The 21st century has seen a rise in new computer models launching every year. It is worth mentioning that these new models endeavor to meet tech-consumers' demand, giving them exactly what they want. The Acer Spin launched in August 2016 adds to the 2-by-1 list of laptops, only this time a notch higher than its predecessors. The Acer offers a new look of a modern mobile computer; all this is due to the small 14-inch display that fits perfectly well on the embedded 13-inch body.
The Acer Spin has met its goal of providing an ultra-slim yet fully functional laptop. It's the simple and stylish black aluminum body has a thickness of only 11mm and weighs 1.2kg which is way better for a machine of its quality. On daily tasks, Spin has provided a dedicated fanless cooling that ensures silence regardless of the workload given.
Computer manufacturers face stiff market competition; each manufacturer strives to ensure it remains relevant in production, lest they get kicked out from the list of computer manufacturers. As such, Acer still boasts of its vast reputation in manufacturing some of the coolest fast processing laptops in the market. The Acer Spin though not perfect for a laptop of its caliber, is a choice any consumer should add to their shopping list.
This review provides an in-depth analysis of Spin, the features and specification of the model, as well as the reasons why shipping the laptop from the USA to Kenya is the perfect option for you.
The Spin is powered by a 1.3GHZ Intel Core i7-7Y75 mobile CPU that enables it to function swiftly as possible. It runs on Intel 615- Graphics, which makes it unsuitable for high-end 3D games and graphic designs. Conversely, Acer Spin offers fascinating video qualities, very responsive as a tablet and touchscreen, and is suitable for surfing the net.
In terms of the screen resolution, the Acer Spin hasn’t added anything special; it still operates the old 1080 display. However, with the Gorilla Glass coated IPS panel, the laptop has enough saturation and brightness making it somewhat add to distinguish between the 1080p and 1440p. Moreover, Acer Spin has a large font that is big enough to give it even a more exceptional feature.
Connectivity-wise, the Acer Spin offers Bluetooth 4.1 and Wireless AC. The Wireless Qualcomm QCA6174 module gives the laptop long-range connectivity and smooth operation. On top of the screen is an HD webcam that is rather mediocre as it captures washed away images that are unappealing and unusable.
Acer Spin comes with an installed Windows 10 and has a 64-bit operating system. It comes with pre-installed apps that, at times, cause a lag in operation. To achieve maximum efficiency, uninstalling the unused apps proves beneficial.
Acer Spin allows easy installation of other 64-bit software. The software should be light to enable the system to execute them without slowing the operation of other software efficiently.
In terms of the warranty, it is essential to note that the retailing price of the Acer Spin is way high than what it offers. It is, therefore, necessary to assess the security and safety of the laptop before opting to buy it. Acer offers a one-year limited warranty for its products, which means they are liable for any operation problem within a year of purchase.
When it comes to battery life, the latest 2-in-1 facsimiles have endeavored to deliver powerful laptop batteries that give the laptops more extended battery life. The Spin lasts nearly 7 hours of battery life when fully charged. The slim profile only allows for a 42 Wh to fit inside it. However, on a heavy workload, the Acer Spin provides even a lesser battery life of up to 4 hours.
If you consider the price tag impeded on the Acer Spin and the battery life, it goes without saying that Acer has spoilt the taste. They have underperformed and compared to rival 2-in-1 laptops, Acer needs to up their game.
The Acer Spin gets charged using USB-C type charger, which you would expect to make the charging hardware more portable. However, that is not the case; the power cable appears to be essentially sizeable and having an ugly power brick caught between two wires.
The new generation of laptops has seen an improvement in terms of storage space and memory. The memory of any computer often dictates the processing power and speed. The Acer Spin operates on 8GB RAM and 256GB storage space.
The 8GB RAM is just sufficient enough to keep normal operations on. However, with the latest developments in computing, data and files are computerized, and the 256GB storage space would turn out to be dismal.
Another downfall of the Acer Spin is its inability to allow additional space. Unlike its rival 2-in-1 models, the Acer Spin lacks the option of adding additional more capacious and faster PCIe flash disk.
Besides the alluring convertible design aspect, the Acer Spin boasts with an all-metal chassis, comfy keyboards, and a full angle glass trackpad. The keyboard is perfect healthy chiclet typing beauty and far superb than that of MacBook. Besides this beauty, the Acer Spin7 lacks LED backlighting, which is not too bad to turn you away from it completely. The laptop is available in a basic black with contrasting silver hinges.
The laptops speakers’ volume averages close 76dB, making them decent for daily use. However, their location beneath the laptop makes it hard to listen to music and videos, considering that the speakers are always in contact with another surface. Acer Spin comes with two USB Type-C ports, which can be used for other devices like USB drives and also for charging cable.
The keyboard is damn pleasing on the fingers. However, the touchpad is hard, and pressing it proves to be a chore on its own. With a wide-angled touchpad, it would be perfect to have soft keys with smooth clicks to give the laptop even a quiet functionality.
Acer Spin is perhaps one of the most beautiful ever designed 2-in-1 model. The slim profile, coupled with the beauty, practical convertibility, and lightweight, forms some of the selling points of the laptop. Acer deserves applause for nailing it, producing such a slim laptop yet efficiently operational is something they have proved they are good at. The fanless and slick design also makes it a perfect machine to own.
Besides the beauty, few glitches need to be identified before settling to depend on a penny on this laptop. The battery life is way below what Acer promised. As such, subjecting the laptop to a heftier workload would often require being close to a power source. The lack of LCD backlight also limits the operational hours of the laptop; you would probably need a lighting source to type in the dark
All in all, the positive outweighs the negatives. If you crave to get your hands on a fanless, silent, and slim convertible laptop, the Acer Spin is the perfect option for you. The big screen, coupled with a fancy look, truly gives you the happiness you deserve.
A word of advice, shipping the Acer Spin directly from the US would be way cheaper as compared to when you get it from local stores. So, why don’t you make an order online from retailers in the US and have KENTEX CARGO the curtesy of promptly transporting the laptop to your doorstep?
