It would not be CES with out new Chromebooks, and Acer has a brand new trio to announce — although two of them aren’t anticipated to reach till June of 2022. The most intriguing of them is a brand new model of the Chromebook Spin 513 (pictured above), one in all Acer’s mid-range choices. While the corporate already sells a number of totally different configurations of the Spin 513, this new mannequin has a considerably uncommon processor on board. It’s utilizing MediaTek’s eight-core Kompanio 1380 processor, coupled with as much as 8GB of RAM and as much as 128GB of storage. In the previous, I’ve been reluctant to suggest Chromebooks with out Intel processors, however I will not write this one off with out testing it first. 

Assuming the processor holds up, there are another issues to love concerning the Chromebook Spin 513. This yr’s mannequin has a 13.5-inch touchscreen with a 2,256 x 1,504 decision; that is a 3:2 side ratio just like the Chromebook Spin 713 I reviewed final yr. The Spin 713 is an costly Chromebook at $699, however the Spin 513 is priced at $599. That’s not low-cost, however I’m glad to see Acer put this 3:2 show on a cheaper choice. As the identify suggests, the Flip 513 has a 360-degree hinge so the laptop computer could be flipped round into pill mode in addition to “tent” mode for watching video. Unfortunately, we’ll have to attend till June for this laptop computer to go on sale.

The different two new Acer Chromebooks are price range choices, each priced at $299. The 2022 Chromebook 315 is a 15.6-inch laptop computer, and its massive 1080p panel (touchscreen optionally available) is the principle promoting level right here. Other specs are fairly normal for this worth vary: Intel Celeron or Pentium Silver processors, as much as 8GB of RAM, 64GB or 128GB of storage and about 10 hours of battery life. The Chromebook 314, then again, is actually the identical because the 315, it simply has a smaller, 14-inch 1080p display screen. The Chromebook 315 shall be on sale this month within the US, however the 314 will not be out there till June.
