It trails chips like the AMD Ryzen 3500C and Intel Core i3-1115G4, though. Going by my benchmark testing, it handles processing tasks faster than a Celeron or Pentium processor or even the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c compute platform. The price is similar to that of a newer Intel Celeron-based Chromebook but with better performance and killer battery life. What's great about the Kompanio 828 system-on-a-chip is that it's a mid-range option specifically designed for Chromebooks. It doesn't seem to be available yet in the UK or Australia but the price converts to around £305 and AU$540. In its defense, the CB514-2H/T does start at $400. It would've been nice if Acer could've kept at least a couple of the Intel model's better features (I feel like keeping the HDMI out and microSD card slot aren't big asks). The price starts at $680.īut the Chromebook 514 CB514-2H/T trades the Intel processors for Mediatek's Arm-based Kompanio 828 system-on-a-chip and cuts pretty much all the premium features, though it does still have a comfortable backlit keyboard and a smooth Gorilla Glass touchpad. They also have premium features like a full-HD webcam with a privacy shutter a fingerprint reader two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports an HDMI output a microSD card slot SSD storage and mil-spec construction. If you can spend a bit more, the more-expensive CB514-1W models have 11th-gen Intel Core i3 or i5 processors. Many features cut from higher-end Intel version.
