60% Acer Spin 7 Review: Underachiever
Source: The Verge Archive.org version
When you’re designing computers, diligently paying attention to the details matters just as much as having the right ideas. The Spin 7 is the kid in class who is really smart but waits until the last minute to do his homework, and the result is a disappointing mix of brilliance and sloppy work. You know the kid could pull off an A, but you shake your head and write "not working up to potential" at the top of his report before ruefully marking it with a big, red C.

The Acer Spin 7 is a beautiful, thin and portable 2-in-1, but its battery life and performance are worse than similarly priced competitors.

Prices for the Spin 7 will start at €1,299 in Europe (around £1,326 inc VAT), making it one of the more expensive hybrid laptops on the market. It’s a niche proposition, but equally a very tempting one for those in the market for a hybrid.

Acer has finally cracked top-end laptop design
Source: Pocket Lint Archive.org version
After Apple took the plunge and went USB Type-C only in its 12in MacBook design, it's taken a while for manufacturers and, admittedly, consumers to get on board with the idea. In the Swift 7 it's an obvious essential: a laptop couldn't be sub-1cm with ports any larger. And there's two of the things, side by side, meaning peripheral use and simultaneous charging is possible. Sure, some might miss the full-size port, but this is facing into the future.

Flexible design with a touch of class

And so to the price: at €1,299 it's a toss-up between this Spin 7 and the slimmer, sleeker looking Swift 7 in our books. Although the Swift is less functional, as it doesn't have the hinge mechanism of the Spin, we're more sold on its looks.

Hands on: Acer Spin 7 review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
Its chiclet-spaced keyboard provides a decent level of travel and should prove up to the task of bashing out longer documents, and you could easily connect a Bluetooth keyboard to use the device in tent mode.

Comment

Model: The SP714-51-M6LT sports a 14-inch IPS CineCrystal display with 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. The display is capable of displaying punchy colors and it has a good brightness for outdoor usage. In addition, it uses the Acer Color Intelligence technology and supports 10-point multi-touch. Thanks to an IPS panel, the horizontal and vertical viewing angles are good. The display is generally good for media playback. It is surrounded by a razor thin bezel, which makes it look really nice. It is a good thing that Acer has decided to jump into the "Thin Bezel" bandwagon, since this feature is something that makes a difference between a normal device and an innovative device.

Being a hybrid laptop, Acer Spin 7 SP714-51-M6LT has a hinge to fully rotate itself into 4 different modes: laptop, tablet, display and tent. The ability to rotate itself into different modes allows the user to choose the right mode for the right moment. It also gives the flexibility to be used in any kind of condition. The keyboard is considered one of the better keyboards for ultra-thin laptops in the market and it provides an easy and comfortable typing experience with enough key travel. The touchpad is officially certified by Microsoft and it is capable of performing all the multi-touch gestures on Windows 10 that the user needs without any issues. Despite the slender design of the laptop, the touchpad is actually large and easy to navigate. Connectivity options are quite good even for a hybrid laptop with a very slim profile. There are two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.1 Gen 1 port, audio combo jack connectors and an SD card reader. It does not come with an optical drive as is the case in many laptops these days. The Acer Spin 7 SP714-51-M6LT weighs only 1.6 kg and has a battery life of up to 8 hours according to Acer. Overall, the laptop is an attractive Full HD convertible laptop with a good display and it is relatively thin.

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: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.

76.2%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
