The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 is a fast, budget-friendly option, which is well-suited for low-end hardware and runs Chrome OS.
Acer has released only one configuration of the laptop so far, which is priced at an attractive $699.
Design-wise, it has an all-aluminum chassis with minimalist lines and chrome edging, which looks good and doesn't come across as ostentatious.
It features a good IPS display, solid build quality, and excellent battery life, making it an easy convertible 2-in-1 to recommend.
In terms of performance, the laptop scored 1,599 in the Geekbench 6 single-core test and 5,482 in the multi-core test, which is more than enough for average Chromebook users.
The laptop's Intel integrated graphics may not be the best, but they're still capable of running most Android games without any lag.
Connectivity options on the laptop include Thunderbolt 4 ports, which are rare on Chromebooks, and legacy ports.
The laptop's display is touch- and pen-enabled, and the webcam is a high-res QHD (2560 x 1440) version.
The Chromebook Plus Spin 714 weighs 3.21 pounds, which is a bit heavy for using it as a tablet.
Overall, the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 is an excellent option for those who don't need the complexity and wide compatibility of Windows 11 and macOS, but a simple tablet isn't enough.
