Overview

• Acer announced the 14-inch Chromebook Plus Spin 514 at IFA 2025 as its first laptop powered by MediaTek’s Arm-based Kompanio Ultra 910.
• The model is priced at $699.99 and is slated to launch this month, positioning it as a convertible alternative to Lenovo’s earlier Kompanio Ultra 910 flagship.
• Hands-on testing reports likely strong endurance from a 70Wh battery and solid performance, but notes a cooling fan, no side power button, and up-firing speakers that complicate tablet or tent use.
• The Gorilla Glass touchscreen supports USI 2.0 styluses and comes with IPS options at 1920×1200 or 2880×1800 resolution, which the reviewer says lack the punch of Lenovo’s OLED.
• Connectivity and specs include Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, up to 16GB RAM, up to 256GB UFS 4.0 storage, dual 10Gbps USB‑C with DisplayPort/Power Delivery, two USB‑A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a 3.5mm jack, and either a 1080p or 5MP webcam.
