Reviews for the Acer Spin 3 SP314-52-31FP
Source: Ultrabook Review
Archive.org versionThe updated Spin 3 SP314-52 is competitive in its class of entry to mid-range 2-in-1 laptops, but despite the fact that it addresses some of the issues of the previous SP314-51 generation, it still remains a quirky product. The decent build, good performance, and long battery life are its strongest selling points, while the noisy fans, dim screen, non-backlit keyboard and long charging time could make you think twice before going for one. We get in-depth on all these aspects in the review down below.

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.
75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
