Damn. Really wish I could upgrade the RAM. The cpu is solid but the RAM keeps it from being viable for the long term

Can the laptop be charged using a USB C power input ? (Not asking if it can send a charge out, rather whether he laptop itself can be charged using USB C)
Is the display MAtte (non glossy) ?

How does this 3 options compare? which one is better? I am basiclly looking for a laptop (smaller than 14") just for word, excel, powerpoint work and some YouTube watching. If there is other cheaper options, that will be great too.

PS: very sad I didn't save the AMEX Dell offer for the $100 statement credit, when I saw it I just thought how would I spend $500 on dell.com. Lesson learnt anyway, save it regardless whether I am gonna use it or not.

Got this one with the "$100 refurbished coupon" a while ago. Yes, it does support USB-C charging , it has a second NVMe SSD slot (very handy), sadly, RAM is soldered.
Very snappy device

Acer all the way. I had a new Acer Aspire 5 and I sold it, I miss it so much! I had an HP and it was absolute garbage----do not buy the HP you listed. The Acer has a black keyboard and the Dell appears to have a silver keyboard---silver is almost impossible to see in some lighting. The Acer has an awesome processor that is quick and quiet. Plus it's the cheapest of the 3 you listed.
