I’m a sucker for a great keyboard, and if a laptop or accessory includes a shoddy keyboard, it’s likely to end up relegated to my pile of misfit electronics. I’m going to just come out and say this now. In fact, there’s really not much clearance between the edges of the port and the keyboard deck itself. It’s not often that you see a full-sized HDMI port on a laptop anymore, especially one that’s as slim as this one. Moving to the right side, and we have a security lock slot at the top (again great for students and travelers), another USB-C 3.2 port, a volume rocker for when you put this in tablet mode, and an HDMI port.

Oh, and there’s a power button with an LED indicator to let you know when the Spin 514 has been fully recharged and you aren’t actively using it. On the left side, you’ll find a USB-C 3.2 port for power, a standard USB-A 3.2 port, a headphone jack, and even a microSD card slot that will likely come in handy. When it comes to connectivity, the Chromebook Spin 514 doesn’t disappoint, as you’ll find just about everything you could think of here. That’s quite impressive and makes this a great pick if you travel a lot or maybe for that student who tends to be rough on their electronics.

Acer states that the Chromebook Spin 514 has passed the MIL-810H testing to prevent shocks, vibrations, and extreme temperatures in the environment.
