Pros and Cons

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360

Strengths

It has a decent bit of life left with Chrome OS updates till June 2031.
The build feels very robust when closed and looks pretty smart to my eye.
The touchscreen display is really good, perhaps too nice considering the processor and RAM it's paired with.
It's fully convertible, offering a range of uses including tablet mode.
The screen has a 2560x1600 WQXGA resolution, above full HD but not at 4K.
The speakers get loud enough if used in a clamshell set up on a surface like a desk.
It's Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6 compatible.

Weaknesses

The Intel Celeron N4500 processor is from 2021, not exactly the latest.
Only 4GB of RAM which may cause performance issues with heavy use.
128GB of storage (although there are 64GB models available).
Typing experience on the keyboard isn't what I'd call enjoyable due to deep key travel and little feedback.
The touchpad is plastic, small, but feels well constructed.
Performance-wise for a single user, it's okay with light browsing, but may struggle with more demanding tasks.
It would be better if the Pentium Silver from this generation (n6000) was used instead of the Celeron.

Acer TravelMate Spin B1

Strengths

This laptop looks alright, the graphics are quite cool, I like it though.
The pen is good, feels nice like a good pen, not cheap at all.
The screen video quality is really crisp, clean and clear.
You can upgrade to an SSD which will make it faster than EMC
The laptop gets the job done what you need to do with Windows 10 OS
It's great for people who just want something easy like kids or a general user
The battery life is decent, it takes around about 30 seconds to get into the screen
