Our Verdict
Acer Chromebook Spin 311 (2021)
HP Pavilion x360 11 (2021)
The HP Pavilion x360 11 (2021) and the Acer Chromebook Spin 311 (2021) are both 11.6-inch convertible laptops; however, the HP runs Windows, while the Acer runs Chrome OS. The HP has a faster processor that can handle heavier workloads, and it supports x86 applications, whereas the Acer is limited to web-based, Android, and Linux apps. The HP has a more responsive touchpad, a webcam with better video quality, and a larger port selection. The Acer's keyboard feels better to type on for extended periods.
