Acer’s new Spin 714 could be 2022’s best Chromebook

New name, new look. I've reviewed quite a few Chromebooks in the past few years, but the one that has consistently topped the competition is the Acer Chromebook Spin 713. Not only is it fast with good battery life but it also sports one of the best screens and port selections you can find in the Chromebook category. But there is one complaint I've had about multiple Spin 713 models: they're just kind of ugly.
The Spin 714, the company's newest premium Chromebook certified through the Intel Evo platform, looks like a similar package to the 713 in many ways. It has up to a top-notch Core i7-1260P, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. There's an option for a high-resolution 2560 x 1600 display covering a claimed 100 percent of the sRGB color gamut.
