One cool design feature I noticed right away and rather liked is when you open the lid, the back of the lid props the bottom of the laptop up a bit, acting as feet.

The bottom bezel is the largest at just over an inch thick and has the Acer logo centred in silver. The top bezel is a bit thicker and houses the camera and dual microphones. The display portion of the lid has relatively narrow bezels on the left and right sides. Centred in the middle of the palm rest is the large touchpad, which is pretty responsive and works well. As is the case with Chromebooks, the top half row is your function keys like refresh, brightness, volume, and locking the OS. There is no number pad, and the arrow keys are half-sized in the lower right corner. Lift it, and you’ll see a standard-sized backlit keyboard with concave keycaps, which are subtle but noticeable when typing. The lid is attached with two hinges towards the left and right sides of the Chromebook. The ports on the left side of the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 laptop. Flipping the laptop over, you’ll see some ventilation slots on the bottom, four rubber-like feet, and dual down-firing speakers. The right edge has a Kensington lock slot, another USB-C port, a second USB-A port, and a volume rocker. On the left edge of the Chromebook are a USB-C/power port, USB-A port, 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack, MicroSD card slot, and the power button. The edges of this Chromebook are nicely bevelled, and the Acer logo is raised slightly on the lid. However, it has a more premium look with its metal chassis and silver colour than the cheaper, basic Chromebooks you’re likely used to sending your kids off to school with.
