Pros and Cons

Asus VivoBook 15

Strengths

P series I5 chip combined with 16 gigabytes of RAM makes this a good value
Day-to-day activities like web browsing or watching HD content work great
Intensive activities like coding or 3D modeling are totally doable thanks to that healthy 16 gigabytes of RAM
Gaming is also very much possible in a casual capacity, for example Fortnite can run at a healthy sustain 30 frames per second with that integrated Iris XD Graphics at lower medium settings
Thermals on this machine were also pleasantly surprising, under unrealistic Peak loads we only hit a maximum surface temperature of about 44 degrees Celsius
Battery life is right there in the middle, So based on our test depending on the kind of activities you're doing you can get up to eight hours on a single charge

Weaknesses

Port standards are pretty outdated
The keyboard and webcam quality is Highly Questionable
Speakers seem like an afterthought, with no base, very limited Clarity and a ton of distortion under higher volume levels
Display's color quality is approximately 45 ntsc or 56 srgb, which means it might not be suitable for color sensitive activities
Hinge quality is below average, there's a fair bit of wobble dated at single hinge mechanism
Subpar 720p webcam, I am 99 sure this is the camera they use to capture those Shady UFO sightings which look pixelated as heck

Asus Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip

Strengths

A great screen with vibrant colors, providing an immersive experience
The keyboard is RGB-backlit and feels very comfortable to type on
The 144hz refresh rate makes it suitable for gaming and smooth visuals
Performance is expected to be excellent with a Core i5 processor and 16 gigs of RAM
The inking experience is great, making it possible to use as an actual note-taking device
The stereo separation is nice and wide, providing immersive audio
The speakers sound very good, even without earbuds or headphones

Weaknesses

No mention of the price point, but implied to be around $800-$900
Battery life not mentioned, which could be a concern for some users
Pen latency is still an issue with some Chromebooks, although this one seems to have improved
The camera and microphone quality are not discussed in the text
No mention of any specific gaming features or exclusive content
Some may find the design or build quality to be unimpressive compared to other devices
Not much information is provided about the storage capacity or options
