Specs

Processor: Intel Core i3

Memory: 4GB RAM

Storage: 32GB

Display: 13.5in display

Other Features: Weighs 1.5kg, has 3 USB-C ports

Benefits

  • One of the best features of the Spin 13 is that the screen is exceptionally clear and gives a very crisp feature. It has a 3:2 ratio allowing for good visibility from a host of different angles regardless if it is being used for business, gaming or watching movies.
  • The Chromebook Spin is another device that is good to take with you whilst going to and from work. It can last for over 10 hours before it needs to be charged again and its small screen makes it easy to store inside a bag or briefcase
  • For a small laptop, the Spin 13 is easy to use and has quick response times. The keyboard is well laid out and easy to use whilst the trackpad offers precise movements as does the touchscreen features when either used with a stylus or your fingertip.

Downsides

  • With just 32GB of storage and 4GB of memory, it certainly is not the most powerful device you could opt for. Anyone looking to use this for gaming will likely suffer some lag time as would anyone looking to store excessive amounts of media such as large film or music collections.
  • Weighing it at 1.5kg, it is certainly one of the heavier small laptops available today. This may prove a hindrance when looking to travel in a hurry or if you would want to use it in an environment where weight limits come to attention such as on a plane.

Verdict

It may sit at the lower end of the spectrum in terms of power and features but the Chromebook Spin 13 is easy to use and has good battery life which makes it a good companion to take with you on the daily commute.
