Acer Chromebook Spin 713 Review
Acer Chromebook Spin 713 bears the same “Engineered for Mobile Performance” label as other laptops that fulfil Intel’s cutting-edge “Project Athena” standard for advantages like quick wake and long battery life. Aside from those significant mandates, this Spin model has two further advantages as a Windows 2-in-1 replacement. First and foremost, at $505 at Best Buy, it’s a steal—in fact, it’s less expensive than some rival convertible Chromebooks. (As tested, the HP Chromebook x360 14 G1 and Asus Chromebook Flip C436 cost around $800.)
Furthermore, like the previously evaluated Acer Swift 3, its 13.5-inch display features a symmetrical 3:2 aspect ratio rather than the more common 16:9, providing you a taller perspective for text and web scrolling. A 3:2 ratio in a touch-screen convertible is uncommon, making the Spin 713 an enticing option—in fact, our new Editors’ Choice among premium Chromebooks, the majority of which cost more.
