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

Excellent hardware specifications for the current $599 price. I wanted better performance than the usual budget Chromebook, but I didn’t want to pay a premium. Google had their refurbished Pixelbook with the i5 for $699. It does not come with a stylus and there is not a place to garage it on the Pixelbook. I like that Acer used Wacom EMR for stylus support and the passive stylus garages in the bottom of the Spin 13.

Perfect for my school needs.

This laptop is great for the price. I do wish the screen was more clear.

I love this machine! Fastest chromebook Ive ever used. At 699, although expensive, its a major go. I got on cyber Monday. At 800+, no way. Update as of 2/12/19...i think im going to sell it. i also bought a lenovo yoga C630 and i prefer it for some reason. its more stable, much quieter, and i just prefer it. Its for sale.

I got this laptop during the Cyber Monday sale as my first ever computer that doesnt have Windows on it. My desktop at home has Windows 10 on it but I havent turned it on yet since this Chromebook arrived last week since I wanted to give the Acer a fair chance and see how much I really miss Windows 10. So far, there hasnt been anything that has made me wish I was using Windows 10! The only times where I have felt a little bit inconvenienced is when I need to use Microsoft Office products. I say that I was only slightly inconvenienced because I am still able to use all of the Office programs (in multiple ways actually, now that there is Google Play Store support), they are just a different layout than I am used to and may not have some of the more extensive features that the Windows version has. For the vast majority of users, however, there will be a small adjustment period and then itll be fine after that.

Unless you are a computer genius save your money. You cant use word, its hard as f$@% to save files, editing pictures is almost impossible unless you buy new software, of course it has to be theirs. Google has spent a lifetime trying to corner the market on computers and now they have figured it out. Oh, and of course there is no manuel so you can ask for help but good luck figuring out what its telling you. I would save your money because now I am going to have to buy another laptop that is compatible with word

Bought for my daughter to use in college . She loves it.

I would recommend this more for a student, not much of a work station, or a notebook, more like a college campus tool. At first I was impressed, I thought I could have used this to continue to learn coding Python, Java, C, etc... But after a while the limitations became very apparent, yes Linux is available, but limited, most of the things you can download are some what functional, but its definitely not a notebook compression. Before any one shuts this review for the fact that the purpose of this was for internet browsing capabilities, just keep this in mind, remember tablets, yeah, also why would Acer out in hardware comparable to their windows version of the spin 13 in the spin 15 charging a hundred dollar more, wtf? As I can see, Chromebooks are just another tablet in a market saturated with gadgets we dont even need when the phone market has eliminated the need for a internet only tablet aka Chromebooks. Get a real notebook dont make the mistake I did, I am now trying to save up for a real notebook. Google stop making more useless gadgets, all we ask is for a simple laptop that can be used for learning, working, coding at a reasonable price, mind you there are Linux laptops with the same hardware as this spin 13 yet they charge a thousand, why? Google has proven that the prices some of these notebook charge today may not be solely on the hardware but based on licensing, heck theres even a MacBook with the same specs as the spin 13 for thousands. Wished there was a reasonable laptop for people who dont wish to break the bank, and wish to use em for work purposes, if it could be a Linux too, that would be a plus, nothing against windows but window is far too restrictive on letting you mess with it, Chromebook is even worse then Windows not allowing you to do much unless approved by the higher up. FYI dont buy the Acer Spin 13, get the windows version instead, for a hundred dollar more, you can actually use it as a laptop, and with the same hardware too which shows you what a scan Chromebook and windows really are.

The hinge broke after one week. And the worse was the Chrome OS couldnt be updated successfully. I need to rest the machine to the same old OS Everytime when it try to reboot for update.

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
