I wrote an op-ed on how $1,000 Chromebooks shouldn’t be a thing and I stand by that statement thanks to the Acer Chromebook Spin 714. This sub-$500 has a lot going for it, including nearly 13 hours of battery life. Plus, according to our reviewer, it's the most attractive Chromebook they've ever review.
That's high praise considering the less premium system tend to look like unassuming gray slabs.
But let's leave the Spin 714's dark-gray finish with the gold accents for a minute and take a look beneath the chassis.
With its Intel Core i5-1335U CPU, don't expect the system to do any heavy data crunching or run AutoCAD, but it can definitely do light-to-mid level work.
But dismiss the 2-in-1 just yet. On the Geekbench 6 test, it defeated the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook which costs $300 more –– 6,335 vs. 4,263.
The tables were turned on the JetStream 2.0 benchmark, which tests how quickly large web pages load.
The Chromebook Spin 714 achieved a score of 250.2, which bests the Chromebook average (240), but not the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook (256.7).
The Spin 714 also got the win our battery test with a time of 12 hours and 43 minutes, totally eclipsing the Dragonfly's time of 9:17. It just goes to show, price doesn't always dictate quality.
