Acer Chromebook Spin 511 R756TN-TCO-C2E5 11.6" HD IPS Touch, Celeron N100, 4GB/32GB, stylus

The Spin 511 configuration that ships with an active stylus, which is the reason to choose it over the R757T alongside. For handwriting, sketching and marking up worksheets, a pen in the box rather than a separate purchase changes what the device is actually used for in a classroom.

It runs an Intel Celeron N100 with 4 GB of LPDDR5X memory and 32 GB of eMMC storage behind an 11.6-inch HD IPS touchscreen on a 360-degree hinge. A microSD card reader covers local files. The specification is deliberately modest and suits ChromeOS browser and Workspace use rather than heavy multitasking.

The chassis is tested to MIL-STD 810H for shared use. Wireless is Wi-Fi 6E 2×2 with Bluetooth, there is an HD camera with a 5 MP sensor, and a 50 Wh battery charges over a 65 W USB Type-C adapter. It runs ChromeOS with a three-year carry-in warranty.
