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 love this Acer Chromebook. Its the best machine short of a Pixelbook. The on-board stylus is a nice touch.

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

I like the fact that it is easy to carry it around

Works very well it’s touch and can turn into a tablet

This Chromebook is loaded with good stuff, and beats the Google GO hands down. The I-5 processor and 8GB of memory and 128 GB of SSD put it up with the best Windows laptops. It has the lighted and very comfortable keyboard, touchscreen with stylus (built in), and great battery life. The added feature is the screen - it is an inch taller than the normal 13.5 screen which lets you get a more of what you are working on or watching up in view. And the screen resolution is beyond Full HD.

Great resolution and very fast. Bought it used from Amazon and its a very good value for me.

Buy this chromebook if you like working in the cloud and your focus is productivity.

This review is for Acer Chromebook Spin 314 Convertible Laptop CP314-1H-P9G7. I’m going to divide this review up into sections: Pros, Cons, Final Thoughts.

First off, I have the utmost respect for ACER laptops due to fact that Ive had 2 Acer laptops and they were still running well at the time I gave them away to family/freiends. This Acer is the best one Ive ever seen, its aluminum chasis makes it look sleek and a marvel to look at and hold and use. Its just as nice-looking as any apple product and even has a back-lit keyboard so that I can use in dim lighting.

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.
