Acer Chromebook Spin 513 CP513-1H

New Chromebook from Acer

In addition to updating well-known lines, Acer also presented something completely new. For example, its first Chromebook based on Qualcomm's mobile chipset, which we are used to seeing in smartphones. In this case, we are talking about the 8-core model Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c, which performs in an ensemble with an Adreno 618 graphics adapter, 8 GB of RAM and a drive of up to 128 GB.

Issue price $429

Like any other Chromebook, the possible success of the Chromebook Spin 513 is based on three things: a low price tag, a compact body and long battery life. Judging by the presentation, the company scores high in all three categories. The price tag starts at $429, which is cheaper than any low-cost laptop. The case weighs less than 1.2 kg and is 15.55 mm thick. And in terms of area, it is hardly larger than an ordinary sheet of A4 paper. Well, the built-in battery promises continuous operation for 14 hours. However it is not clear under what scenario the use and brightness of the display.

13" IPS display

The Chromebook Spin 513 has a 13-inch IPS display with classic Full HD resolution. A pair of 360-degree screen mounts allow you to rotate your Chromebook into one of four positions: clamshell mode for traditional keyboard input, tablet, screen, and tent mode for presentations or when working in tight spaces.

Pair of built-in microphones for better voice transmission

Among the chips of the model stand out wide communication capabilities: in addition to basic Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth, the company promises a pair of full-featured USB-C ports with the ability to connect a monitor or charge, regular USB A, a pair of built-in microphones for better voice transmission and an optional LTE modem. In addition to the regular Chromebook Spin 513, the corporate version of the Chromebook Enterprise Spin 513 will also go on sale with the ability to automatically register on the corporate network and the like.
