When the laptop's display is folded over into tablet mode, the laptop's bottom are actually covered by the display panel, so heat is pushed out through another vent on the back of the chassis. The most expensive model, retailing for $1,299 (about £1,000/AU$1,825), has all of the same specs, it's just upgraded Windows 10 Professional.Īs for thermals, the Spin 5 doesn't get excessively warm under normal use, but the heat vents on the bottom of the laptop can make things a bit toasty if you have it sitting on your lap. The only real difference comes with the upgrade to the Core i7-1065G7 CPU. The model we tested is the mid-range configuration that is similar to the base model and sells for $1,099 (about £845/AU$1,540). It comes with an Intel Core i5-1035G4, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD – though the entry model in the UK cuts the RAM down to 8GB. The Acer Spin 5 is available now, starting at $999 (£899, about AU$1,400). Ports: 2 x USB 3.1 Type-C with Thunderbolt 3 (DP and USB-charging available), 1 x USB 3.1 2.0, HDMI 2.0, MicroSD reader, 3.5mm headphone jack with microphone headset support, DC-in, N-lock, Stylus dockĬonnectivity: Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax 2x2, Bluetooth 5.0 Screen: 13.5-inch FHD (2256x1504) VertiView IPS Display Here is the Acer Spin 5 configuration sent to TechRadar for review: It's a perfect note-taking laptop that is powerful enough to handle whatever you can realistically throw at an ultrabook - all while keeping its charge long enough to make it through the day. If you're looking for a great, portable hybrid laptop for work or school, though, you should definitely consider taking Acer's latest 2-in-1 for a spin.
Bloatware is unavoidable, especially for mid-tier and budget devices, so its not the kind of thing that's going to especially bother us - normally. The Spin 5, unfortunately, includes Acer-branded software that launches pop-up ads on your desktop. This is somewhat par for the course when it comes to laptop speakers, but the Spin is definitely in line with the rest as far as sound goes.Īnother issue that popped up is some of the unfortunate bloatware packed in with the Spin 5. The audio is decent, thanks to the speakers that always face forward with the display, but the sound isn't fantastic. Few laptops are perfect, however, and there are some issues with the Spin 5.
