Entry-level HD webcam, which can't compete with full HD webcams from other Chromebooks
Bezels aren't exactly small, might be handy for holding the screen in tablet mode though

Lenovo IdeaPad D330

The Lenovo IdeaPad D330 is a budget-friendly 10.1-inch Windows tablet that competes directly with the Microsoft Surface Go. Starting at around $300, it's significantly cheaper than its competitors. With an Intel Core i3 processor, up to 128GB of storage, and optional LTE, this tablet offers impressive specs for its price. But how does it perform in real-world usage? Can it deliver a seamless experience for office work and light use?

Acer Chromebook Spin 312

The Acer Chromebook Spin 312 is a small, 12.2-inch convertible touchscreen Chromebook that packs a punch despite its compact size. With a lightweight design and Intel M100 processor, it's suitable for casual use and light Android gaming. However, the availability of a higher-spec version with an Intel Core i3n 305 processor in the US raises questions about why this upgraded model isn't available in other regions. Can this Chromebook deliver on its promise?
