It’s often harder to spot the differences between old and new Chromebooks, given their wild release schedule. From Acer’s side, the brand new Chromebook Spin 514 alongside the Spin 513 – the first venture with Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c silicone – will be on the market, but AMD’s 3rd generation Ryzen mobile processors.
Acer has not made clear how it will set up the processor and memory SKUs, but we do know that it will present the Spin 514 with the four-core Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 drives along with AMD Radeon Vega or RX Vega Mobile -graphics. However, we know it will cost $ 480 and up – a $ 80 premium on the Snapdragon-powered Spin 513.
The 360 ° rotating touch screen is pressed from 13.3 to 14 “, preceded by Gorilla Glass 3 and supported by an aluminum body with MIL-STD 810H durability. Although it’s nice to know that the test confirms has that the Spin 514 can withstand drops up to 1.2 meters and a weight of up to 60 kg, we do not recommend testing the limits freely.Sand and dust infiltration has been tested to the lower 810F standard.
There are also all the finishes of Chrome OS like fast boots and a battery that is good enough for a day of 10 hours. Fleet managers who want to implement this machine with their workers can do no contact – all staff have to do is connect their Enterprise Spin 514 to the internet, and they will be immediately registered at the administrative back.
As with the Spin 513, the 514 launches from next month to US customers and in March on the EMEA markets from € 529. The Enterprise Spin 514 will be available worldwide in March from $ 750 or € 799.
