CES is only a few days away, but many laptops are launching their 2021 series. One of Acer’s first new versions is the Chromebook Spin 514, powered by AMD’s Ryzen 3000 mobile processors.
You can specify the Spin 514 to 16 GB DDR4 DRAM and 256 GB storage. Acer claims that you will get up to 10 hours of battery life. The 14-inch FHD touchscreen has a 78 percent screen-to-body ratio, and all models have two USB-C ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and a microSD card reader. Some configurations also include an HDMI port.
It is not the lightest Chromebook, with 1.55 kg and 17.35 mm thick. But Acer says it delivers ‘military durability’ and can withstand up to 132 pounds of downward power.
