12/5/19 1st cut at review. Just opened my Acer Chromebook Spin 13 this morning. A very nice machine ! Fantastic screen & color. Stylus tucked into the frame very nicely.

Setting up the Acer Chromebook Spin 13 was very easy. The only thing you may need to do is create a Gmail account, but once that is done, everything else is pretty simple. And since I already had a Gmail account, everything synced with my existing account. One feature that I liked was that most of the popular Google apps appear at the bottom of the screen (ie. Google Chrome, Gmail, YouTube and the Playstore) but you have the ability to customize your display.

This is my first experience with a Chromebook. I have plenty of experience with Mac and Windows laptops, so this is new to me. My first impression is: wow, this is really fast! It starts up in seconds, and programs open up instantly. The battery life is excellent, with around 10 hours from a single charge. The battery life indicator consistently calculates over 10 hours after I fully charge the laptop, so the marketing claim of 10 hours is accurate. The specs on this laptop are pretty impressive and the hardware goes even further because it doesnt have to run the bloat of Windows or MacOS. The operating system is designed such that it wont get bogged down over time. Most of the file storage is cloud-based, and all of your settings, browser bookmarks, etc. are synced to Google Drive by default so you can do a reset of the OS called a Power Wash at any time without losing anything, although I doubt will never need to do this.

I got a really good deal on this laptop/tablet. Its performance is stunning. The ChromeOS is superior to Windows in every respect (except running windows applications), but with Linux supported and Windows emulators that run on Linux, I suspect that wont be a problem much longer.

We purchased the Acer Chromebook Spin 314 in Feb 2023 for $345.49 and less than 2 month later, it started to turn off erratically. Each time, a hard turn on (using the side button) was required to turn it back on. Now, 3 months later, it turns off more frequently, and it is harder to turn back on each time. It is insanely annoying, and most certainly not an expected behavior for a Chromebook. I tried to return it (not possible, since I had passed the return date), and tried to contact the reseller eTechtronics to, at the minimum, get the computer serviced, or replaced. After multiple inquiries, and now several weeks, I did not receive any response back. I am truly disappointed with my experience with Amazon and eTechtronics and will most certainly never order computers on Amazon anymore.

Our first chrome book. We will use it mostly for web browsing and writing. It starts up very quickly and handles multiple web pages being open simultaneously. Should have switched to chrome book sooner!

Had this machine for three days now and enjoy using it and discovering the new technology. Two...no, three things...maybe four, to remember. First, stop comparing this to Windows 10. What is the point? If you cant live without or think you cant live without Windows 10, then buy an MS Surface.

This is my second Chromebook and, coincidentally, my second Acer. I purchased my first Acer Chromebook (Acer C910-54M1 15.6-Inch LED 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) Chromebook - Intel Core i5 i5-5200U 2.20 GHz - Black) back in June of 2015 as a way to move away from my 13 MacBook Pro. Excellent experience with that particular Acer Chromebook and felt I was ready to step up to something else. So glad I picked this new Acer Spin 13 instead of the Google Pixelbook 2 I originally had my eyes on. Would have made a nice pairing with my Google Pixel 2 XL phone, but the Acer Spin 13 fits the bill nicely. Great screen, excellent backlit keyboard, vibrant colors, serious horsepower, and the battery lasts quite a long time.

best device I have ever owned at this point in my life. Fast, looks great, easy to use, responsive touch screen, great resolution, great size, great battery life and looks slick. the only minor complaint is that the speaker comes from the keyboard. I highly recommend the product especially for the price.

This is my first chromebook and its great, the included stylus is perfect. Im working with a program that uses G Suite for everything so having something native works extremely well! The battery life is perfect l.
