Acer Chromebook Spin 514 Brings Power, Portability and Value to South African Homes and Classrooms

Johannesburg, South Africa –October 2025 -  Acer Africa has announced the arrival of its latest Acer Chromebook Spin 514, a sleek and versatile convertible laptop designed for hybrid learning, home use, and on-the-go productivity. Powered by an energy-efficient Snapdragon™ processor and running ChromeOS, the new Spin 514 delivers the perfect balance of speed, simplicity, and sustainability, now available in South Africa from R7,999.

 Empowering Smart Learning and Mobile Work

As hybrid work and e-learning continue to shape daily life, the Chromebook Spin 514 gives students, teachers, and families the flexibility to work and study from anywhere. Featuring a 360-degree hinge, users can easily switch between laptop, tent, tablet, and display modes — making it perfect for video calls, creative projects, or streaming entertainment.

Under the hood, the Snapdragon platform provides instant-on performance, long battery life, and quiet, fan-less operation, while ChromeOS ensures fast boot times and automatic updates for a smooth, secure experience.

“The new Chromebook Spin 514 is built for South Africans who live, learn, and work everywhere, from home to classroom to coffee shop,” said Glenn du Toit, Country Manager at Acer Africa. “It delivers premium design and performance in a lightweight, sustainable package that supports the modern hybrid lifestyle.”

 A Lightweight Design That Lasts

Weighing just 1.3 kg and featuring an aluminium chassis, the Spin 514 offers durability and style without compromise. Its 14-inch Full HD IPS touchscreen provides bright, vibrant visuals, while Corning® Gorilla® Glass protects the display from daily wear.

Battery life of up to 15 hours keeps users productive all day long, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity ensures smooth browsing, streaming, and collaboration on Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 Web, and popular Android™ apps.

 Affordable, Sustainable, and Secure

Built with post-consumer recycled materials, the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 supports Acer’s global Earthion initiative, aimed at reducing environmental impact through responsible design and packaging.

Running ChromeOS, the device offers enhanced security, automatic cloud backups, and family-friendly parental controls. It’s ideal for families seeking a secure, easy-to-manage device for schoolwork and entertainment.

Also Available: Acer Chromebook Spin 513

Alongside the Spin 514, Acer is introducing the compact Acer Chromebook Spin 513, featuring the same convertible design in a lighter, 13.3-inch form factor — perfect for students and commuters who want reliable all-day performance at an even lower price point.

Both models feature Acer’s renowned build quality, extended battery life, and fast-charging USB-C ports compatible with phones, accessories, and monitors.
