Our Verdict

Acer Chromebook Spin 714 (2022)

Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 (2024)

The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 (2024) is a newer generation of the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 (2022). Both are great laptops for general productivity tasks, but the newer model comes with a few improvements and is the better device overall. It features Intel's new Meteor Lake CPUs with an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) that accelerates AI-based tasks. It also has a brighter display and a much better webcam. However, there is one drawback. The newer model no longer comes with a stylus, and there's no pen garage to store the stylus during transport.
