- Is the Acer Chromebook Plus 714 worth $1,000?
- It is a fast Chromebook with 16GB of RAM and a 120Hz screen, but $1,000.26 at Newegg as of November 7, 2026 is premium pricing. Buy it if you want a quick Chrome OS machine; otherwise a cheaper Chromebook Plus will do most of the same work.
- How does it compare with the previous Chromebook Plus 714?
- This version moves to the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U with 12 cores and LPDDR5X memory, and keeps the 14-inch 1920x1200 120Hz display. The newer chip is the main reason to pick it over older models.
- How long does the battery last?
- Acer does not publish a runtime figure for this configuration, and real-world results depend on screen brightness and load. Expect a full workday of browsing and documents from the Li-Ion battery, less with heavy video or many tabs.
- Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?
- The 16GB of LPDDR5X memory is soldered and cannot be upgraded. Storage comes as a 256GB or 1TB SSD depending on the model, so choose the larger one up front if you keep many local files.
- Does it have a fingerprint reader and backlit keyboard?
- Yes. Both are included, along with Bluetooth 5.4 and a webcam. There is no numeric keypad on the 14-inch chassis.
- When is it cheapest?
- Only one store, Newegg, lists it new at $1,000.26 as of November 7, 2026, so there is no competing price to wait for. Watch for seasonal sales at that store rather than expecting a lower price elsewhere.
