Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE

Strengths

The laptop has a 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD, making it a weirdly powerful machine.
It comes with one of the most powerful CPUs on the market (Ryzen 9 5900HX) for producing high speeds necessary for AAA games and creative software.
The NVIDIA RTX 3080 graphics card makes this laptop an unstoppable force that opens up so many possibilities.
The Screen Pad Plus is a completely touch-sensitive tilted matte screen that rises up to your field of view, allowing you to multitask with ease.
Despite its powerful specs, the laptop is surprisingly light and small, making it easy to take on-the-go.

Weaknesses

As expected from a gaming laptop, there's some heat and long-running fans when gaming, but this doesn't affect performance.
The battery life may vary depending on usage, and while it's manageable, it might not last as long as you'd like with heavy use.
Some lower-fps games (online base games) perform well, but may not take full advantage of the laptop's capabilities.
Game optimization and system requirements can affect performance in certain titles.
The power pack is slightly larger than a hand, which might be inconvenient for some users.

Acer Chromebook Vero 514

Strengths

The textured all-plastic build feels different and unique, with a reassuring firmness to it.
The laptop's weight is about as expected at just under 1.49 kg (3.28 lb), making it very slightly heavier than recent 14-inch Chromebooks.
The Chromebook Plus update means you get a full HD camera, extra lighting, and background blur controls.
Performance is rapid with the 12th gen Core i7 processor, and everyday browsing, Android apps, and Linux programs ran great.
Battery life seems good, with up to 8 hours of mixed use before needing a charge, and fast charging capabilities.
The laptop can run extended displays on multiple monitors and use its own screen as a third display if needed.
The speakers get fairly loud when on a flat surface like a desk, even if they lack richness in the sound.
The laptop's design is unique and visually appealing, making it stand out from other Chromebooks.

Weaknesses

The brightness of the screen may be lower than claimed at up to 300 nits, although it's still fine for indoor use.
The webcam has a manual privacy slider due to meeting the Chromebook Plus spec, but this can be seen as a slight drawback.
Some models may have an optional fingerprint reader on the keyboard deck, which could be inconvenient if not included.
The plastic touchpad is made from Ocean-bound plastic and feels smooth, but some users may find it lacking in tactile feedback.
The laptop's clamshell design means it can't lie flat like convertible Chromebooks, which might be a drawback for some users.
Fan noise and heat were not significant issues during use with the Intel Core i7 processor.
Real Racing 3 did not display correctly on this Chromebook, although other apps ran smoothly.
The speakers' sound quality could benefit from more richness and bass, but they are still fairly loud.
