Reviews for the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 CP514-4HN
Source: Android Police

The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 is in an interesting position, price-wise. At over $500 (you can sometimes find it on sale for the mid-$400 range), it's not cheap. Luckily, the performance is worth the sale price tag. Build-quality-wise, you can spend a little more and get something that feels better with the Asus CX54 Chromebook Plus. You could also consider Samsung's Galaxy Chromebook, which recently earned our AP Editor's Choice award. Then, there are many options for Chromebooks in the $200 range on Amazon, specifically from HP and Lenovo, which might be ideal if it's only used for homework. However, if you're sharing the workstation, the extra power, RAM, and storage space is probably worth it here, despite the clunky plastic build quality — which isn't a deal-breaker.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
