[IFA 2025] Acer is rolling out its first Chromebook powered by MediaTek’s Kompanio Ultra platform—the Chromebook Plus Spin 514 (CP514-5HN)—and pairing it with two compact desktop options, the Chromebox CXI6 and the Chromebox Mini CXM2, to cover everything from mobile creativity to space-saving workstations. The headliner Spin 514 brings an integrated NPU with up to 50 TOPS of on-device AI, turning ChromeOS’ newest Google AI features into fast, offline-capable workflows for writing, search, image edits, and more.
Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514
The convertible Spin 514 leans into pro-grade versatility: a 14-inch 16:10 touchscreen in either WQXGA+ (2880×1800) or WUXGA (1920×1200), USI 2.0 stylus support (sold separately), and Corning Gorilla Glass with anti-fingerprint coating. Housed in a slim 15.5 mm aluminum chassis at 1.36 kg, it meets MIL-STD 810H and uses 360° hinges tested for 25,000 cycles, so switching between laptop, tablet, tent, and stand modes is frictionless. A 5MP or 1080p webcam with privacy shutter teams up with AI call tools (noise cancellation, lighting, background blur) and DTS-tuned upward-firing speakers for hybrid work polish.
Under the hood, the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 and Arm Immortalis-G925 MC11 GPU drive real-time AI features, editing, and multitasking while delivering up to 17 hours of battery life (web browsing test). Connectivity is modern: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, dual USB-C (Gen 2) with DisplayPort and PD, plus USB-A and a headphone jack. ChromeOS’ Quick Insert key, smart tab/doc grouping, and Lens “Select to search” further streamline everyday tasks. Customers of the Chromebook Plus Spin 514 can also choose a complimentary 12-month Google AI Pro plan (3), unlocking Google’s most capable AI features and 2 TB of cloud storage.
For fixed setups, Acer’s Chromebox CXI6 targets labs, SMBs, kiosks, and signage with up to Intel Core 7 150U performance, Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5G LAN, and ports to run up to four monitors (dual HDMI 2.1, DP, USB-C, and abundant USB-A). The whisper-quiet Chromebox Mini CXM2 goes fanless and ultra-compact, powered by Intel Core 3 N350 (or N250/N150) and supporting up to three displays with dual HDMI plus USB-C. Both support VESA mounting and Kensington locks.
Acer will also offer Chrome Enterprise Upgrade bundles (Chromebook Enterprise Plus Spin 514, Chromebox Enterprise CXI6, Chromebox Enterprise Mini CXM2) to unlock ChromeOS’ business features for secure, scalable fleet deployments.
