Even indoors, if you dim the brightness you’ll be staring back at yourself most of the day, and if you use the touchscreen, keep a microfiber handy. But you won’t be working outdoors with one of these.
Everything looks sharp, colors look great and it gets plenty bright enough. At 13.3-inches and with a 1080p resolution, it’s a perfect size for both working on and consuming media and games. One of the benefits of the Acer Chromebook Spin 513 is that it has a fully convertible display. It’s one of the best trackpads you’ll find on any laptop in this price range and is especially useful if you like to use gesture controls. It’s covered in Gorilla Glass, so the surface is completely smooth and it’s very responsive with a strong clicking action. It feels firm and clicky, and is paired with an excellent trackpad. Despite fairly shallow key travel, the lack of any real flex in the base of the laptop means it’s really nice to type on. The keyboard is a standard Chromebook affair. Power is delivered over USB-C, so you do lose one if you’re charging, but equally, you can charge from both sides. You don’t get a lot, but there are two USB-C, one USB-A, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. This allows the sides to be thick enough at the back to accommodate ports. The sides of the laptop taper to their thinnest point at the front, thanks to a cleverly curved bottom panel.
It looks like one of Acer’s mid-tier Ultrabooks, with a slim chassis mated to a convertible, 13-inch Full HD touch display with skinny side bezels. It’s mostly plastic with a metallic lid, but it doesn’t look like plastic. The Chromebook Spin 513 is priced at just £399/$399/AU$560 and you get plenty for it. The Acer Chromebook Spin 513 doesn’t do anything radical with its design, but for a sub-$500 laptop it’s very well done.
