- Is the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 worth $1,341.99?
- That price is steep for a Chromebook. It buys 12 GB of RAM, a 256 GB SSD and a 120Hz touchscreen, but comparable Chrome OS laptops often sell for less. Compare the two new listings before deciding.
- How does it compare with the older Spin 514?
- This Plus model adds the Chromebook Plus spec floor: a 1080p or better webcam, at least 8 GB of RAM and a faster CPU. It ships with 12 GB of LPDDR5X and a 256 GB SSD, which is more memory and storage than the earlier versions.
- Does it come with a stylus?
- The listing does not confirm a stylus in the box. The touchscreen supports USI pens, so check the box contents with the store before buying if note-taking matters to you.
- Can it run Android and Linux apps?
- Yes. Chrome OS supports Android apps from Google Play and a Linux container, so you can run mobile apps and some desktop Linux software alongside the browser.
- Is the 120Hz screen worth it?
- The 120Hz refresh makes scrolling and pen input feel smoother, and it can drop to 60Hz to save battery. It is a nice extra, but not a reason to pay a premium on its own.
- When is it cheapest?
- With only two stores listing it new, discounts are likely tied to back-to-school and holiday sales. Track the price history here rather than assuming the current $1,341.99 is the floor.
