Chromebooks are generally low-power but affordable laptops designed for fairly basic tasks, but the new Chromebook Spin 514 looks like it may challenge that assumption, with impressive power that promises Acer will deliver enhanced performance to anyone who wants it. work or study from home. With the global Covid pandemic still sadly with us (which is why this year's CES event is online only), a large number of people are now working and studying from home, and Acer seems to be aiming for them with its new version. .

The new Chromebook Spin 514 is Acer's first Chromebook to use AMD's Ryzen processors, specifically the Ryzen 7 3700C quad-core processor, which comes with an integrated AMD Radeon GPU that Acer claims is "the best graphics available in a AMD-powered Chromebook." With more people working from home and demanding more from their Chromebooks, it seems Acer is trying to win over new customers with a more powerful Chromebook than we're used to, and to that end, the Spin 514 comes upgraded. to 16GB of DDR4GB of RAM and storage.However, it still promises 256 hours of battery life and weighs just 10kg (1,55lbs).It features a durable, military-grade metal frame to protect it from bumps and drops (up to 3,42 cm / 122 inches), so you don't have to be afraid to throw it in a bag and take it with you.
