Product Information

Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). With a metallic top cover, a super-fast octa-core MediaTek Kompanio 828 processor, and dual USB Type-C ports, this portable Chromebook provides a premium look and feel that you’ll be comfortable taking just about anywhere. This convertible AMD Ryzen™ Chromebook with military-grade durability and its 14” 100% sRGB touchscreen display1 gives you the performance to easily handle everyday tasks and more.

With the laptop set to 50% brightness and with Wi-Fi disabled, we unplug the fully charged laptop and run the video over and over until the battery runs out. Backlit keyboards3 not only look pretty but they also allow users to type comfortably in dimly lit environments.Battery life will vary and the maximum capacity of the battery will naturally decrease with time and usage.

As for the speakers, they go surprisingly loud at peak volumes, but that’s where the good news ends. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.Between its polished design and better-than-average Intel Core i3 processor, the Chromebook 514 promises to do well compared with other Chrome-based laptops, but it faces the stiffest competition from similarly outfitted models, like the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 Chromebook 13 (2021), which also uses a Core i3. Worry less about your device and focus on your work thanks to the Chromebook 514's metal chassis that blends a streamlined, stylish design with military-grade durability. Still, if you’re ready to splash out on a fancy Chromebook, it’s a well-made machine that won’t disappoint.

With the ability to withstand scratches and pits it will continue to look as slick as the day you bought it. Who would ever pay for a premium laptop that couldn’t even do half of what a cheaper Windows machine could do?

Speeds are below the levels of the 11th Gen Intel Core i3 Chromebooks we’ve tested recently but a big improvement on Celeron and Pentium N devices, thanks to the two-core, four-thread setup and 3. This Chromebook comes with a bevy of functional features including Wi-Fi 6, a built-in HDMI port, and dual USB Type-C ports with Thunderbolt™ 4 technology to deal with everyday challenges. The slick Chromebook 514 is one of the best there is, but that also makes the competition fierce—and while the Core i3-powered laptop delivers some great performance and battery life, it’s up against the likes of the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 Chromebook (2021) and the Editors' Choice winner Acer Chromebook Spin 713 (2022).

This convertible Chromebook features a metal chassis with a streamlined, reinforced design that delivers a stylishly modern look and independently verified MIL-STD 810H 2 military-grade durability.

Here, the Acer 514’s Intel Core i3 processor delivered some of the best scores we’ve seen, beating out the similarly equipped Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 and blowing past the less powerful Dell, Asus, and HP competitors by a mile. pound weight isn’t tip-over-and-spill-your-drink top-heavy like some designs we’ve seen, but it’s enough that it doesn’t feel as stable sitting on your lap or desk as you might expect from a 14-inch laptop. com is a leading authority on technology, delivering lab-based, independent reviews of the latest products and services.
