Reviews for the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 CP514-2H-53K9

80% Acer Chromebook Spin 514 (CP514-2H) review: Good, but nothing special
Source: Expert Reviews
There’s a lot to like about the Spin 514. It’s a well-designed and competent Chromebook with good performance and a decent screen but there’s nothing about it that really shouts “buy me”. With faster models now emerging that have equally good, if not better quality displays, you’re better off choosing something else. Either pay a bit more for the Spin 713 (£700) with its superb 4:3 QHD screen or wait and see how the next generation of Chromebooks stack up.
