Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 models will have AMD Radeon Vega Mobile Graphics, while any other models will have AMD Radeon Graphics.Įntry level memory and storage were not listed, but the Spin 514 will be sold with up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Acer's press materials only refer to the Ryzen 5 3500C and Ryzen 7 3700C options, not noting the entry-level Ryzen 3 3250C processor - though we wouldn't be surprised to see that as the chip in the $479 entry-level model. The Chromebook Spin 514 will run on different versions of the AMD Ryzen processors announced for Chromebooks this past September. There's also a microSD memory reader, and some models will have HDMI out.

Acer did not provide the Spin 514's full dimensions, but at 0.7 inches thick and 3.4 pounds, it's thicker and heavier than the just-announced Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 (0.6 inches, 2.7 pounds), which is a little more expensive at $549.Īnd since the Chromebook Spin 514 is a convertible, it can be used in laptop, tablet display and tent modes.Īs for ports, you get dual USB-C ports (which support USB 3.2 Gen 1 up to 5GBps, DisplayPort over USB-C and USB charging) and dual USB-A ports (USB 3.2, Gen 1).
