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

I have a workstation where I run real applications, so I was very interested in using crositini/linux and ssh -X with a chromebook to have a cheap mobile laptop. The touchscreen and tablet form factor seemed worth trying out as well. Im completely satisfied on both fronts. 80+% of what I do I can do natively on the Chromebook (email, office apps, etc), and indeed the linux VM does everything I hoped it would. I really like having a touch-screen and stylus for taking notes on. The battery life is excellent but its only a month old. Even if I forget to plug it in overnight, I can usually go the second day just fine if Im careful with it. But I easily get a full days work out of it on a full charge even heavy use with the screen full-bright.

I got a refurb of this product, and there is absolutely not anything that indicates this.

Super legit. No regrets other than I wish the tablet detached.

The good:

Complete garbage. Does not work after a month of use. Makes you create new password then locks you out asking for your old password. Manufacture troubleshoot is just to reset. Then you are in the same problem of logging in.

Nice item but does not work with many printers.

I’ll be honest. I’m not really a tech person so I won’t be able to give a technical analysis of this computer. I ordered this computer for my son for college. Although this wasn’t necessarily what he wanted he was fine with using it until he was able to get what he wanted.

Good if you receive a good unit.

This is my daily driver, I use this CB(Chromebook) every day for 8-12 hours of work and even game on it. 8 GB ram is perfect for a CB. I have no slowdowns everything that I throw at it just works, need MS Office? You can use the Android or Web versions. I use Linux, so I have my office, cad, project planner all free 100% open source. I can access office docs exchange files back and forth with clients, coworkers this is not a problem. Im able to run some Windows programs using a beta emulator. Wow! Good things are coming to ChromeOS even MS is going to use the Chrome engine in the next version of their browser. To unlock the full power of this system please google how to install the Linux software store, then its just click and install.

Tested both the Asus spin and this machine. Both are premium builds but this seems more solid. Acer did not cut any corners. Wonderful and responsive screen. The major difference is widescreen vs 3:2 aspect ratio of the screen. More real estate on the screen when you use the tablet in portrait mode (as a tablet) to read articles or books.
