I've been using the Snapdragon 7c generation of the 513 as a daily driver and it's been fine, but this is making me jealous. Loving that 3:2 form factor.
Finally got my hands one of these. It was hard to find in stock. Glad I finally did. This one is a winner. Love the fanless ARM chip. Makes the device much quieter.
This is the chromebook I've been waiting for! I've been on a similar design Lenovo 2in1 with a Mediatek MT8183 that's pretty slow but I like this little 2in1, the Kompanio 1380 is a huge upgrade!
Yeah, I don't like screens that flop around for an unnecessary "worn out feel" when it's brand new. I want it to stay put and would never complain if I had to either use both hands or support the bottom part with another finger when opening.
Am really looking forward to your full review - as the AUE on my trusty old Acer expires next month. Any chance of comparing and contrasting the new 513 with Lenovo’s imminent new Flex 5 ? - as that is the other option I am looking at. Many thanks
I totally understand now why Acer was clearancing the old 2021 version of the Acer Spin 513. From what I've gathered, the new one has: a much stronger CPU, backlit keyboard, darker better titanium color (the 2021 Acer Spin looks and feels so cheap), 3:2 instead of 16:9, higher resolution and brightness, and better sound apparently - "Equipped with DTS® Audio, this Chromebook allows you to enjoy higher quality audio, distortion-free sounds, and deeper bass from the dual speakers." The interesting part is the price hike - a price increase is definitely understandable since it's such an upgrade, but $615.99 MSRP buts it in the higher-end. I remember the 2021 version launched at $399 and basically immediately went to $349 sale price. I just bought a refurb Acer Spin 513 off eBay for $180 and love it, but those upgrades do make me jealous lol. I still don't know why mine didn't have a backlit keyboard, apparently the review models of the 2021 version did sometimes have backlighting. Great device though, I love it, even though it's got that blueish tint like you mentioned.
Looks really nice might have to get one of these, I guess I'm the odd one... I control Chromebook labs and circulating chromebooks at two different public libraries, own two personal chromebooks and my son uses a chromebook and not once have I ever thought about opening a chromebook with one finger.
I concur with Chris about the fan noise on the 11th gen 713. It is atrocious and frankly unacceptable. I'm surprised Chrome Unboxed hasn't run a piece on it by now as it effected multiple 11th gen chromebooks. Fan less is definitely the way to go. Fan less and 3:2 screen even better!
Honestly, I think we are seeing the rise of Chromebooks as a mainstream laptop, next to any Windows or MacBook Pro out there. The OS system will only get better and better through time, and the simplicity and affordability are definite weapons against Windows or Macs.
Interestingly the new version of the Acer 317 with 8gb ram and a fanless N6000 processor hits a similar score of 35,000 on octane. And comes with solid build, backlit keyboard, touchscreen and an excellent keyboard. Would love to see a Chrome Unboxed review of this one. Some might overlook it because of its entry level numerical status but I think its worth investigating.
A question re Arm processor Chromebooks, can they play most Google playstore games? Such as Call of Duty etc? I have a Lenovo Core 10th gen i5 Chromebook and I cannot play most games.
What is the model number for this device. "The Spin 513 with the Kompanio processor" is not very unique, I'm looking for a model number in the format CPxxx-xHT-xxxx......?
I'm on 400+ Battery Cycles on my Pixelbook Go and I somehow broke the webcam on it so no zoom calls on my PBG, So this new Acer Chromebook Spin 513 might be the upgrade I was waiting for. I was tempted to get the Spin 713 i5-11th gen last year but I heard of users reporting issues of the fan being loud and randomly spinning on while doing basic/light tasks. I got too used to fanless laptops/chromebooks that I don't see myself going back to a chromebook with a fan even if its the most powerful laptop on the market.
That is a very respectable Octane rating. Did you happen to run a Speedometer 2.0 on it as well. I would imagine that would be rather impressive as well.
"One finger lift, I love that" and 5:23 the screen annoyingly shakes around when you merely gesture with your hands a bit. Imagine having that on your lap in a moving vehicle: it either closes on you or you have to support it from the back. It doesn't have to feel "worn out, about to give up hinge" like that out of the box! A stiffer hinge for me for sure.
i have an acer r13. ARM processor) and it stuttered with video until i turned off some video acceleration. but i want this (513), or the pixelbook go ($649 w/m3) or the lenovo 3i 15.6 ($439 300 nits) or the lenovo c13 ($249 300 nits). help! i also have acer 15.6 (white plastic, but i love the screen) toshiba chromebooks 1 and 2, HP G1. All of the batteries max at 1.5 hours.
Thinking about buying the 64 GB/FHD/Snapdragon Spin 513. I'll use it mostly as a machine for office/school work. Should I do it? Portability and battery life seems like a big plus, but how durable are they really?
What got me into Chrome Books was that they were inexpensive, and if stolen, all the info was in the Cloud, and so you were only out a few hundred bucks without losing critical information. Coming in at $615, you're approaching $1K! That may mean not being able to toss it in baggage anymore. Maybe I'll get this one AND a "kiddie" HP, too, the HP for travel, and the Acer for around the house and area events. AUE on my Samsung expires at end of June, so need to upgrade anyway, but gosh, I was hoping this might be in the $300-$400 range!

