Reviews for the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714-1H, Ultra 5 115U

Some users don’t need the complexity and wide compatibility of Windows 11 and macOS, but a simple tablet like an iPad or an Android tablet won’t suffice. That’s where Chromebooks come in, and the Chromebook Plus Spin 714 is a solid addition. It’s fast enough and has good enough battery life, with a display that’s not spectacular but is good enough for most uses. At its $699 price is low enough that it’s a good budget option. It’s an easy convertible 2-in-1 to recommend.

The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 is an impressive AI upgrade to the classic Spin 714. It combines more powerful processor options with the stylish, comfortable design of previous models. It’s ideal for students or professionals who mainly work through web browsing. The built-in AI features are useful and functional, but you’ll get a smooth user experience regardless of whether you choose to utilize them. The Spin 714 isn’t ideal for gaming — and Acer didn't design it to be. But it can handle casual mobile games or even cloud gaming. So, you have options if you want to do some light gaming on the side. If you’re looking for something less limited, visit our guide to the best gaming laptops for some top alternatives.

Intel Graphics 4-Core: Integrated graphics card based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). Provides 4 Xe cores (64 Xe vector engines) and 4 ray tracing units.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Ultra 5 115U: A lower-end Meteor Lake chip that debuted some time in 2024. This 1st Gen Core Ultra processor has 8 cores (2 + 4 + 2) and 10 threads at its disposal. Due to its slightly lower clock speeds and a lower number of E-cores, the 115U should be 10% to 15% slower than the 125U in multi-threaded tasks. The 4-core Arc Graphics, in the meantime, should be just a little slower than the aging 96 EU Iris Xe GPU.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.

77%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
