Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514: Speedy, $700, Speaker-Tragedy!
Acer's 2025 Chromebook Plus Spin 514 waltzes in with $700 price tags, MediaTek Kompanio powered pep, and stylus-loving touchscreen charm. Tested last month as preproduction, now finalābut pesky speakers sound like theyāre bubbled in a tin can, and fingerprint sensor ghosts away. With excellent battery life and speedy performance praised by The Verge, it still can't outrun Lenovo's Chromebook Plus 14, crowned secretly in reviewers' hearts. Acer makes 'Spin-series Chromebooks' like a soap opera spins stories: lots of episodes, some drama, and this one, their 'best yet,' minus the speaker serenade and biometric bragging rights.

Acerās new $700 Chromebook spins fast, lasts long, but sounds like itās phone-homeing to the crabby speaker galaxy and forgot its fingerprint party invite. Tech surely keeps us on our toes, or ears.
Acerās Chromebook runs like a cheetah and sounds like a cheerless kazoo. At $700, itās less āPlus Spinā and more āMinus Speaker Symphony.ā
Why pay $700 for battery life and stylus magic when you can suffer crummy muffled jams? Acerās plus is a minus for earbuds everywhere.