@@bp6877 The other one has a backlit keyboard too and is flexible. They are both quite similar devices. Just this one has a better screen for sure. Otherwise the rest of the specs are kinda similar which makes this model not really worth it for the price.

Honestly, I don't think so. As far as I know only the most lite tech users find Chrome OS sufficient. Anyone a little more serious or actual professional applications all still prefer windows. The only thing MS worries about is probably Linux🤔 Also, similarly speced Chrome OS and windows machines cost about the same and windows has more features. So unless a person absolutely only needs what Chrome OS can do, I don't think said person would choose Chrome over windows 🤔

Click here -> 07:45 where he finally logs into the chrome book. Over 7 minutes in and the what I have learned so far is that the colour of the chromebook is nice.
The Acer Chromebook 514 has the same CPU, upward firing speakers and a 1080p screen instead. So I think some of the specs are being confused between the two machines.

I'd like to suggest that you do a round up review video of 15" screen with number pads chromebooks. I'm learning to be a Quickbooks bookkeeper and need the large screen and number pad for spreadsheets and entry. I'm guessing that there others that need the same for different applications. It's hard to find great chromebooks that fit those specs. Thanks.
Hard to beat my current Snapdragon 513 that cost me $150 (refurb). A faster version is nice but for $650 I'd rather spend a bit more and just get a Macbook Air.
Very nice Chromebook indeed, I hope they bring this here to Australia, one question here is how come Chromebook don't seem to have a Caps Lock key like what Windows or Mac laptops do. I actually installed Chrome Flex on one of my old HP Spectre Envy Windows 7 laptop not that long ago, works absolutely beautifully
Olá, você tem um público aqui no Brasil que acompanha todas as suas "revisões". Gostaria de pedir, se possível, que amplie seu campo de influência para esse público com traduções no áudio ou mesmo na legenda. Seu trabalho é ótimo, entusiasmado e dedicado. Independente disso, vou continuar como seguidor, pois suas dicas são valiosas.

