Acer Chromebook Spin 713 CP713-2W Review: Touchscreen with a 3:2 aspect ratio

[Redaktion]

The Spin 713 offers a 3:2 touchscreen, good battery life and USB-C ports with support for Power Delivery. The 800-Euro (~$970) convertible is not one of the cheapest Chromebooks (in the US, the pricing is much better: $529).

The big question mark on this unit that its had from the start is...  does it or doesn't it support the USI pen standard launched with this crop of chromebooks and how well does it work with android drawing apps. 

The Acer spin 13 that this model replaced had a siloed wacom stylus... with its 13.5" screen and stylus it made it one of the largest screen android drawing tablets out there.   The 713 that replaced it was said to support the USI pens but there were no USI pens available to see if it worked or not. 

Since then its been a mix mash of information on it does, it doesnt work and how well.  Since this PC has been out about a year.  cleaning up that little tidbit would make the review a lot more compelling. 

Otherwise... looks cool...  not a fan of the low contrast ratio at all though.

Stunningly gorgeous.

The only ones that support the USI stylus are the ones with the N in the model number.

Only wish they were also offered in the new Snapdragon 700 series chips like SD780G. x86 doesn't work with Android and play well with sensors, which renders the Play Store Apps on ChromeOS pretty much useless.

Woah, your review is so professional and rigorous.
