And it’s not due out until the third quarter of the year. I won’t know the answers until I get my hands on the new Acer Chromebook Spin 514. How will this AMD Chromebook perform? How good is the webcam? Is the battery claim accurate or not? It’s hard to say if the $559.99 price is a good value or not because there are still too many unknowns. At least the stereo speakers aren’t bottom firing as you’ll find on several older Acer Chromebooks. However, the specs indicate there’s no microSD card slot, which may give more people some pause. I noticed that there’s no fingerprint sensor, which shouldn’t be a deal-breaker for most people. Webcam with privacy shutter, dual-array microphone, fingerprint sensor Ports 2 USB Type-C Gen 3.2 ports, 1 USB Type-A Gen 3.2 port,ġ HDMI, headphone/microphone combo jack Battery 3-cell battery with up to 10 hours expected runtime Weight 3.31 pounds Software ChromeOS automatic updates through June 2030Īside from the updated processor, this AMD Chromebook from Acer boasts fantastic color reproduction on the 14-inch touch display. Here’s what you get for $559.99: CPU 2 core (4 threads) AMD Ryzen 5125C (3.0 GHz) GPU AMD Radeon GPU with 3 cores and up to 2 GB of video memory Display 14-inch, 1920 x 1080 touchscreen, IPS,ġ00% sRGB color gamut support Memory 8 GB LPDDR4x memory Storage 128 GB flash memory, type not specified Connectivity 802.11ax (2×2) WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 Input Backlit keyboard, multi-touch trackpad Rounding out the other specifications, you see much of what the prior Acer Chromebook Spin 514 design and hardware offer. Since this particular chipset is so new, I haven’t found any benchmark results to offer a comparable Intel processor.
The two CPU cores of the 5125C use AMD’s Zen 3 architecture. And it should do well in the graphics department too as the 5152C leans on an improved, integrated AMD Radeon GPU. With an AMD Ryzen 3 5125C processor clocked at 3 GHz, this Acer Chromebook Spin 514 should easily outperform its predecessors.
No, the final four characters of the model name aren’t lost on this lifelong Star Wars fan. This new device is neither of these and has a model number of CP514-3H-R2D2. And there’s also a model with a MediaTek Kompanio 828 chipset. To be clear, there is an Acer Chromebook Spin 514 with an older AMD processor that launched in 2021. Acer’s new AMD Chromebook starts at $559.99. Now you can see the full specifications and pricing. Back in May, news of an upcoming, updated Acer Chromebook Spin 514 landed.
