Pros and Cons

Asus TUF Dash F15

Strengths

The laptop has a 4-core processor which provides excellent performance in games that are optimized for more cores, giving up to 20-25% better performance.
It's an ultra-portable gaming laptop, ideal for those who want a sleek and small device.
The Intel processor wins in single core benchmarks against Ryzen competition
Has a decent battery life considering its compact size
Packs a lot of features into a small package

Weaknesses

May be overshadowed by the upcoming H45 series from Intel, which could render it obsolete soon.
The price tag is around $1k-$1500, which may be too steep for some users
The processor may not be as powerful as others in its class, especially when compared to Ryzen 5000 series
Not ideal for those who want the best possible performance and are willing to pay a premium for it
A four-core processor is not enough for some users' needs

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook

Strengths

The keyboard is a strong point of this Chromebook, with Lenova really nailing a reassuring typing experience.
Battery life is certainly one of the strongest points of this Slim 3 Chromebook, with Google's power load test rating it at up to 13 hours and 12 minutes.
The build quality is good and feels solid for an entry-level Chromebook, especially considering its relatively light weight of around 1.3 kg.
Performance for some light Android gaming like Real Racing 3 was fine, and for General browsing and the odd Android app I didn't find any problems for casual users.
The speakers are positioned well on the keyboard deck, giving them the best position to fire sound up at you, which is certainly a plus on an entry-level Chromebook.

Weaknesses

The screen options can be confusing and may vary depending on your region, with up to three options available for the 14-inch display.
The TN HD 1366 x 768 display is not recommended as it's not great for media consumption due to its lower color accuracy and viewing angles compared to IPS screens.
There are some variations in spec that you need to watch out for, such as differences in RAM (4GB or 8GB) and storage (64GB or 128GB).
The keyboard has a shallow travel which might take some getting used to, although it still provides nice feedback.
For media consumption, the TN screen may not be ideal, with less vivid colors and poorer viewing angles compared to IPS screens.
