Advantages

Disadvantages
IconSeats were hard
IconNo sockets and internet
IconNo staff
You can get from Spandau to Berlin quite easily by S-Bahn. It was not full and the noise level was unusually quiet. The seats were relatively hard and the train had no power sockets or internet. There was also no staff, only DB security. However, the train was clean and it went quite comfortably to the main station without changing trains and without delays. However, as it was a nice experience for a commuter train, I rate this journey as good.
Advantages
IconSuper fast train connection
IconVery favourable
IconNo traffic jam
Disadvantages
Icon-
The journey from Berlin-Spandau to Berlin Central Station is unbeatably fast by ICE. You reach your destination within 10 minutes and you don't have to stand in traffic jams looking for a parking space. I would always take the train, because buses and cars always cause traffic jams. You can't beat it in terms of price and time.
