Pros and Cons

Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514

Strengths

It's one of the highest spec Chromebook Plus models I've shown on the channel.
It feels like the lid is aluminum with plastic for the rest of the chassis, but certainly feeling very rigid, very premium in the hand.
The rounded corners on all edges are really nice to handle.
The keyboard deck is nicely laid out and looking very similar again to that Spin 714.
The touch display is looking great on first impression. It's 14 in. It's coated in Gorilla Glass. And it's a WXGA resolution, so that's 1920 x 1200.
It covers 100% of the sRGB color space, so colors should look really accurate.

Weaknesses

The Chromebook Plus Spin 514 sits below the more premium Chromebook plus Spin 714.
The available specs and prices are not fully disclosed until later in the video.
It's not clear if it feels too heavy for what it is.
There's no mention of a pen option with this model, unlike the Spin 714.
Availability in the UK is looking a little low.
Some configurations have less storage (128 gig universal flash storage).
