Pros and Cons

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

Asus ZenBook 13 OLED UM325

Strengths

The laptop feels premium and justifies its price tag.
The overall package is still quite premium and lives up to the price tag.
The battery life is good, averaging around 8 hours in average use case.
Battery life can go up to 10-11 hours if used in dark mode.
The laptop comes with a 67 wattage battery and an OLED panel.
The temperatures never crossed the 88 degree Celsius mark.
USB PD and a 65W USB-C charger are included, allowing for easy charging of other devices.

Weaknesses

The laptop cuts corners here and there to keep costs down.
You might not get the best use case out of the OLED panel unless you're a content creator who lives primarily into the photography world.
The Intel variant with an IPS LCD panel is also available, which might be enough for some users.
The price difference between the OLED and IPS panels is minimal (less than 5k).
Some users might find the battery life to be slightly better on the Intel variant.
The laptop's cooling mechanism is basic, with just a single heat sink and fan.
The internal storage might not need to be swapped out often, making it harder for some users to justify the cost.
