Introduction

The Chromebook Spin 13 from Acer is a convertible Chromebook that combines powerful performance, a stunning screen and a premium build


Powerful Performance

The Chromebook Spin 13 is equipped with an Intel Core i3 CPU and 8GB of RAM to ensure you get the very best performance – demanding tasks and intensive multi-tasking can be easily handled without any lag.
You also get 64GB of eMMC storage, so you have plenty of space to install the apps you need, with over 2 million available via the Google Play Store.

Battery life is another area in which the Chromebook Spin 13 offers impressive performance, lasting up to 10 hours on a single charge - enough to last through the entire day and well into the evening.


Stunning Screen

The Chromebook Spin 13’s 13.5” 3:2 Quad HD IPS display is truly a sight to behold, with every aspect of the viewing experience taken to the next level.

The 3:2 aspect ratio provides 18% more vertical viewing space compared to a conventional 16:9 screen, making it ideal for web browsing or documents.
Plus everything will be visible in pin-sharp detail courtesy of the 2256x1504 Quad HD resolution, while the IPS panel ensures you get sumptuous colours, along with wider viewing angles of up-to 178°.


Premium Build

The Chromebook Spin 13’s 100% aluminium chassis imbues it with a sleek, professional look as well as providing improved strength and a pleasant tactile sensation.
The lightweight aluminium body also aids in portability, measuring less than 17mm thick and weighing in at just 1.5kg, meaning it’s perfect for working on-the-go.

Thanks to the 360° hinge and full touchscreen, the Chromebook Spin 13 can be used in 4 different positions – laptop, tablet, display and tent. This allows you to find the best fit depending on the task at hand or to fit the Chromebook to your environment, such as limited table space on a train or plane.
You also have the option of using the included Wacom Stylus as well, for a natural pen-on-paper experience when writing, taking notes, sketching or doodling.


Excellent Reliability

As well as featuring Acer’s standard 12-month warranty, this model of Chromebook Spin 13 is also covered by the Acer Reliability Promise, which means that if the monitor suffers a warranty fault within the first 12 months, not only will it be repaired for you, you’ll be refunded 100% of the price paid as well.
