Reviews for the Acer Spin 5 SP513-53N-550T
Source: Hot Hardware Archive.org version
As our benchmarks show, the Spin 5 is not a gaming oriented computer but you probably knew that. On the other hand, it is more than capable of handling mixed productivity tasks. Users tackling web browsing, email, document writing, and spreadsheets are unlikely to tax the Spin 5 to the point of thermal saturation. These users can take advantage of the Core i5-8265U's higher boost clock over the Core i5-8250U for a more responsive experience. If heavy photo editing is on the menu, the soldered 8GB of RAM may be lacking. Acer, however, also offers a Core i7-8565U equipped variation with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB NVMe SSD for about $1,200. That is still a great price for that kind of horsepower.

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.
