To start thinking about detachable devices with Chrome OS on board and Lenovo really needs to continue pushing this category forward next on the list is the companion 828 powered Acer Chromebook 514 this Chromebook really surprised me during my review period on a spec sheet it doesn't do too much to stand out but this Chromebook proves the fact that you you cannot judge a book by its cover in the Acer Chromebook 514 is far better to use than its specs would indicate the capanio 828 inside is surprisingly capable and ridiculously long on battery life and combined with a great keyboard and a stellar trackpad this Chromebook was my weekend warrior long after my review period was up simply because I enjoyed using it moving on we have the Lenovo Chromebook duet 5.



And this is a device that I come back to over and over again we had the opportunity to give a bunch of them away this time last year and I couldn't have been more excited for this device to be what we were handing out to people it just gets so much right about both the tablet Chromebook experience and the clamshell Chromebook experience all in one device it's crazy thin yet large enough to be on a lap or table to get real work done too and again in the tablet space no one is even close to Lenovo at this point the duet 5 has an OLED screen insane battery life and enough performance to easily get you through a full day's use and this is one the device I'd love to see Lenovo refresh with a slightly faster arm processor inside but the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 you can get right now is still plenty capable and at the end of the day this device is just fun to use next up we have the Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5i the release of this Chromebook was a quiet one but like the duet 3.



I mentione before this Chromebook is a refinement of the original well-received version it's not quite as much changed with thi one as we saw with the duet 3 but the upgrades are worthwhile the new navy blue color is really slick looking the keyboard and trackpad are a bit more considered and enjoyable to use in this newer version and the upgraded 11th gen Intel internals paired with 8 gigs of RAM and an IPS screen and a convertible form factor make the flex 5i a constantly great deal when it continually goes on sale in a similar vein our next Chromebook on the list the HP Chromebook X360 14c is a device HP has simply honed over the years while I've fully expect another iteration of this Chromebook eventually with 12th gen processors inside the currently available version comes packing a ton of features that you don't normally see in this price range it's consistently like 200, 300 off putting it in the lower to mid range of Chromebook prices yet it has the build quality the keyboard the glass trackpad fingerprint scanner and internal specs of a much more expensive device my only real gripe with this Chromebook is the 215 inch screen but at the prices you can find this laptop reduced to it's a minor gripe and I think there are tons of users out there that would still very much love the X360 14c next up is the Acer Chromebook Vero 514 and this device is on this list for a myriad of reasons and perhaps surprisingly the wildly different Aesthetics and attention to eco-friendly materials aren't actually the main reasons sure the Vero 514 looks unlike any other Chromebook or laptop for that matter that you can buy right now but the look.



The feel of the materials I'll quickly take a back seat the moment you start using this device it's sturdy it has a fantastic touch-enabled anti-glare display a solid keyboard and trackpad a fingerprint scanner a great webcam and Speedy 12th gen Intel Core i5 internals all put together the Vero 514 stands out in nearly every respect and with its frankly shocking 599 dollar price tag, there's little reason not to buy this Chromebook right now if you aren't looking for a convertible it's just fantastic and we now come to one of my absolute favorites of the year the Acer Chromebook spin 513. I could easily Crown this as my favorite all-around Chromebook of 2022 for a host of reasons it keeps the 13.5 inch 3x2 display from the more expensive spin 713 it has an arm processor in the media Tech companion 1380 that finally delivers Intel rivaling performance in an arm chip it is mostly aluminum it's thin it's light it has killer battery life it simply gets so much of the Chromebook experience right that it's tough to beat the 600 MSRP is fair for all of this goodness that you get but if it went on sale a little bit more often I'd say it's the perfect mesh of price performance and overall functionality but even at 600 asking price I'd still tell you to go get it it's just a perfect example of what is possible in a Chromebook in 2022.


Next on the list the Acer Chromebook 516 GE showed up and shocked me I was expecting it to be just okay but as I said in our review the gaming upgrades Acer made to allow this Chromebook to be better for services like GeForce now I only ended up making this Chromebook better in every single way the lack of touch input on the screen might turn some of you off but the RGB keyboard the trackpad the built quality the upward facing speakers the relative lightness for a 16 inch Chromebook the performance and the 120-hertz screen all come together to make this Chromebook that I just keep coming back to at 649 MSRP this thing is worth every single penny if it ever does.
