Pros and Cons

HP Pavilion x360 11

Strengths

The laptop features a stunning design in smoked silver with an aluminum brush-like finish.
HP did an excellent job in terms of design and build quality, especially at this price point.
The touchscreen performance on this panel has been very good considering its price point.
The display offers decent brightness levels for the most part, although some images look washed out compared to other panels I've tested.
Typing on this keyboard has been pretty good considering its small footprint and size is it a very good keyboard know but who would expect that an 11-in laptop
The trackpad on this laptop has been phenomenal whether browsing the web or navigating the Windows 8 menu.
Battery life has been good, with around 3-4 hours of usage on a single charge.
The Beats Audio speakers sound pretty impressive for their size and once you get The Equalizer adjusted you'll enjoy enjoy the sound quality from these speakers

Weaknesses

Some images look washed out compared to other panels I've tested.
The brightness levels on this LED backlit display were not as good as expected.
The ergonomics in tablet mode were not as comfortable compared to the Lenovo Yoga series.
I wish HP made the bezels on the top and bottom line up together that would have made it more comfortable than using tablet mode
For light duty games, you can expect to play titles like Counterstrike World of Warcraft and Minecraft on low settings, but not many high-end games like Call of Duty and Battlefield 4.
The key travel is decent, but not impressive for an Island-style keyboard.
Fan noise was only noticeable during heavy usage.
The Intel penum n3520 processor may not be suitable for more demanding tasks or games.

Acer Chromebook Spin 314

Strengths

The display is a strong point for me, it's a full HD touchscreen stylus compatible
It gets nice and bright, I couldn't find an official number from Acer on it but I'd imagine they may claim it's somewhere up to 300 nits
The keyboard feels nice to type on with medium key travel, most models like mine won't be backlit but checking the US spec page it looks like there is a less common option for that
The trackpad is pretty standout, it's large and responds well, although I don't think it's glass, ASA brand it as ocean glass which seems to mean it's made from what Asus is 100% ocean bound plastic
The Chromebook has been decent in performance, you can see games like Fortnite running just fine with the Pentium silver n6000 and General performance has been really good as well
It has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 certified Port wise connectivity is decent
You'll get updates to Chrome OS all the way through to June 2031, thanks to the recently extended AE dates from Google

Weaknesses

The build quality is all plastic which may not be ideal for some users but it feels pretty solid in a positive way and weighs in at a fair 1.52 kg
There's no second USBC Port, but I guess they've given you that HDMI port in its place
Sadly the webcam doesn't have a privacy slider control and there's not much to shout about here
You may partly expect the Chromebook feeling a little hot sometimes through the bottom plastic due to the fan design and plastic build
Battery life has been good but you may need to charge it on the second day of light usage
The speakers are decent but it's not clear if the DTs branding has anything to do with that
There are model variations without the full HD screen, they'll just say HD ready and have a resolution of 1366 by 768 display out
