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 Netflix device. Do note that it has a 3:2 aspect ratio.

I got this to use in bed for my home business. Its very portable and easy to use, I like that I can flip the screen over to turn it into a writing tablet to take notes. Its a little heavier than my last Chromebook so I installed a laptop swivel arm behind my bedpost so I can lay down and still type on a stable surface and keep the vent fans off the fabric of my comforter and bedsheets.

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.

This machine is snappy. The display is great. I purchased it because of Crostini which works as it should at this early stage of development. It is way ahead of the Chromebooks I recommend for my school district. The only problem I have is that the display crashes. Large gray vertical stripes appear on the screen, then it turns black. The only way to recover from this is to fold the laptop and reopen it immediately. This happened a lot while using Crostini, so I first blamed this on the fact that the project was in Beta. But now, it also happens while running Chrome or android apps. I am now starting to wonder if this is not a hardware or implementation issue. I have had to return Acer laptops in the past. Is it a one-off issue? Should I exchange the machine? Acer, please help...

The keyboard backlight is such a waste of time. They should do it nice or not at all. Really the backlifgt is so bad it makes the whole laptop feel cheap

After six long years, my 16-year-old daughter totally wore out her first Chromebook. I did A LOT of research to make sure I bought her the Chromebook that would best meet her needs. Shes loving her new Acer! It has a great touch screen and she loves the way she can fold it back. Very nice. Shes happy...so, her dad is a very happy customer!

I purchased in Oct 2022. After using the unit for a few weeks, I have concerns about the battery. It gets very hot. The bottom of the unit gets hot enough to be uncomfortable when I have it resting on my chest while surfing (in my recliner). I have a shirt on yet the heat from the bottom is enough to have me looking for a towel to use as a pad. Also, this unit replaced an ASUS chromebook that is years older yet the ASUS seems to load websites faster. Finally, the touchpad is not nearly as sensitive as the ASUS. I often have to tap twice to get a reaction. There also seems to be an occasional issue with loading facebooks short videos. After they load, you cant close the window by clicking x in the upper corner. You have to scroll back using the back arrow on the browser bar. Annoying.

Standard issue for all of my developers

I was looking for the cheapest chromebook that I could run modded minecraft on and it works great, plus it has more features that I wasnt even looking for.

The resolution on this Chromebook is horrible. I mean, gray, fuzzy, and outdated. I was flabbergasted. Had to return and spend a little bit more for the Samsung Chromebook 2. Now that’s a nice device!
