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

Great power and speed, no matter how many tabs you keep open.

So I like the design and form of this Chromebook. It has a nice keyboard, and excellent touchpad, and some decent guts that let you do everything from office productivity to some android gaming. The app store(s) have increased in size quite a bit since Chromebook was introduced to the world, and being able to run many Android apps gives you a lot of options, even offline.

Easy to set up and use. Its very fast but I ordered it with additional RAM. It is for personal use. Its very lightweight, has tough construction, and built like a tank. This was a gift for my hubby and his review.

This is an excellent Chromebook and I am quite happy with my purchase. The only disappointment is that it doesnt self-store the pen/stylus as I had concluded after investigation. Being the kind of person that loses unattached things, this is unfortunate.

If you are willing to give up an hour or two of battery life for 2 to 5 times the CPU power, then you are trying to decide between the Lenovo C630 or the Acer Spin 13 (both models run rings around a Pixelbook or Pixel Slate). Both models max out at an Intel I5-8250U CPU, with which comes the whirring of a cooling fan at times. Both have the same RAM, storage, and an IPS screen (Lenovo has a 15.6 screen, the Acer a 13.5 screen). The Lenovo price on Amazon is usually $619, the Acer $749. Why is a smaller panel priced higher than a larger panel for the same CPU, RAM, and storage, you wonder. The answer is ... the 2256 x 1504 screen on the Acer is much better than the Lenovo FHD screen. The difference is not only resolution, but color accuracy and saturation. The whites on the C630 are yellow-white... very noticeble. The whites on the Spin 13 are brilliant white. Ive had multiple Windows laptops from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc., Chromebooks from Asus, Acer, and Lenovo, and many tablets. My summary is: you live with the screen every second you attend to a computer, the keyboard less, and everything else far less (trackpad, CPU, etc.). For that reason, I cannot stand cheap Chromebooks... the screens are horrible. IMO, the Acer screen is more than halfway to a Samsung AMOLED, using the the Lenovo C630 screen as a base, and hits a sweet spot as priced on Amazon. A second factor is size&weight: portability. For me 15 is TOO big, and the 13.5 size of the Lenovo hits a sweet spot for portability. So, having been reluctant to click on $749, I kept using a Samsung Chromebook, even though I wanted a bigger display and MORE POWER. When the Spin 13 went on sale on Pi Day, clicking was immediate... patience rewarded. The Samsung has a new home, as do all the Chromebooks before it, and the occasional whirring of the Spin 13 goes unnoticed.

12/5/19 1st cut at review. Just opened my Acer Chromebook Spin 13 this morning. A very nice machine ! Fantastic screen & color. Stylus tucked into the frame very nicely.

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.

Excellant transaction. Highly recommend!

I have been looking for a good chromebook for a few months. This one has everything and more. The stylus is an awesome an addition. It loads super fast and the battery life is fantastic! Flips easily into a tablet. Syncs easily with my Samsung S10. Amazing.
