Acer Spin 714 Chromebook review

 

New Acer Spin has more flaws than its predecessor

Includes a stylus ; Solid construction ; 12th Gen Processor ; Thunderbolt 4 ports

No MicroSD slot ; Battery life hasn’t improved from 713 ; No SIM slot for LTE or 5G

An elegant and refined Chromebook design that’s built for business users in a post-Windows world. But can you really use leverage this level of power with ChromeOS, and why does it not have mobile comms?

Acer Chromebook Spin 511

  (Rating Hidden)

The Acer Chromebook Spin 511 is a dinky 11-inch Chromebook with a 360-degree hinge that means it can be spun around and used like a tablet. It's pretty cheap, too, so we've put it through our full lab test to see if it's a bargain or a false economy.

Acer Chromebook Spin 714 Review

 

Roomy 14-inch, 16:10 display ; Durable all-metal chassis ; 1080p webcam with physical cover ; Garaged pen included

Latest model drops the microSD card reader ; Still a bit heavy

With a new display and a garaged stylus, Acer's latest Chromebook Spin remains our absolute top Chromebook pick—despite losing the microSD slot and still being a little hefty.

Acer Chromebook Spin 714 review: A sub-$700 laptop with great battery life

 

Chromebooks aren't my steez, but I actually love this one

Almost 13 hours of battery life ; Stylish chassis ; Decent keyboard ; 1440p webcam

Quiet speaker

The Acer Chromebook Spin 714 has above-average battery life, a decent keyboard, a stylish chassis, a 1440p webcam — all for under $700. What’s not to love?

Acer Chromebook Spin 714 (2023) review: a perfect back-to-school laptop

 

High end feel in a mid-range price package, the new Acer Chromebook Spin 714 is an ideal college laptop.

Powerful build for a Chromebook ; Excellent Full HD display ; Well-designed 2-in-1 laptop

Intel Core i5 model is expensive

The Acer Chromebook Spin 714 offers premium features in a well-priced ChromeOS 2-in-1 laptop. The display is fantastic, making video calls and streaming a pleasure, while the build-quality ensures this laptop will last.

Acer Chromebook Spin 714 review

 

The Acer Chromebook Spin 714 is a Chrome-powered 2-in-1 that delivers solid performance and 10+ hours of tested battery life. The included stylus is great for doodling on the touchscreen, but there ar

But if you're already neck-deep in the Chrome ecosystem and your daily workflow doesn't need anything outside web browser tabs and mobile apps, you'd be hard-pressed to find a Chromebook with better performance for the price than the Spin 714.

Acer Chromebook Spin 714 review: A few quirks, but arguably the best for everyone

 

From all-day battery life, to a garaged USI stylus pen, the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 doesn't disappoint. It's the great all-rounder Chromebook that we've been waiting for. This might just be the best overall Chromebook of 2022.

Garaged USI stylus is the way to go ; Upward-firing speakers are a nice change from the norm ; 16:10 aspect ratio is great for getting work done ; Has already been found on sale ; Another great option if you want Intel Iris Xe graphics

No fingerprint scanner ; Higher-spec’ed options aren’t currently available

If you're looking for a Chromebook that doesn't try to do anything too fancy, while still being plenty powerful, the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 might just fit the bill. Between the 16:10 display and garaged USI pen, this is the perfect Chromebook for...
