I have both the Asus CX34 and the Acer 417. The 417 is a much better device. Almost every CX34 I bought has has some type of issue that I needed to send back for a warranty repair. I faired a little better with the ASUS CX5' (which are closer to the 714 than the CX34), but I still had a hire rate of warrant issues than I should have. I am not getting another ASUS again. -bj On Wed, Mar 20, 2024, 12:48 PM Caleb Clark <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Maybe an equivalent for the Acer Spin 714s, and less expensive new.
