an excellent device with plenty of features to keep you hooked for days
Connectivity is good
The processor and memory were quite good for multitasking

slight heft can make this machine a little awkward to use in tablet mode
slightly chunkier designs and 1080p screens
keyboard has no numberpad or function row - not ideal for certain work tasks
not a touch screen
only compatible with Intel (or AMD) CPUs
offline functionality is extremely limited
low-end Intel CPUs
A handful of software incompatibility issues are annoying
Tough Screen and a Tight Hinge The touch display
tall screen wobbling when bumped
predictable lack of bass puts a damper on extended music playback
the speakers are always in the wrong place
the sharp diamond cut at the edges is not the most practical
does not track and analyze the internet surfing habits of its users
backlight though - it is not perfectly uniform or adjustable
The trackpad is quite hard work
some noticeable plus points
dull
old-fashioned looking clamshell laptop
Chrome logo on the lid has lost its colour
Its screen had a blue cast and looked washed out
It doesn t have any USB-A ports for connecting older peripherals
Flex 5i is a bit thicker
cramped keyboard impossible to adjust to even as someone who adjusts to weird keyboards
abysmally slow MediaTek processor
It s not designed for high resolution gaming
The lighting turns off after around 30 seconds of inactivity
colors darken and become less vibrant due to insufficient lighting
display doesn t support touch input
it feels too much like a browser
lack of biometric authentication was one of our very few knocks against the last model
you can only purchase Spin 713 units without a fingerprint reader
that s currently available to purchase does not have a fingerprint scanner on it
The noise wasn t always annoying
the fans were almost constantly spinning in this model
vocals were hard to distinguish under muddy bass tones
the Chromebook 13 falls just short of greatness
thick bezels do nothing to improve that weak first impression
more expensive than comparable Windows laptops and lacks a touchscreen
tiny and way too sensitive
Acer could have shaved off some chassis space by slimming down the bezels
lack of touch compatibility
Acer Chromebook 13 is only available in the US at the time of writing
the size of the top and bottom bezels of the screen
not every Chrome OS laptop is capable of pulling this off
There s a lot to talk about the unit at hand
