The model on sale at Best Buy is the CP514-3H, which is similar in design to the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 CP514-1H that we reviewed in early 2022, but it's had some important internal upgrades. Released in late 2022, this latest version of the Chromebook Spin 514 is the first to use AMD's eight-core Ryzen 5000 C-series processor for Chromebooks for improved multitasking performance. It's the base-spec variant of this Chromebook on sale at Best Buy today, so it features the AMD Ryzen 3 5125C processor and offers up to 10 hours of battery life. It's also equipped with 8GB of RAM, AMD Radeon graphics and 128GB of internal storage. 

Other features include a 1080p HD display, Wi-Fi 6 support, two USB-C ports and Chrome OS updates through June 2030, making it a solid choice for around $300.
