Acer Spin 5 Review - Great Value in Portability
Intel®️ Evoᵀᴹ platform certified, the All-New Acer Spin 5 brings versatility to a whole new level, being powered by the Intel®️Coreᵀᴹ 11th Generation processor and Intel®️ Iris®️ Xᵉ graphics. With 4 usage modes, a touch capable 13.5” FHD IPS Display with Wacom AES 1.0 that features up to 4,096 pressure levels, a stylus and 15 hours of battery life - the Acer Spin 5 is certainly made for the creatives on the go.
I took it for a spin and I'm impressed by the build quality, and how the screen looks great and works great as well.

great vid Goldfries thanks😁Got an older version of Spin for my daughter I think last year maybe 2 years ago - this one looks even better!
I'm thinking about upgrading from a Switch 5... Not sure if I will miss the fully detachable keyboard
One thing that's extremely hard to find when researching laptops is charger brick size. People don't realize when packing this into a light bag or portfolio, that needs to come with.
Exactly one local reviewer would always provide the total weight
Do you know if I can use a USB c cable to charge my Spin 5? In your video, you showed a power brick that had a USB type C port. However, my Spin 5 came with a power brick that plugs into a round power port. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me. Chuck
Great video man this laptop looks amazing
Thank u for the review.stay safe
Mine cannot rotate screen. What should I do?
Very good review! I am actually looking for this to make notes at university. Do you think the stylus works well with Microsoft onenote to write equations sentences etc ? Thanks in advance
The active stylus ain't as good as Samsung S pen cos it's too small and thin but I like it that it is easily stored away in the silo
@@glandliang how is the latency compared to the Samsung pen?
@@irisl.2767 both are about the same but the S-pen is slightly better :)
Thanks
Nice review, thanks...just wondered if the laptop can connect to a 4K monitor at 60hz please?
it has an HDMI port, so yes
I wanted to buy a good laptop for Genshin AND my art, didnt expect you to show the game here! ♡
Glad to hear that, I always show Genshin Impact because it's a popular game and that it can run even on lower spec graphics system.
Are you able to charge the Acer Spin 5 via the Thunderbolt C port(s)?
I have an older model with only one USB-C port. but I can charge the laptop with it.
@@rockpickable I'm so envious of your USB C charging
Almost perfect but the ram is soldered and you cant upgrade it
Is it just me or everyone else also because I heard after the minute of 2:00, he said asus spin 5 a couple of times? 🤔
Yes he does LOL!
I heard about the heat issue for this product. It is true?
yes
yep, even on their successor. Almost impossible to have it on a bed without it having temp. at 70 oC
I have the successors. Some minor points that annoys me: - Can't turn the keyboard backlight completely off. - Hard to open with such a small gap when trying to open the PC. - Smaller than average keyboard space, fn keys and touchpad. Just want to know why, Acer? Why???? - Also, the battery does not live up to what I have read in the reviews. You get maximum 6-7 hours at top. With low brightness and video watching on youtube.
I'm interesed in the New versión of this laptop (Acer spin 5 SP514) , I've read negative comments on the hinge quality of other 2 in 1 laptops (lenovo, Dell, HP)😒. How durable is this laptop in that issue (and also common issues like overheating)? Btw, Do you still keep yours or are you thinking to replace it?
@@JuanLopez-zo8os The hinge quality has been good for now. But it's only 2 months now, so I can't say anything for sure. If the laptop is on a table you are fine, but if you have it on your bed blankets the temperature will go up and the fans will spin faster. It is annoying, but you need something under the laptop to avoid that. I am using a cardboard box and it has been working good for now.
@@JuanLopez-zo8os Also, I realized these things too late and I was in a pinch, so I decided to keep it.
@@JuanLopez-zo8os But one thing is for sure. The bios are much better on Lenovo, Asus and Dell. I have used all those three laptops and their bios are dominating Acer's BIOS (PS. Send Acer feedback about their BIOS, so let us hope something will be done in the near future). Especially Dell. So many options and so user-friendly. But that is on my laptop at work which is not a 2-in-1 convertible. So I can't say anything about their 2-in-1 laptop. However, my brother has a 2-in-1 Lenovo convertible and it has lasted him 2 years now. Some of the keys are not working. Otherwise, the hinges and other parts are as good as new. I have also been using my sister's Asus Zenbook 2016 models. The hinges are horrible, so I would watch out for that. However, even after 7 years the screen or the keyboard has no issues.
How have your hinges been as of now?
Bro what happened to u😭
First
Processor is crap compared to the 1260p get that one instead.
Makes very much noise that processor. And I have the laptop with that processor.
I had the laptop for only 2 years and now its completely unusable product. 0/10. Dont waste your money.
what happened?

@@zyadmekawy1397 mine also broke btw after 6 months now. Still under warranty luckily...but I am hoping they aren't able to repair this shit and I get a refund ! Laptop is good but I can't trust its durability anymore..the screen and ssd both went bad
What happened?? Care to share? I am eyeing this laptop for the past few weeks.
