Pros and Cons

Asus ZenBook Flip 14 UM462

Strengths

The Asus Zenbook flip 14 is a fine machine for everyday computing tasks, handling multitasking without any signs of lag or stuttering.
It has an acceptable score of three hours and 54 minutes on our standard battery benchmark test
The touchscreen display is bright and colorful with natural colors and sufficient brightness for daylight use
The keyboard is amongst the most comfortable I've seen on a convertible laptop, with large three-stage backlit keys
The touchpad is modern and precise, supporting multi-finger taps and swipes natively on Windows 10
It's built very well, with a firm smooth laptop body made of aluminum and magnesium alloy

Weaknesses

Battery life could have been a lot longer, lasting only about three hours and 54 minutes on our standard battery benchmark test
The battery drains sharply when enabled keyboard backlighting
The stylus isn't suitable for drawing, with poor touch accuracy and low pressure sensitivity
The speakers are hollow, lacking clear lows and making it unsuitable for full-blown entertainment
The laptop is on the heavier side at 1.66 kg, making it difficult to use as a tablet
The battery drains faster than expected, lasting only about three hours and 13 minutes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on

HP Chromebook x360 13

Strengths

The new mediatek processors are excellent and a very nice match for the Chrome operating system.
It does have a pretty decent GPU on board so I think even on the lower end model you should see some good performance out of this.
The battery life is pretty good on this too if you're sticking to the browser and keeping the display brightness down you're going to get about 10 to 11 hours out of this.
It's a really nice Chromebook for people looking for something that's a little more powerful than the typical Intel Chromebook you might see at around this price point.
The build quality on this was a little better would have been good but beyond that I think it's a really nice Chromebook
Overall, I am very impressed with its performance and its battery life.
It does have a lot of potential especially if you are into game emulation or just Android gaming in general.
Its game emulation performance is excellent, I was really impressed with its game emulation performance we've got the Android version of the Dolphin Emulator running here
The speakers on this one are downward firing and it'll sound different depending on what it's resting on and in what orientation the laptop is in but it doesn't sound bad though it's got a good range of sound
