Chromebook Spin 513 Convertible Laptop | Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c | 13.3" FHD IPS Touch Corning Gorilla Glass Display | 4GB LPDDR4X | 64GB eMMC | WiFi 5 | Backlit KB | Chrome OS | R841T-S4ZG, Gray

I cherish the look and feel, of high end electronices... and also this. The minimal tolerances of its crafted stainless steel shell departs a feel of quality and substance The smoothness in articulating the HD display from screen,180°, to tablet mode is smooth like butter. Even down to the backlit keyboard, the pressure and depth needed until activation is rewarding. Overall the outward appearance, keyboard, and satisfaction Ive found via user interface, makes this the best feeling and looking sub $1000 laptop I've worked with! Sorry to say, the power button brings the cops to the kegger. Having finite resources, it's evident where the money went, thus leaving it's performance swimming mid pack in a pool of 3,296 laptops, vying for shares of the sub $500 market. Nothing too exciting, you can see the numbers. Competent enough to tackle most computing tasks, having no problem running multiple windows, sliding back and forth with ease, etc. However, with google's recent announcement of extending critical updates, this laptop will be performaning years after planned obsolescence leaves Macbook or Window laptops, of any price,.in oveburdoned landfills. With so many positives right of the bell curve, I am left with the understanding, this is far and away the best buy in this segment.

I think this is the first review I have ever done lol So I bought this laptop after my Levono Yoga C90 finally went out. Going from a state of the art Laptop at the time (2018) and with an overall price tag of $1400.00, I could not see myself going back to anything else. (It had a dolby atmos soundbar built in lol) It had everything and more than I needed. And when I decided to buy something I could take on the go and do my day to day. I came about this laptop on Amazon. I needed something that would able to do what I mostly do on my laptop. Word processing and watching YouTube and the other streaming services I cant live without lol and check into other social media if I felt like it. I spent two days doing research, and looking at YouTube videos and reviews of this laptop. When I finally got it home, I was surprised how thin and light it was. I am a musician and I was surprised how clear and how loud the sound would get. Screen was very clear and bright. The one thing I had to get used to, is the operating system. I have used Windows for 30 plus years. I was surprised how easy it was to learn Chrome OS. There are MANY features I miss from Windows. But for what I need it to do its holding up . Overall for this price I am happy. NOTE: I have seen some reviewers say there is not a back lit keyboard. THERE IS ONE. I would NOT of bought this laptop if there was not one. Thats the first thing I look for. This laptop is like an electric hybrid, light simple to use and will get the job done. IF you are looking for a juiced up race car with all the bells and whistles, then this is not the right laptop for you. But if you wannt something affordable and does all the above, then this might be for you

There are 3 models of this Chromebook the 1h, 2h, and one that could be used with a sim card. The 1h the first model the one I bought has a 1080 screen with gorilla glass which is awesome It comes with a free bag The build of the Chromebook is awesome Plenty fast, the fact that you can use this in different positions for viewing is awesome. The speakers are good for this Chromebook, but could be better. I've read that the brightness is 300 nits, I have compared this screen to other 250nits or 300nits displays if this really is a 300nit display? and I have to say that the colors and brightness of this screen is better thanks to the ips gorilla glass. But in the sun there is a glare, use this in the shade. The 2h model from what I have read has a 2k screen resolution , which is the one I really wanted, but also keep in mind that the 2h model is $300 more dollars then the 1h. I really recommend this 1h version, the battery charges very fast, I did a battery test for watching movies and tv on this and it lasted 6 hours and 30 minutes for video non stop, after 20 more minutes I had to charge it. So in closing, fast charging, gorilla glass ips screen 1080p, long lasting battery, good enough speakers, awesome design, it flips to use in many positions, and it's fast when browsing the web, I really like this Chromebook, and the price is good for all that your getting.

This item is falsely advertised. The description is for the 2nd model, 2H. However, twice I was sent the original model, 1H. This DOES NOT have a backlit keyboard. I wasted time troubleshooting and was argued with stating that the item I got was correct and just not working properly. That is entirely untrue and Acer can verify it. The laptop itself is lightweight which is great, but its a bit laggy. Between the keyboard missing lights and the so-so performance, I can't recommend this item at all.

Item was as described.

Its working fine since I bought it a year or do ago

The Acer Chromebook Spin 513 is probably my eighth Chromebook. I have had it for about 2.5 months and feel I can make a fair review. I'll start with the PROS 1) it has hinges so it can be bent all the way back. I really love this feature and always look for it. 2) It will receive updates until 2031 which is probably long after the natural lifespan of this Chromebook but it matters. You should always check how long your model will receive updates for before you purchase it. This is especially true if it seems like a "deal". 3) it has plenty of storage. 4) Cost. This Chromebook was one of the least expensive models available at the time of my purchase that also had the features I was looking for. Now for the CONS: There are two significant issues I have found with this model 1) it has extremely modest battery life. Usually, a new Chromebook will last 10 hours and that will slowly decrease over time. From the first day, this Chromebook has never given me more than 5 hours before needing to be completely recharged. 2) The cursor frequently disappears and it will only reappear after a "hard reset". This is done by powering down the Chromebook and then simultaneously pressing the Power and Refresh buttons as it powers back on. I have never had another Chromebook that required so much resetting after only 2 months. So there you have it. Good luck!

used velvetos to install debian 13 works great
