Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great Chromebook. We would have given it 5 stars if it were just a bit lighter, but we're not using it for traveling so that isn't a huge issue. The screen is clear and bright, it has a nice selection of ports and jacks, including HDMI, and the keyboard is very comfortable. We picked this model because of the positive reviews it has received and we weren't disappointed.

As Chromebooks go, the Acer Pin 714 is among the best. It's fast, responsive, and relatively lightweight (<3 pounds). Not to mention the battery life! In my experience, I often exceed the promised 10 hours. Some reviews have noted the sound quality. It's not perfect, certainly not for audiophiles, but it is perfectly adequate for Google Meet and Zoom. That said, when listening to music I prefer using Google's Nest Audio.

Did my research on 714 spin. I waited for it to go on sale for under $500. Been using the cheaper Chromebooks for a while. Then dicided I need a more powerful Chromebook. Does what I needed for, with no problems at all. Great Chromebook.

Acer makes a fantastic 2-in-1 Chromebook. This is an upgrade for me, as I previously owned a earlier model of the Spin that held up decently despite being rode hard. If you're on the fence about Chrome as an operating system, the only thing it can't do is run specific software that was built for PCs, but if there is a version of it in the Google play store you are good to go with these new Chromebooks. I didn't think I needed a touchscreen laptop but now I wouldn't ever buy one without it. I don't use the tablet mode or alternative setups, but it works great in the normal laptop orientation.

The Acer chromebook is a decent device. It powers up very quickly and can handle most web based opreations with ease. My only complaint it the weight. It's ~3.2 lbs. Which is quite a bit heavier than my old Google chromebook which tipped the scales at 2.6 lbs.

I did a lot of research, watched lots of review videos and settled on the Acer Chromebook Spin 714- love it so far. Speed is great, screen resolution is fantastic! Bonus that it came with a soft protective case. Would have been perfect if a stylus had been included, but that's not a big deal.

So far it works great. Obviously a little limited due to it being a Chromebook but it’s plenty fast and does my daughter needs for school.

this thing slaps. the touchscreen is great, battery life lasts all day and it run all my daily programs smoothly.

Works well for our son's schoolwork and easily allows Family Link parental controls via Google.

I should have bought a laptop. Chromebook is too difficult to work with. I'll limit it's usage.

If you want something simple rather than Apple or Microsoft, this is the computer for you. And by simple I don't mean something bad it's very easy to navigate. But this Acer is definitely not your typical Chromebook, it well exceeds oh specs on other chrome books. The processor is 13 generation Intel and below the other CPU out of the water. Mine has 250 gigabytes SSD which is plenty because chrome is built off the cloud. You would think that eight gigs of ram is not enough, but the CPU lens hand to the GPU if needed. The screen quality is excellent vivid colors very clear and flows nicely and videos. The build quality is comparable to a Mac, and last but not least amazing battery life. This Chromebook is basically plug-and-play, I definitely recommend it and I did forget something comes with a case, and which all laptops should come with.

I bought this laptop with extremely high expectations. Not unrealistic but still very high by mid range laptop or Chromebook standards. I love Chrome OS, on purpose. I love how simple it is. I love it's Linux core. I love that I can use Linux apps in a container and Android apps. And yet, Chromebooks tend to have great battery life and decent to great performance regardless of specs. This Chromebook had so much going for it. Nice size and weight, good sized higher res screen, decent amount of RAM and storage (certainly for the money and for Chromebooks), a metal body, and a 13th Gen core i5. But then I went to listen to some music and oh no. Nope. I've had cheap phones with louder, fuller speakers. They were just bad. I went to the Best Buy store to test out their floor model and sure enough, they also allowed had quiet, anemic speakers with no mids or bass. Mind you, I'm not expecting my laptop speakers to sound like a full stereo. I'm not expecting these to sound like a laptop twice as expensive either. But I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE tablet and those speakers sound 10 times better. Tablet speakers. Mid range tablet speakers. It was a deal breaker. I've just never owned a laptop with such quiet, sad speakers. It wasn't okay for 2023/2024. I'd pass unless they do a recall and replace the speakers or it's literally half off.

Brilliant display really brings out the resolution. Very fast and love the AI features.

Love this product, have been using for coding and movies. Does not get heated and not too loud at all. Battery is impressive and lasts a day at least.

This is a really solid chromebook, really nice to hold. It flips to look like a tablet is really nice as well. I recommend this chromebook and it has a really responsive touch screen.

We purchased the older version w/o AI. It works just fine. Responsive, with smooth acting keys and mouse pad. The screen has good color, contrast and sharpness. We added a Logitech wireless mouse and it is everything my wife expected from her new Chromebook. It replaces a 5 year old Acer Chromebook that had its charging port give up the ghost. The transition went smoothly and it was up and running in a matter of minutes.

Bought this for my son because it was recommended by another of my sons. They particularly like and consistently use the feature that the top folds backwards to make it super easy to use the computer while lounging in different positions. Clear graphics and sturdy. Not what else to say, they both think it’s perfect.

The chromebook over all is excellent but the sound quality is very low. I would Recommend as long as you are using headphones or somewhere quiet so you can hear because the volume isn't that loud.

Great laptop. Fast. Touchscreen. Runs Android apps and Linux applications. Just missing a built-in stylus.

Chromebook is the unix based ecosystem built for the modern world, simple, secure, lowest price for the highest quality, and most importantly the least headaches in the future. Takes a small effort to familiarize to OS, such as using Linux tools / apps like Signal for messaging. This is the future. The sooner you cancel your subscription to the "two famous operating systems", the sooner you can have your life back and be able to rest in peace, at least technology wise !
