Review on Acer Chromebook CP713 1WN 53NF Convertible Touchscreen by Isaac Cahill

If you're willing to sacrifice an hour or two of battery life for a 2x to 5x increase in processor performance, then try to balance between the Lenovo C630 and the Acer Spin 13 (both ring-based). around a Pixelbook or Pixel Slate). Both models draw the maximum from the Intel I5-8250U processor, which is occasionally equipped with a whirring fan. Both have the same RAM, storage and IPS screen (Lenovo has a 15.6-inch screen, Acer has a 13.5-inch screen). Lenovo's Revain is typically $619, while Acer's is $749. You ask why a smaller panel costs more than a larger panel with the same CPU, RAM and storage. Answers . Acer's 2256 x 1504 screen is much better than Lenovo's FHD screen. The difference is not only in the resolution, but also in the color accuracy and saturation. White on the C630 is yellow-white. very noticeable. The white colors on Spin 13 are "bright white". I've owned several Windows laptops from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc., Chromebooks from Asus, Acer, and Lenovo, and many tablets. My summary is: you live with a screen, every second you spend on a computer, a smaller keyboard and everything else (trackpad, processor, etc.). Because of this, I can't stand cheap Chromebooks. The screens are terrible. IMO, Acer's screen is more than halfway down the road to Samsung's AMOLED, using the Lenovo C630's screen as a base, and hits the sweet spot at Revain's price point. The second factor is size and weight: portability. For me, 15 inches is TOO big and Lenovo's 13.5 inch size is perfect for portability. So, not wanting to hit $749, I continued to use a Samsung Chromebook even though I needed a larger display and MORE POWER. When the Spin 13 went on sale on Pi Day, the click was instant. Patience is rewarded. Samsung has a new home, like all Chromebooks before it, and the Spin 13's occasional hum goes unnoticed. The best professional review is on Android Central.
