Out of the four chipsets, the new Acer Chromebook Spin 514 uses base Ryzen chip. These chipsets were said to use AMD’s Zen 3 chip architecture. In this case, I’m making an exception though.Īcer announced this device back in May, saying there were four AMD processors in upcoming Chromebooks. Typically, I try not to pass judgment on devices that I haven’t personally tested. I’d probably pass on this new AMD Ryzen Chromebook at $549.

It’s new and shiny, so you should get it, right? I’m not so sure. And like clockwork, this ChromeOS laptop with a AMD Ryzen CPU showed up at Best Buy for the same price. Earlier this week, I reported that the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 appeared on Acer’s site for purchase.