EMMC storage!?!? Even budget phones have UFS 2.1 - Dimensity 700 and Snapdragon 730G both support UFS 2.1. Chromebooks nickel and dime you in the dumbest ways...
What is the issue with EMMC storage? Its standard across all chromebooks I believe, but haven't really experienced any downsides to it. I am honestly courious! :)
@@gKaasboer Ignoring UFS 3, there's very little in the price difference of eMMC 5.1 storage (which is the newest version of eMMC) and UFS 2.1 but UFS 2.1 is typically 4x faster read speeds and 2x faster write speeds and random IOPs are substantial better - I think the random IOPs of eMMC is 2K/1K reads/writes, where as UFS 2.1 is something like 40K/25K reads/writes. Also UFS is full-duplex, meaning it can transmit and receive data simulataneously, where as eMMC is half duplex and can only do one or the other. This has a significant and noticable impact on multitasking. eMMC is ancient tech that should have been killed off by now (first used in 1997)...
Chromebook manufacturers do make dumb decisions, you are right. Like Samsung with Galaxy Go Chromebook. It cellular has connection, respectable battery life and performance. The cellular model goes for $400. Everything looks good until you open the lid and realize Samsung is stuck in 90s. Who puts 720p displays with TN panel on laptops for $400? Mind blowing, I am simply speechless
I got a Pixelbook Go for my wife last year. It has an 128GB SSD, and is so fast. I'm actually jealous... I need to ditch my crusty old Windows laptop and install Linux on a decent Chromebook.
Technically, the M1 MacBook Air is the most powerful ARM Chromebook as it supports Chrome and all the features that come with it in addition to a whole other powerful OS, and can be found used for under $800.
lol you are technically right. I needed more flexibility (in terms of software) so i moved from my Chromebook to the M1 MacBook Air. I basically downloaded chrome and installed all the google apps as either PWA or standalone windows in the dock. After syncing google drive into the file system I was pretty much back in a gear. That being said though, if linux app compatibility got a lot better I would go back to Chrome OS.
Disappointing Octane; The 11th Gen Pentium (7505U in devices $419 and under without any discounts) performs in the 45,000 range. This better have over 11.5 hours REAL use at 75% brightness, great standby battery and output 4K60Hz maximum per USB-C, and dual 2560 x1440 at 60Hz if you run two extended displays alongside the internal display to be worth the $600 price tag, especially since it's also NON-SERVICE eMMc.
Just got a 513 7c Gen1 for 170, Arrived today Its a very good machine for all the features included and the sw is still supported till 2029
It seems like this can be my next Kompanion years to come. Love absolutely everything about it so far!

Also UFS is full-duplex, meaning it can transmit and receive data simulataneously, where as eMMC is half duplex and can only do one or the other. This has a significant and noticable impact on multitasking.
eMMC is ancient tech that should have been killed off by now (first used in 1997)...
Chromebook manufacturers do make dumb decisions, you are right. Like Samsung with Galaxy Go Chromebook. It cellular has connection, respectable battery life and performance. The cellular model goes for $400. Everything looks good until you open the lid and realize Samsung is stuck in 90s. Who puts 720p displays with TN panel on laptops for $400? Mind blowing, I am simply speechless
I got a Pixelbook Go for my wife last year. It has an 128GB SSD, and is so fast. I'm actually jealous... I need to ditch my crusty old Windows laptop and install Linux on a decent Chromebook.

Better Octane score than a 2019 Intel Macbook Air
Too expensive 😣
Technically, the M1 MacBook Air is the most powerful ARM Chromebook as it supports Chrome and all the features that come with it in addition to a whole other powerful OS, and can be found used for under $800.
It isn't running ChromeOS tho so is it really consider as Chromebook?
@@yxles Chrome OS is literally just the Chrome browser.
@Andrew J Why not?
lol you are technically right. I needed more flexibility (in terms of software) so i moved from my Chromebook to the M1 MacBook Air. I basically downloaded chrome and installed all the google apps as either PWA or standalone windows in the dock. After syncing google drive into the file system I was pretty much back in a gear. That being said though, if linux app compatibility got a lot better I would go back to Chrome OS.
@@ricardosmith2060 You could virtualize Linux on Apple Silicon using Parallels.
Speaks are GARBAGE. Who approved that? yikes.
The 713 is terrible as well

Stop referencing previous videos. Do you understand how UA-cam works?
Chrome os are boring, lack of features and nothing to do
Disappointing Octane; The 11th Gen Pentium (7505U in devices $419 and under without any discounts) performs in the 45,000 range. This better have over 11.5 hours REAL use at 75% brightness, great standby battery and output 4K60Hz maximum per USB-C, and dual 2560 x1440 at 60Hz if you run two extended displays alongside the internal display to be worth the $600 price tag, especially since it's also NON-SERVICE eMMc.
