AI-Driven Performance Optimized for Creativity, Productivity

The new Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 (CP514-5HN) allows consumers to make the most of the latest ChromeOS features. Powered by MediaTek’s most advanced Chromebook processor to date, the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra processor with an integrated 50 TOPS of AI processing power, the new Chromebook Plus enables on-device generative AI experiences and supports real-time task automation, personalized computing, and secure, offline functionality.

The integrated Arm Immortalis-G925 MC11 GPU ensures compelling graphics performance, so creators stay focused on their editing, rendering, and modeling tasks. In addition, the Kompanio Ultra is incredibly efficient and provides up to 17 hours1 of battery life – more than a full day of work or school without needing a charger.

The new Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 makes the most of built-in Google AI features so that productivity feels natural, whether in searches, workflow integration, writing, or content creation. For example, Smart grouping lets customers organize tabs, documents, and apps by category to prevent having to search through files and websites, while Gallery Image Editing enables on-device AI image editing. A dedicated Quick Insert key provides one-touch access to tools, menus, and other applications, including custom AI image integration. Plus, customers can use Select to search with Lens simply by holding down the launcher to access the feature and quickly identify or get additional information about content in images and videos.

In addition, Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 customers can choose a complimentary 12-month subscription to the Google AI Pro plan, which unlocks higher access to Google’s most capable AI models and features in Gemini, Flow, NotebookLM, and more. Plus, AI Pro includes 2 TB of cloud storage space to use across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos.

Durable, Convertible and Ultraportable

The new Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 features a durable design that is military-grade MIL-STD 810H compliant, with an aluminum exterior to help the device withstand daily trials. It can handle drops as high as 122 cm (48 inches) and includes unique extras such as reinforced I/O ports that help stabilize it after repeated use. The convertible design with 360-degree hinges, which have been designed for up to 25,000 open/close cycles, allows the device to be used in four modes so customers can enjoy it in different environment as they move throughout their day; it can be used as a traditional laptop PC, tablet, or in display and tent modes.

Images are crisp and vibrant on the Acer Chromebook Plus’ 14-inch display, while productivity is maximized with touch capabilities and support for a USI 2.0 stylus (sold separately). Users can take advantage of intuitive gesture-based features for notetaking and editing, such as scribbling over words or phrases to delete them, circling text to reposition to a new location, drawing a line between words to add space, or boxing content to copy and paste seamlessly. These smart interactions make working with handwritten notes more fluid and natural. The Acer Chromebook Plus is compatible with any USI 2.0 stylus, giving users the freedom to select the stylus that best suits their needs.

Available with either WQXGA+ (2800×1800) or WUXGA (1920×1200) resolution, the touchscreen display is framed by narrow bezels resulting in an immersive 16:10 aspect ratio. Plus, both options have an anti-fingerprint coating that ensures smudge-free visuals, as well as a Corning Gorilla Glass finish that provides resistance to scratches and damage. The lightweight and sleek Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 weighs only 1.36 kg (2.99 lbs) and is a mere 15.5 mm thin (0.61 inches).
