A looker with a stylus.
The Spin 714, the company’s newest premium Chromebook certified through the Intel Evo platform, looks like a similar package to the 713 in many ways. It has up to a top-notch Core i7-1260P, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. There’s an option for a high-resolution 2560 x 1600 display covering a claimed 100 percent of the sRGB color gamut.
But Acer has made some clear strides in one important area: the looks. I’ve spent a week with the Spin 714, and I’ve looked at a bunch of photos side by side with photos of last year’s 713, and I have decided that the 714 is, in fact, more attractive. Which, if the 714 is as strong of a performer as the 713 in testing, could make it a very strong contender for the best Chromebook of 2022.
It comes in a nice dark color with a sturdy build and a comfortable texture. From the backlit keyboard to the lustrous accents on the touchpad and the keyboard and the hinge, it’s far ahead of the 713’s school laptop cart aesthetic . It looks and feels like quite a nice device.You can even use it backwards.A solid keyboard with a smooth texture.There is one area in which the Spin 714 is a bit of a step backward from the 713: aspect ratio.
And for those who are all about the modern aesthetic, the 16:10 may be an improvement. The Spin 713 has a fairly big chin while the Spin 714’s looks smaller with the Acer logo less conspicuous. You can check outThe Spin 714 that Acer sent us was a pre-production sample, meaning I can’t speak to the device’s performance and battery life yet. But, so far, I’m not seeing a ton of warning signs. The display looks great , and, while the touchpad is a tad stiff, the keyboard is comfortable as well.
