The Spin 13 is impressive, and one of the most versatile Chromebooks on the market. It looks the part thanks to its all-aluminium construction, the screen is fantastic, while the Core i5 processor and generous helping of memory inside make it more powerful than most other Chromebooks. It really does come down to how you’re going to use your new machine. If you’re already in bed with Google’s services – and happy to base your laptop life around them – then the Acer Chromebook Spin 13 is a fantastic choice.
Superb 4:3 touchscreen; Loads of computing power; Slick convertible exterior; Decent keyboard;
Windows users won’t like it; Middling battery life; Mediocre port selection;
