Acer – Chromebook Plus Spin 714 Laptop with Google AI – 14″ WUXGA Touch – Intel Core Ultra 5 115U – 8GB LPDDR5 – 256GB SSD – Steel Gray

In < 2 yrs this solid product became a paperweight - I really liked this laptop/tablet combo when I first purchased it. It offered great flexibility for what I needed (docs, canva, streaming shows) and integration into the Google universe. Unfortunately I experienced a hard drive issue in the first year, which required factory replacement of the part. In August, a ChromeOS update caused my laptop to experience an update loop that required resetting my laptop (and losing some files). I implemented the work arounds that were suggested, and was able to use my laptop for about 2 weeks before it bricked up. This is a KNOWN issue for both Google and Acer. At this moment, there is no fix. I haven't been able to use the laptop in about 2 months and looking like the foreseable future. It's a shame, truly,

Works well but... - The book itself is nice. Sturdy and powerful. The option to flip it into a tablet could be better since there's no lip arount the keyboard . However, my biggest complaint isn't the build it's the OS. The Bluetooth is limited so you can't use high quality earbuds and you can't use any plug in peripherals (ie a Square card reader). While it does some of what I need it to do, it's just something to stream movies and music and surf the web. It won't even allow me to downllad my most commonly used apps for editing. Buy a cheaper one.

Great - Bought this for my 11 year old for school, and he is loving it, works great, battery lasts, and is very fast for what they need.

Convenient and portable - This chromebook has worked well for my for school so far, i just hope microsoft makes a compatible version of the excel app for chromebook soon.

Was a good device until Aug 26 chromeOS update - This was a good device that was useful and a powerful chromebook. But there was an update in August 2026 to the chromeos. Which has basically bricked this device. There are many users in the Google Chromeos forums and have notified Acer but no fix has been released. Still 1 month+ with no stable os or beta that works with the device. Its a shame. It is also too bad the device is locked down and you cant install an alternative os to still use the device while waiting for a new stable os update can be released.

Chromebook for kids - junior high - great product. bought two of them because i have twin girls. they just started 7th grade.

Fried - I bought this new and the motherboard stopped working after a year and a half. I guess the lesson is to buy an extended warranty when purchasing a computer. Too bad Acer does not stand by its product. In speaking with customer service, if it is out of the warranty period there is nothing they can do. Everyone one I spoke to was nice and professional, this is not a reflection of their service.

Acer - Chromebook Plus Spin 714 Laptop - I love this Chromebook. Very fast, easy setup and beautiful screen.

Chromebook - Everything syncs beautifully between my Chromebook. My watch my phone, the screen is bright and very clear and keyboard is very easy to use as is the mouse pad. Couldn't be happier

Beautiful Computer - This Acer is the second one which I bought for my Granddaughter. In fact I purchased 2 identical units. Love the look and feel of it as well as the performance.

Specs Great - I recently upgraded to this Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 from my 2021 Lenovo IdeaPad because my previous keyboard began malfunctioning. While this model offers new features, I have mixed feelings about whether it is a true upgrade. The build is noticeably heavier than my previous laptop, and I have found that if I don't manually sign off, the battery continues to drain significantly while not in use. I am still evaluating whether the performance improvements justify these practical drawbacks.

Very good product. - To date: The Chromebook has performed just great to date. It was easy to set-up and easy to use. The Chromebook also allows me to print & scan.

Excellent - Is fast, the apps more important to work are already in the system. Is great for me.

Touch Screen Barely Works - I like everything, so far, about this computer except the touch screen. I wonder if the one I received is defective as I have to press the screen several times before it responds, if it responds.

It performs well - Replaced my 15 yrs old Chromebook with this and it been perfect so far as I only use it for basic needs. I like the touchscreen and flip mode that can be a tablet as well - just a bit heavier. Overall a great purchase and got it for less than $600.

The Ultimate Everyday AI Chromebook - The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 perfectly blends premium hardware with Google AI. Powered by an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, it handles multitasking effortlessly, while the 14" WUXGA touchscreen offers beautiful clarity and 2-in-1 versatility. It is an exceptionally fast, sleek, and smart device for work, study, and creative tasks.

Fast and Reliable - Fantastic device for teachers and students alike. Great build, speed and the sound and screen brightness are great

Best Chromebook - This is one of the best laptops I've ever owned. The overall performance is excellent—it runs fast, smooth, and responsive. The touchscreen works great, and I love that it easily converts into a tablet when I need it. The backlit keyboard is another feature I really appreciate, especially when working in low-light conditions. If you're looking for a Chromebook, I highly recommend this one. It's been one of the best purchases I've made, and I'm extremely happy with it.

Great chrome with decent specs - I like the specs and nice build quality of this laptop wth a nice back lit keyboard and would recommend for its price point.

So far so food - My son has been using this for about a month and he loves it. It does lag a little with lots of programs running, but I expected that.
