Not for you if you open multiple windows (13+).....Laggy
By Dave Holliday on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2025
Good value for the price but because I keep a bunch of windows open on multiple screens it becomes slow and lags a lot. Had I known this I would have just gotten a more powerful setup. I dont use the folding/ standing features but they are nice. I use a pen and I find the touchscreen is pretty responsive. I use a mouse so I cant say much for the touchpad but it seems adequate. Again, not bad for the price.

Keeps turning off after less than 3 month. Reseller eTechtronics does not respond to inquiries.
By CC on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2023
We purchased the Acer Chromebook Spin 314 in Feb 2023 for $345.49 and less than 2 month later, it started to turn off erratically. Each time, a hard turn on (using the side button) was required to turn it back on. Now, 3 months later, it turns off more frequently, and it is harder to turn back on each time. It is insanely annoying, and most certainly not an expected behavior for a Chromebook. I tried to return it (not possible, since I had passed the return date), and tried to contact the reseller eTechtronics to, at the minimum, get the computer serviced, or replaced. After multiple inquiries, and now several weeks, I did not receive any response back. I am truly disappointed with my experience with Amazon and eTechtronics and will most certainly never order computers on Amazon anymore.

Handy Laptop

I like the size of the screen, but there was no manual for the laptop. I’m 73 years old, and technology is very hard to set up and understand if there are no instructions.
I have concerns

I purchased in Oct 2022. After using the unit for a few weeks, I have concerns about the battery. It gets very hot. The bottom of the unit gets hot enough to be uncomfortable when I have it resting on my chest while surfing (in my recliner). I have a shirt on yet the heat from the bottom is enough to have me looking for a towel to use as a pad. Also, this unit replaced an ASUS chromebook that is years older yet the ASUS seems to load websites faster. Finally, the touchpad is not nearly as sensitive as the ASUS'. I often have to tap twice to get a reaction. There also seems to be an occasional issue with loading facebook's short videos. After they load, you can't close the window by clicking "x" in the upper corner. You have to scroll back using the back arrow on the browser bar. Annoying.
Received outdated Chrome Book. Worked for one week.

Do not buy a computer through Amazon.
No cases fit!

No cases fit this so if you are buying this for a 3rd grader for school like me, it is awful šŸ˜ž. I want to return this but not sure I can.
Excellent Value

Build quality is solid. It's not a Mac or a Dell XPS but it also doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. The ability to flip into a large tablet is a great feature. The screen is above average and is full HD. Streaming looks wonderful. The keyboard is nice though I do wish it was backlit. It has a perfect amount of ports (USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, 3.5mm, SD) and charges via USB-C. The trackpad is extra large and works wonderfully. If Chrome OS is sufficient for your needs, this is an excellent laptop and streaming device.
