Read our guide to how we test and review on Creative Bloq and in particular how we test laptops, PCs and workstations for more details of my process.ĬPU AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor quad-core 3.7 GHzĭisplay 35.6 cm (14") Full HD (1920 x 1080) 16:9 Touchscreen To review this 2-in-1 laptop I used it over two months, on work and craft projects, as well as connecting it to a Xencelabs pen tablet (the USB-C port made this easier than on other Chromebooks). If you need more power this brand has the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 that comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 processor. There is a cheaper build with a dual-core AMD Ryzen 3 and 4GB. The model I'm reviewing here is the quad-core AMD Ryzen 5 processor and AMD Radeon GPU with 8GB RAM and 128GB eMMC flash memory. There are plenty of ports on the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 too, meaning you have HDMI, USB 1.0 and dual USB Type-C ports for charging and connecting to a second monitor or device. This Chromebook can be folded and flexed in a number of ways with ease, and unlike cheaper 2-in-1 laptops the metal frame and sturdy hinges ensure durability. The size of the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 means it ideal for crafters looking for the best Chromebooks for Cricut as as well as a good tablet alternative, ensuring it's one of the best tablets for students – the Spin 514 is a 2-in-1 laptop that can be folded into a tablet.
