Q: Purchased this chrome book from Best Buy Gilbert Arizona around 1.5 years back and now battery not charging when plugged. What options do we have now?

The fingers in the USB-C connector on the power supply cable eventually wore out and would not make a tight, reliable connection. A new power supply (can be bought inexpensively) fixed the problem.

Q: What is the auto update expiration on this Chromebook?

A: In an answer above it is given as June 2029 and that is the same date that I found (with a not quite identical stock number) at the Google site. https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?#zippy=

Very easy to set up and use
Within a few minutes of opening the box, I was online and working on this Acer Chromebook – it is that easy to use. The setup is made easier if you have a Gmail account, as many people do. Just enter your account information and verify and you will be online and able to download updates, applications and access your Gmail and G Suite products to which you may have access. The speed of accessing webpages and email is more than adequate – I did not notice any kind of delay. The Ryzen 3 processor in this thing is supposed to have tested to specs near an Intel i7 chip. The Full HD display is every bit as nice as the HD on my much more expensive business laptop thanks to an AMD Radeon graphics processor. There whole thing is very lightweight thanks to a solid state hard drive for memory, but it still appears to be very sturdy. In fact, it claims to meet a military standard for toughness, (MIL-STD 810-H, the latest version of this standard), but I have not drop-tested it and do not plan to do so. Still, it gives me peace of mind to know that it can withstand a little rough handling. I appreciate that it has two USB ports, one on each side – one more than my expensive machine - and it also has all the other ports I need: headphone jack, HDMI port for presenting, USB rectangular (Type C), and MicroSD for my photos. With only 64Gb of memory, however, I will have to get used to storing more things in my cloud accounts. The 360 capability is nice for watching video or sharing documents such as those that you want to sign by drawing with your finger on the touchscreen. The hinges seem very sturdy and the whole thing moves much better than a “yoga” machine I used to own from another manufacturer. Acer claims 10 hours of battery life and I have not used it for that long, but it has exceeded 8 hours. The only real drawback I found is that the keyboard is small, taking up only about half of the real estate available on the surface. I know there are things going on beneath the surface that limit the keyboard size, but I could have done with a smaller touchpad or perhaps moving the pad to the side rather than give up almost 50% of keyboard size. All in all, this is a very competitive Chromebook at a very affordable price and suitable for just about every member of the family except the very young, the power user and the gamer. If I get 3 years’ use out of it, it will have been well worth it.

Would you care for some Ryzen with that laptop?
What a treat it has been to work and play with this brand new convertible Chromebook with a beautiful narrow-bezel 14 inch full HD screen, stunning aluminum lid, spacious back-lit keys, and AMD Ryzen 3 3000 Series processor. It looks amazingly like its more expensive sibling, the Spin 713, but with a bigger screen. Yes, this laptop has a 14-inch screen, and the Spin 713’s spec is only 13.5 inches! Admittedly, their design is different in that the 713 has a 3:2 aspect ratio, and the 714 has the more commonly seen 16:9, the latter being better for media consumption and the former having more available real estate for office work. But I am typing this review with the Microsoft Word app, and have no usability complaints whatsoever. How is the Ryzen and is 4gb of memory enough? For my purposes, the Ryzen 3 has easily and speedily handled every task I have thrown at it, and 4 gigs of memory has been plenty for my work and play. This Ryzen chip was designed for use with chrome OS, and it shows. There is a fan, and after hours of work, I could sometimes hear it turn on, but it never bothered me. This Spin has not bogged down on me at all, and all tasks have been completed with aplomb. I seldom use the Linux apps, but did turn on the feature to install and use several apps, including Thunderbird mail. I had no problems, but I think you would be pressing the limits of this laptop’s memory if you wanted to keep several Linux apps going at once. The 64gb of internal storage is on an eMMC chip, and not an SSD. It has not slowed me down. I stuck a 256gb card in the micro-SD slot, and have more than enough storage for my future use. The card installs flush and does not protrude at all. There are ports aplenty. USB-C on both sides, and you can charge from either. And there are USB-A ports on either side as well, and an earphone jack. The power button is on the left side, and the volume control on the right. The chassis on this device are MIL-STD 810H certified. That means this laptop can stand some punishment. It is so pretty, I would never want to intentionally test that specification! The sturdy hinge allows the screen to be folded back for the tent mode, and then all the way back to use as a tablet. When you fold the screen all the way back, the keyboard is disabled. The battery life is specified to be up to 10 hours. I have already used it for eight solid hours on a full charge, and it is still going strong. I have no reason to doubt that spec. I think this Spin 514 Chromebook should be considered by anyone looking for an attractive midrange feature-rich Chrome OS device. Streamed movies render beautifully. Office work is a cinch. Honestly, this a lot of machine for a great price. If you are considering a Chromebook, you will want to give this one a look.
