Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Acer Chromebook Spin 312 is straightforward: upon powering on, simply connect to Wi-Fi and sign in with your Google Account to sync your settings and apps. Since ChromeOS is cloud-integrated, your files are automatically accessible via Google Drive. For physical care, keep the device in a protective sleeve when traveling to prevent screen scratches. Clean the screen using a microfiber cloth and ensure the vents remain unobstructed to maintain optimal thermal performance. Check for system updates periodically in the settings menu, though ChromeOS handles most of this automatically in the background.
