The last time Acer launched the Acer Spin 5 was at the end of 2017, and at that time it still used the Kaby Lake Refresh CPU and now this...the upcoming laptop offers a modern Intel Core i7-1065G7 including the powerful integrated Iris Plus Graphics G7 and its weight has decreased some more. In addition, the active input pen is now included.
The equipment looks respectable on paper: A modern Intel Core i7-1065G7 Ice Lake CPU with integrated Iris Plus Graphics G7, which is currently the most powerful Intel graphics, combined with an ample 16 GB of RAM and a 1-TB SSD are impressive. For a pure office laptop, the convertible is almost too powerful, so you should also be able to do some rare image-processing, video-cutting, and with some compromises, even some gaming at times.
As the information provided by the company..the display frame is less resistant to warping. The two hinges allow opening the display lid to 360°, so that the device can be used in various ways, such as in tablet, laptop, or tent mode. We would have liked the hinges to be even tighter, since the display also tends to move when moving the device. The battery is built-in, and while there is no maintenance flap, you can still get access to the hardware - more on this later.
The new Spin 5 is now 24 mm (~0.9 in) less wide but is 10 mm (~0.4 in) deeper instead. The height is also 1 mm (~0.04 in) less. Yet the competitors are mostly even smaller, because the Spin 5 is simply very deep for a 13.x-inch laptop.On the other hand, there is no reason for complaint about the weight, since the convertible loses a full 300 grams (~0.7 lb), sharing first place with the HP Spectre and the Galaxy Book.
The new Spin 5 only supports microSD cards, whereas earlier models had a full SD card reader installed. There is no LAN port. However, the competing convertibles have even more spartan equipment, and it is positive, for example, that two of the four USB ports (Type-C) support Thunderbolt 3.Particularly on the left side, the ports are lined up quite close together. However, this could only become a problem between the HDMI and the USB-A port with especially fat plugs. Right-handed users will have an advantage with the Spin 5, since there are only two ports plus the input pen on the right side.
the Spin 5 does not offer a LAN connection. The WLAN performance is decent. While we get top values particularly when sending, the receiving performance drops slightly, but it is still 50% better than the average of the class.
The company claims the keys offer a short stroke, they still don't feel too hard and give a clear feedback. The distance between the keys is also good. Unfortunately, all the arrow keys are only half-sized. Up/down share a common key space, and left/right have to share their space with Image up/down. The function keys also turned out quite small. The lettering is also not very large, but it can still be read easily. The typing noise is comfortably quiet. For typing in bad light conditions, the Spin 5 offers a single-step keyboard illumination, which will turn off by itself if you don't type for a while. You cannot activate it constantly.
A reflective 3:2-format IPS panel from BOE with a 2K resolution of 2256x1504 pixels is used as the display. The brightness is now 426 nits on average, which is a significant improvement over the old Spin 5. However, with this value the new model is still "only" at the same level as the similarly good competitors
