The Celeron-powered Samsung was a backmarker. All are superb Google Workspace productivity partners. The Acer slugged it out with the Asus for benchmark supremacy, not surprising since they have the same CPU, while the Core i3 Lenovo Flex 5 did a fine job of keeping up with the Core i5 systems. You can see their basic specs in the table below. Testing the Spin 713: Leader-of-the-Pack Performanceīesides the Asus Chromebook CX9 and the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 Chromebook, we compared the 13.5-inch Acer's benchmark results with those of two 13.3-inch systems that combine deluxe displays-QLED for the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2, and OLED for the detachable Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook-with low-octane processors (an Intel Celeron and a Qualcomm Snapdragon, respectively). The Explore menu icon includes a variety of extras, led by one year of 100GB Google One cloud storage and YouTube Premium, SoundCloud Go+, Clipchamp, and DocuSign trial offers. The Spin 713 does come with software that some may equate with the unwanted bloatware common on Windows PCs, but others may find useful. As with all Chromebooks, a two-finger tap equals a right click. The square, buttonless touchpad is nicely sized and glides and taps smoothly, requiring a light pressure for a quiet click. The keyboard is brightly backlit and has a comfortably snappy, if shallow, typing feel. At 0.67 by 11.8 by 9.3 inches, it's deeper than the 13.3-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 Chromebook (0.67 by 12.2 by 8.4 inches), but at 3.2 pounds it misses the cutoff to qualify as an ultraportable-the 14-inch Asus Chromebook CX9, for one, is noticeably trimmer at 2.31 pounds. This year's Chromebook Spin 713 (model CP713-3W-5102) has the same Steel Gray aluminum chassis that's passed the same MIL-STD 810H tests for shock and vibration as its predecessor there's hardly any flex if you grasp the screen corners or press the keyboard deck. The newly refreshed Spin 713 is pricier at $699.99-that's $70 more than before, though it brings an 11th instead of 10th Generation Intel Core i5 CPU and a 256GB instead of 128GB solid-state drive-but it's still a charming convertible that easily earns an Editors' Choice award among premium Chromebooks. When we reviewed it in August 2020, the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 shot to the top of our Chromebook rankings for its peppy performance, plentiful ports, sleek and sturdy construction, and 13.5-inch touch screen with eye-pleasing 3:2 aspect ratio.
