megabytes per second and write speeds not far off are definitely one of the best results I've seen in some time
Customizable RGB keyboard with the option to assign a different color to each individual key, so you can turn this thing into a retina-searing light show or give it a moody glow that turns your slack-jawed expression a here's red color as you gunned down endless strangers online.
The sides of the laptop mean you get plenty of space for the keyboard including room for a number pad macro shortcuts and everything else you would need, making it comfortable enough to use for gaming and typing alike.
