I won’t go on a diatribe about Chromebook Plus branding right now (I did that already today), but it’s a real shame that devices as fantastic as the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 aren’t publicly labeled as Chromebook Plus right now.

Of all the Chromebooks that have been released in the last year, there were few I enjoyed as much as Acer’s thin, light, and powerful Spin 513.

By this point late in the year, I really expected there to be more 13th-gen Intel Chromebooks in the works. Last year around this time, I was tracking 13 total 12th-gen Intel-based Chromebooks in some form of development. At this point in 2022 – before this post – I only had eyes on the main […]

You’ll likely recall that we had hands-on time with the new Acer Chromebook Spin 513 back in January for CES 2022. At the time, we couldn’t benchmark it, we couldn’t show you too much of it and we knew that the hardware was unfinished and pre-production. The Spin 513 we have here today is anything […]
