Acer latest Chromebook Plus laptop joins Google's AI wave

This is a big deal because Chromebooks (like the Lenovo Chromebook 14) are starting to wade into the on-device AI pool-Acer's the latest to join. Now let's dive right into it.

MediaTek flexes its AI muscles The real star of the show here is the Kompanio Ultra 910, an eight-core Arm chip paired with MediaTek's NPU 890, which can crank out up to 50 TOPS of AI performance. As far as the CPU goes, it's got one ultra-performance core, three performance cores, and four efficiency cores.

We reviewed the Lenovo Chromebook 14 with the new Kompanio chip a while back, and we were delighted by the performance gains. Heck, we even tried Minecraft on it and gameplay was surprisingly smooth.

Beyond the chip, the Acer Plus Spin 514 leans into Google AI features. This makes things like searches, workflow, writing, and content creation feel quick and responsive. Smart Grouping keeps tabs and docs organized, especially useful if you're a chaotic person like me, and Gallery Image Generation lets you play around with on-device AI image editing.

I don't need Windows 11 anymore. One final tool freed me from Microsoft

To be clear, I still use Windows. It's what I'm using right now to type this, on a beefy gaming desktop I assembled myself, with triple monitors and all sorts of googaws attached. But I don't need all that anymore, and for the first time in my adult life, I can see myself transitioning to an entirely different operating system. 

That's a big deal for me, and I suspect I'm far from alone. Microsoft might want to make a note of it. 

Why I don't need Windows So here's what I mean when I say that I don't need Windows anymore: Every tool, program, and piece of information I rely upon is now essentially separate from whatever machine I'm using at the moment.

I'm writing the words you're reading right now in Google Docs. When I'm done, I'll edit them in WordPress. Throughout my work day I'm talking with my coworkers and bosses on Slack, I'm chatting with my friends via text, WhatsApp, and some other platforms. I'm managing my own to-do list in Google Keep, updating my work tasks in a tool called Monday, and checking personal and professional email in Gmail and Outlook, respectively. I'm keeping an eye on news and social trends in BlueSky and The Old Reader for RSS. 

I still use local files, of course. But they're all
