(Updated May 21, 2023) This review is for the ACER Chromebook Spin 314 Convertible Laptop (Model: CP314-1H-P1Q5) featuring a 14 multi-touch display, Intel Pentium Silver N6000 processor, relatively generous 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of slower eMMC storage. This laptop was priced at ~$400 at the time of this review, and unfortunately, despite being new to the market and including Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, the price is not justified. To be honest, it feels like a $300 machine. Its got a terrible, low-resolution screen, and while ACER hasnt specified the panel type, its likely TN since it suffers from limited view angles and poor contrast. While this configuration of the ACER Chromebook Spin 314 is adequate for most productivity and education workloads, I cant recommend it since there are several convertible Chromebooks with 8GB RAM/128GB eMMC in the ~$400 price range with vastly superior Full HD (1920x1080) IPS touchscreens and laptop-class processors, such as the

The device was everything it said it would be. A few weeks in, it works well for its low cost price.

I like that fact that it is light and that it’s easy to use.

I got this to use around the house and I just love it. Fast and clear, the touchscreen works very well and the battery life is better than expected. I was also surprised by the sound quality. Good machine!

It died after a few weekd

It’s great no problems

I purchased my last Chromebook back in 2014 and had still been using it to now. It was a Samsung Chromebook II and it had 4gb ram and 16gb hard drive. It served me well, it let me watch youtube and do web searches etc...but honestly, even being just used as a device to browse the web, the tiny hard drive held me back. The 4gb ram i felt was not accurate. and the lack of a touch screen left app downloads lacking.

The hardware form factor for this convertible is excellent. Unfortunately, if you are familiar with the Windows OS, youre going to HATE the Chrome operating system and quickly run into its application limitations. This could be a good choice for students whose school has standardized Chromebooks or someone on a budget that doesnt allow for a Windows convertible like the amazing Lenovo Yoga. This gift was sold As New shortly after purchase.

A good small tablet for everyday use.

Worked well until it died suddenly. I used it for basic things like web browsing and watching videos on youtube. Only ever downloaded a couple pdfs. Honestly I’m still in shock since my previous chromebook from another maker lasted me over 4 years.
