Q: QuestionWhy don't you guys have the new Acer Chromebook spin plus 514 in the store? I would like to play around with it before actually purchasing it and I'm waiting on the sale. You have anything in that model coming up as sale?

Asked 3 months ago by Hollywood.

• A:Answer These are in-stock in some, mostly larger, BBs, but they sell out fast everywhere. I could have driven 15 miles and picked one up but I elected to have it shipped to me and received it in 2 days, no charge.

Q: QuestionAre there ads in Chromebook as I see them often in Chrome Browser? Can I use Brave browser instead?

Asked 3 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer If you're getting ads, it's from the sites you visit. This is a CHROMEbook so the entire OS is built around CHROME. ChromeOS includes robust support for Android apps, so you can run alternative browsers as apps, but you can't replace the native browser.

Q: QuestionCan a SIM card be installed so this computer can be used with cell phone services like Verizon?

Asked 4 months ago by lissenindoc.

• A:Answer Not included, but you can link to your phone's hotspot, and that can be set up to happen automatically if a WiFi network is not detected. The feature is called "Conected devices". You basically "pair" your Chromebook and phone and lots of good things happen.
