Hold up! Are Chromebooks good now? Yea, I’m just as surprised as you are. It’s been a journey of rediscovery for me since I was blindsided by the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 — the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 chipset being its ace in the hole to make one of my favorite laptops of the year.
Now, it’s the turn of the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514, and once again, it’s shot up the charts and is easily one of the best 2-in-1 laptops you can get right now. That Arm chip makes all ChromeOS processes fly by like it's nothing, while still giving you that same MacBook-esque stamina — all packed into a shell that feels amazing to hold with great ergonomics on the keyboard and touchpad too.
