Both USB-C ports allow for a USB-C to HMDI adapter for a display output. The integrated graphics on the Intel chip will allow for smooth play on a 27" 1080p panel.
Considering the fact that Argos have this for sale at £169 (with free headphones) and it's been upgraded to a full HD screen (1920 x 1080) and Pentium processor (an Intel N5030 quad core) PLUS Chrome Book are even doing a cash back incentive (probably about £35 back to the buyer) and the automatic updates are running till 2027 (so that's guaranteed for 5 years to be non obsolescent) , this seems to be a genuinely GREAT deal at the moment. Definitely a best buy in my book ! Thanks for the informative video review though buddy....🙂
I just got the Acer 314 Spin 8gb ram 128gb storage 6000 intel celeron processor. Mine turns into a tablet. Im enjoying my 314 chromebook spin. I paid $300 for the chromebook from Amazon when it was on sale. I also ended up getting an external keyboard and mouse as well.
Decent review, I skipped around. I was wondering more about the usability rather than hardware. Since this is a budget version, I was interested in the UI and OS for laptop-lite tasks. Cheers!
I've had a 314 for 5 years but it is beginning to fail: dodgy keys and a broken hinge. So I have to replace it. What am I buying? Same again of course.
This is my first ever chromebook, and I am happy with it, bought it brand new off e-bay, bought it because my current laptop, a Dell with the works(touchscreen,backlit keypad, cd/dvd drive,} and also from e-bay, bought it refurbished, everything was fine until Windows 11 rears it very ugly head with E D G E, I hate it,hate it,hate it, tried all the tutorials on UA-cam, it slows my laptop down so bad, makes me ill.
I bought this today at Best Buy for $149 because my ASUS Chromebook 423 is getting wonky. I hate the screen because everything is so dull looking and washed out. Everything else is great, it's just a really sucky screen. It also has touchscreen, but I find I don't care to use it and prefer the trackpad. I'm going to keep it though and use as a back up since it was so cheap but will buy another ASUS 423 again as my main laptop because I love the screen so much on that one because it's not washed out and colors are pure. If this had that screen, it would have been perfect.
Surprised at comments about the screen when it is supposed to have UHD graphics card and FHD resolution. Like yourself I have an ASUS Chromebook that has served me well for years but wanted something with FHD capable like a Lenovo.
Does this run roblox well if u know? I’m looking for something to play roblox on but I want it to be able to handle the game have good graphics and not lag.
Nope. The only version of Office you can use on a Chromebook would be the rather light free online version. If you want to work offline you’d have to rely on Google Docs and Google Sheets. If you need absolute Microsoft Office compatibility you could activate Linux and install LibreOffice or OpenOffice but their might be some issues esp. to install dictionaries and to print documents.
Mate just a small bit of constructive criticism...please please stop swallowing mid sentence! It's extremely annoying. Sorry about that. Decent short review anyway.👍🏼

Informative & well presented review, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Can I use Microsoft office on this? Sorry, I'm stuck in the dark ages.

You can present on it just hook it up to a smart TV with bluetooth
I thought this had a backlit keyboard.;mine does not.
Does this computer have a 360 hinge?
Nope. For that, you’d have to go for a « Spin » Acer Chromebook.
Nice presentation sir.
is it touchscreen
