Pros and Cons

MSI GV15 Thin

Strengths

The MSI GV15 Thin laptop has a nice little entry-level gaming system potential, making it suitable for casual gamers.
The upgrade to 32GB of DDR4 memory and an 11th gen Intel Core i5 processor results in a significant performance boost, ideal for multitasking and demanding tasks.
The laptop's compact design makes it perfect for those who need a portable and lightweight machine.
With the addition of a terabyte SSD, users can enjoy faster boot times, quicker loading of applications, and enhanced overall system responsiveness.

Weaknesses

The power switch is not intuitive, making it difficult to locate and use.
The laptop's design has some quirks, such as the bottom flexing when opened or closed without screws, which may take some getting used to.
Some users might find the lack of a number pad on the keyboard to be a drawback, especially for those who frequently work with numbers or data entry.
The warning message about low SSD space upon initial setup is a minor annoyance that can be quickly resolved, but still worth noting.

Acer Aspire 3 Spin 14

Strengths

The overall verdict from the review was that it's a well-rounded entry in the affordable convertible category. It does the job.
It has a surprisingly solid build, a really quite good touch screen for the money, and pretty respectable battery life for normal use.
The screen is genuinely good, and the battery life is decent for everyday stuff.
It ticks the boxes for under say 400 lb or the equivalent, but it's competent rather than amazing.
