Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Strix G15

Strengths

The machine has a respectable build quality it's designed to last
It doesn't feel cheap or finicky like the Asus Nitro does for example
I really appreciate the fact that Asus includes a high-quality trackpad and keyboard which also makes this versatile for doing non-gaming activities
The Ryzen 9 chip definitely blew me away, the performance is fantastic it can breeze through both gaming and non-gaming intensive tasks
It's relatively quiet with fan noise staying around 21 decibels under idle loads

Weaknesses

Unfortunately the display on this base configuration does leave a lot to be desired particularly in the brightness department
The four gigabytes of vram with the rtx 3050 card here can be a little underwhelming for some games and may restrict you from hitting that 144 hertz
Battery life is poor, dropping to around 1.5 hours on average when gaming
Stereo speaker setup is underwhelming in terms of volume levels and clarity
Display brightness could be better

Acer Chromebook Spin 513

Strengths

Acer Chromebook Spin series always comes to mind, specifically the 13-inch models have been exceptional
The device keeps nearly everything great about the previous 13-inch spin models like the spin 713
It has a few tricks of its own to add to the mix making it easily one of the most compelling chromebooks on the market right now
The screen is the same brilliant class of display that we've seen on other spin 713 models in the past, with a resolution of 2256 by 1504 and plenty bright at 360 nits
USI pen support is well done and it's really well suited for taking notes with cursive
With the Mediatek companio 1380 under the hood, this is the first of its kind and by far the most powerful arm processor to ever be put into a chromebook
