Acer Chromebook Spin 314 Convertible Laptop | Intel Pentium Silver N6000 | 14 HD Corning Gorilla Glass Touch Display | 4GB LPDDR4X | 128GB eMMC | Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 | Chrome OS | CP314-1H-P9G7

Is it a PC? No, obviously not, but I have an overpowered midtower on a desk for things that need power and an exe file to work. However the this Chromebook fits a need for portability and at a lower cost than a decent laptop. Ive used cheap Chromebooks before and wasnt thrilled, but this Chromebook brings a lot to the table. You just have to decide what your needs are.

This is my second Chromebook and, coincidentally, my second Acer. I purchased my first Acer Chromebook (Acer C910-54M1 15.6-Inch LED 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) Chromebook - Intel Core i5 i5-5200U 2.20 GHz - Black) back in June of 2015 as a way to move away from my 13 MacBook Pro. Excellent experience with that particular Acer Chromebook and felt I was ready to step up to something else. So glad I picked this new Acer Spin 13 instead of the Google Pixelbook 2 I originally had my eyes on. Would have made a nice pairing with my Google Pixel 2 XL phone, but the Acer Spin 13 fits the bill nicely. Great screen, excellent backlit keyboard, vibrant colors, serious horsepower, and the battery lasts quite a long time.

So far I like this. I just set it up yesterday. I should have realized that Gorilla glass would mean the screen is just like my phone - there is a lot of glare. My old Chromebook had an anti-glare screen, which I much prefer. Oh well - thats my bad.

This is a premium laptop. The hardware is equal to any similar PC or Mac laptop. Build quality is superb. The IPS screen is the best in any laptop at any price.

My new daily driver, linux support gives me all the power I need when I need it and ChromeOs is fine for day to day.

This thing is built cheap and irritating, especially for what you pay. Ive had 3 other (cheaper) Chromebooks and this thing sucks comparatively. In tablet mode the bezel bends where you hold it. If you have the backlit keyboard on, it doesnt turn off in tent mode. It doesnt save window sizes. This means going back and forth from tablet mode and laptop mode youll have to resize all your windows. Battery life sucks if youre doing just minimum. The Wacom pen is cheap crap and the nub gets stuck. I will never but another Acer, this thing is trash! Also the plastic hinges that are painted to look chrome are easily chipped. The sound this thing has is embarrassing. Sounds like crap. My phone literally sounds 100% better. Try hp guys. Thats where Im going back to!

Having used many different Chromebooks, this one has a lot of ports, which is great to have. But the screen quality is so-so and the trackpad is nice.

I have the first Google Pixelbook and this one is just as fast sturdier build and just as fast plays 8k video no problem bright screen good sound

This is our first tablet/laptop. Got this so my wife could start doing sketches and digital coloring as well as just being able to use it for web browsing. The set up was super easy and fast. We were able to sign into our wireless network and away we went. The touch screen is really responsive and the stylus isnt uncomfortable and feels nice in the hand. My kids love it for school work as well as just digital coloring. Its a good entry level tablet/laptop for sketching. I am not super techy so I cant speak to the hardware side of it, I just know its fast and we havent had any issues with space or speed. I will update if issues arise.

The standout feature of the Acer Chromebook Spin 13 is its display. The combination of the screen size with the unique resolution and aspect ratio hits a sweet spot. Its speed is actually much faster than necessary for typical Chromebook browser and app use, but will be great for users who plan to run Crostini Linux applications or dual-booted Windows. The feel of the gorilla glass touchpad makes it a joy to use. The EMR stylus works beautifully, though it can get somewhat stuck in its holster if reinserted with excessive force. At 3.5 pounds, this device doesnt target users that require high mobility or frequent use in its tablet mode. The aluminum case is metal gray in color, so it just looks like any thin corporate desktop when the lid is down. But, when using Chrome OS, it breezes effortlessly through all of animations for touchpad and touchscreen gestures. Browser extensions, Web apps, PWAs, Android apps, and screen casting are all highly responsive. Video streaming and playback is excellent, and sound is very good for a laptop. I/O ports are ample and located optimally. I purchased mine for $699.99 on Cyber Monday.
