The Galaxy Chromebook 2 is officially available but the jury’s still out as to whether or not Samsung’s premium follow-up is going to be worth its $699 price tag. At least for now, the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 is still the reigning champion when it comes to the best value and overall features in a premium Chromebook. The 10th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU with 8GB of RAM is powerful enough to chew through just about anything. Whether you’re a tab hoarder, YouTube binger, or a developer looking to leverage Linux on Chrome OS, the Spin can handle it.
The Spin offers ample power but what makes it so impressive is the very affordable price tag. At $629, you won’t find another Chromebook with these specs and that’s not even considering the fact that the Spin 713 has that beautiful 3:2 display that offers up the exact same real estate as a standard 14″ FullHD display. No doubt about it, the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 is a unicorn among a hodgepodge of devices that are either underpowered or overpriced.
