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 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.

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 I mean, gray, fuzzy, and outdated.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!

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.

NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY. Bought this slightly less than a year ago. Brand new but appeared to have been dropped in transit or at the warehouse, straight out of the package as one hinge was off a bit, but seemed to work so I kept it instead of waiting to ship it back and wait for another. The battery only lasts about 2-2 1/2 hours w brightness down low. That is only online, not even gaming.

This works great for all my online classes. Very easy to use.

The good: This is my 2nd Chromebook and this one has a lot more features!. As long as you have a gmail account, setup takes just a couple minutes. This will automatically power on when opened, even when it is shut off from the last time. All programs are app based and so this requires WiFi. The screen can be flipped completely and used as a tablet. Hitting the keys, didnt seem to cause any issues in tablet mode. As a laptop, the touchscreen still functions. I hooked up an external mouse and it automatically recognized it, with no wait time! Google has tons of apps that can be added. Everything is stored via the cloud, which keeps this computer really fast as nothing needs to load. Google constantly is doing upgrades, so this will work at its total potential. The keyboard lights up and since there are no moving parts, battery life is quite good. This can be charged connecting to a USB C or via an outlet with the included cord.

Had to return it because using this just made me want to scream. S non user friendly and frustrating.

This laptop is perfect for the person that needs a lightweight, powerful system for their business and productivity needs. Exceptional battery life even when running multiple apps at once. Crystal clear screen also is great for watching movies. The monitor height/width ratio allows for a slightly higher view area, so there is less scrolling when reading documents, which is important for reading reports or working on spreadsheets. Both the keyboard and the touch screen are very responsive and allows you to work quickly. If you are unfamiliar with Chromebooks, keep in mind that any software that requires a Windows operating system wont work. You will also need to download pretty much any software or apps you need from the Google Play store.

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