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 final—but pesky speakers sound like they’re 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.

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