Add in Android compatibility and the whole-day battery life (simply scale back the display brightness) and you’ve got a surprising product that deserves to be thought-about.Compared to Windows gadgets, this Chromebook holds its floor, though the varied relative deserves of every working system will in all probability have to be mentioned individually. Should Acer produce a Windows model of this laptop computer? Sure. Could Acer make a model with each working programs? Why not?

If you’re after a Chromebook for business use, the Spin 13 is probably the best out there, pushing Google’s Pixelbook aside thanks to better hardware and a bundled stylus that’s more than just a gimmick.

Overall, the Acer Spin hits a ton of high points and checks off a lot of boxes for a lot of users. It is well built with a fantastic display that feels larger than the 13.5-inch spec sheet implies. The pen is great and always there, battery life is solid, and performance is insane.

If you are looking for a Chromebook with high levels of performance, the Chromebook Spin 13 is it. However, the performance is absolute overkill for most people and the $899 price means a select few will actually take advantage of what is being offered.

That’s about it for my impressions of the Acer ChromeBook Spin 13, but as I mentioned from the beginning, I’m not a ChromeBook user and thus have looked at this one from the subjective perspective of a Windows user, so feel free to add your opinions and questions in the comments sections below.

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.
