The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 just reminded me what I love about Chromebooks. As someone who is deep into the Google ecosystem in my work and personal life, as well as owning an Android phone (e.g., Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra), it’s so much more convenient for me as opposed to the M2 MacBook Air that I use.
At setup, I was asked to log in with my Google credentials, and it didn’t leave me floundering. (No offense to Microsoft, but since I don’t use the likes of OneDrive, Teams, nor other Microsoft properties often, I can never remember my Microsoft credentials, making setting up Windows laptops a pain.)
With an attractive sub-$500 starting price tag, for a split second, I wondered whether I’d be better off with a Chromebook — but one dealbreaker slapped me right back into reality. Still, I’d argue it’s one of the best Chromebooks you can buy.
