James Lin, General Manager, Notebooks, Acer Inc., said, “We are excited to introduce our first Chromebook with the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra processor, unlocking a new level of AI-powered capabilities that streamline multitasking, content creation, and productivity on an Acer Chromebook. With its powerful performance, AI tools, and robust and premium build, the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 will empower creators, employees, and teachers to create, work, and be productive from anywhere.”
PD Rajput, Associate Vice President, Client Computing and Displays at MediaTek, added, “Leveraging our longstanding collaborative partnership, we have worked closely with Acer and Google to ensure that Chromebook Plus Spin 514 comes with the most advanced on-device AI capabilities currently possible on ChromeOS. These experiences, along with the power of the new energy-efficient MediaTek Kompanio Ultra flagship chipset, provide hours upon hours of productivity, gameplay, streaming, and more.”
AI-Powered Chromebook Performance
The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 (CP514-5HN) delivers advanced ChromeOS features supported by the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra processor. With 50 TOPS of AI processing power, it enables on-device generative AI, real-time automation, and secure offline functionality. The Arm Immortalis-G925 MC11 GPU provides strong graphics for editing, rendering, and modeling tasks.
Battery performance reaches up to 17 hours, giving users the flexibility to work or study all day without recharging. The Chromebook integrates Google AI features such as Smart Grouping to organize tabs and documents, Gallery Image Editing for on-device image adjustments, and a Quick Insert key for fast AI tool access. Lens integration allows quick content recognition in images and videos.
Each purchase includes a complimentary 12-month Google AI Pro plan with access to advanced AI models in Gemini, Flow, and NotebookLM, along with 2 TB of cloud storage.
Durable and Flexible Convertible Design
The Chromebook Plus Spin 514 meets MIL-STD 810H durability standards. Its aluminum chassis resists drops from up to 122 cm and reinforced I/O ports ensure long-lasting use. The 360-degree hinges support four modes, allowing the device to switch between laptop, tablet, display, and tent modes.
The 14-inch display is available in WQXGA+ (2800×1800) or WUXGA (1920×1200) resolutions. Both options feature an anti-fingerprint coating and Corning Gorilla Glass for added protection. With a weight of 1.36 kg and a thickness of 15.5 mm, the device is portable for work or school.
Stylus support for USI 2.0 pens enables gesture-based editing like scribbling to delete or circling text to reposition. These interactions enhance notetaking and editing.
Enhanced Connectivity and Entertainment
The Chromebook Plus Spin 514 features a 5MP or 1080p webcam with AI-driven enhancements for video calls, including noise cancellation and background blur. A built-in shutter and mute button improve privacy. Dual speakers with DTS Audio enhance sound for meetings and entertainment.
Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and dual USB Type-C ports. An OceanGlass touchpad, made from recycled ocean-bound plastic, provides durability and smooth navigation. An optional backlit keyboard ensures usability in all lighting conditions.
