The CPUs come with up to 14 cores and 45W TDP (Thermal Design Power). The laptop can pack Intel’s latest 13th Gen Core H Series processors. It’s 14.9mm thin and weighs in at only 1.25 kg. However, while Acer says it has slimmed the Chromebook Spin 514’s bezels down to 6.1mm, its overall screen-to-body ratio of 78% doesn’t strike me as all that impressive. The Swift Go is a premium thin-and-light device boasting an aluminum construction with diamond-cut edges. There’s also 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and Acer says the Chromebook Spin 514 has “military-grade” durability thanks to its sandblasted aluminium chassis (available in silver, grey, and green), which has been tested to resist drops of up to four feet.Īcer has also included a 1920 x 1080 IPS touchscreen with Gorilla Glass in front, along with handy features including a backlit keyboard and somewhat low-res but still serviceable HD webcam. After a new round of testing, well be adding the following picks to this guide: the Acer Chromebook Spin 513 will be our top pick, the Lenovo Flex 5i.

That’s because it’s equipped with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 3700C CPU, which is a 4-core/8-thread processor with a 2.3 GHz base clock (4.0 GHz boost), 6 MB cache, 10 Radeon Cores at 1400 MHz, and 15W TDP.

Starting at just $US480 ($619), Acer’s Chromebook Spin 514 is poised to be one of the better performing and more durable Chromebooks in its segment.
