ACER CHROMEBOOK SPIN 514

The benefits of Chromebooks are now well established: these lightweight laptops are essentially windows onto the web, so you never need to worry about keeping your stuff backed up. Sign in with a Google account, and you're instantly up and running. With the Spin 514, Acer builds on that foundation rather well, with a 360-degree hinge on the screen that means you can fold it right over and use the device as a makeshift tablet. Fold it half the way back and you can prop it up in tent mode handy for watching videos or making video calls. It's an eminently flexible and versatile piece of hardware, available at a very reasonable price.
