Pros and Cons

Razer Book 13

Strengths

The Razer Book delivers with the best on-the-go performance you can get in an ultrabook aside from going with one of the new M1 max
It has a beautiful 16 by 10 display which not only gives us more real estate but it also gets rid of that ugly chin and because of that we also have super slim bezels on the sides
Brightness went from an average 350 nits to a class leading 500 nits and with that reflectivity was also really cut down so this machine is perfect for use in bright rooms and outdoors
It has a new vapor chamber cooling runs cooler and quieter than the XPS as well because of that under 100 cpu load in Cinebench the Razer Book is able to run faster and score significantly higher than the XPS 13
The performance did not go down like most windows laptops it actually went up a little bit, and yes we did make sure all of the throttling options were turned off on that Dell

Weaknesses

It has poor speakers built into the laptop itself, which is disappointing considering the high-end specs
The display doesn't have DCI-P3 wide colors that Apple and Dell are offering so if you're a high-end photo or video editor wanting more than sRGB on the internal display keep that in mind
It's not as portable as some other ultrabooks due to its size and weight, making it less ideal for traveling
The battery life is not exceptional compared to some of its competitors, especially when using demanding applications
The high-end model has a relatively small 256GB SSD, which may not be enough storage space for heavy users

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus

Strengths

The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus has a amazing chassis that looks really amazing
It nails the necessities with its screen, keyboard, trackpad, and performance
It's been an absolute joy to use for me
The extra keys like dedicated accessibility and dictation buttons are pretty great
The quick insert key is also useful and easy to get used to
The device is very fast with Intel Core 3 100 U and 8 gigs of RAM
It has solid battery life, getting around 10 hours or so with moderate brightness

Weaknesses

The keyboard layout is a bit frustrating due to missing numeric keypad keys on the right
The downward-facing speakers are mediocre at best and too quiet
The 1080p webcam is functional but subpar compared to other webcams
Upgrading to a USB webcam may be necessary for better video quality
Audio output could be improved with more powerful speakers
Numeric keypads should have plus, minus, and Enter keys on the right side
Cut corners are visible in the mediocre audio and camera quality
