Acer Chromebook Spin 13

 

Acer's prime-cut Chromebook Spin 13 is a topped-out 2-in-1 convertible that delivers all-metal ruggedness and unrivaled performance, but at a gourmet price.

Strong performance on bench tests. Aluminum chassis. Roomy display. Comfortable keyboard. Stylus is included and cleverly housed.

Pricey. Average-at-best battery life. Heavy.

Bottom Line: Acer's prime-cut Chromebook Spin 13 is a topped-out 2-in-1 convertible that delivers all-metal ruggedness and unrivaled performance, but at a gourmet price.

The market for high-end Chromebooks is growing, but we know how affordable models are driving the spread of Google's OS around the world. A good reason to consider this laptop? The Pixelbook, the closest alternative you can think of, is not officially...

Why Would You Spend $900 on a Luxurious Chromebook?

 

Chromebooks should not cost $1,000. As much as I adore the Pixelbook from Google, I know I cannot reasonably ask anyone I care about to spend a minimum of $1,000 to own it. Which means it is also a struggle to consider Acer's Chromebook Spin 13, which...

Acer Chromebook Spin 13 hands on

 

Premium build and a 2-in-1 design make this a desirable Chromebook. Acer Chromebook Spin 13 hands on.

The combination of a premium set of features and a low price are sure to make this a tempting device for many. Windows devotees won’t be convinced but for casual computer users that still want a quality device it could be ideal.

Acer Chromebook Spin 13 convertible review

 

A laptop that wants to lure businesses to Google's other operating system

Gorgeous display ; Premium finish ; Integrated stylus

Expensive ; No HDMI port ; Can’t switch off keyboard backlight

Can Acer's premium convertible Chromebook take the fight to its Windows rivals?

Superb 4:3 touchscreen ; Loads of computing power ; Slick convertible exterior ; Decent keyboard

Windows users won’t like it ; Middling battery life ; Mediocre port selection

Chrome OS isn’t for everyone but the superb screen, great design and plenty of internal power makes this one of the best Chromebooks available right now
