Acer Spin 3 review

 

Inexpensive only gets you so much

Affordable ; Responsive touchscreen ; Healthy offering of ports

Touchpad is lacking ; It’s a bit bulky ; Middling performance for price

The Acer Spin 3 is affordable and can get the job done, but only if you have a few minutes to spare. Middling performance and subpar trackpad hardware mar an otherwise decent general use, 2-in-1 laptop.

Acer Spin 3 (2020) initial review: Versatile without costing a fortune

 

If you want a laptop with a versatile hinge mechanism that doesn't cost a fortune, the Spin 3 has a lot going for it. Here's our first impressions.

If you're looking for a laptop with a 360-degree hinge that doesn't cost a fortune, the 2020 Acer Spin 3 has a lot going for it. It's not got a premium build, but it dresses itself up well given the asking price.

Acer Spin 3 (2018) review: In a sea of $500 convertibles, the Spin 3 comes up short

 

With so many solid $500 convertibles available, the Acer Spin 3 comes up short in battery life and performance.

A solid set of components, including a 1TB hard drive. The decent complement of ports and connections. The crisp 14-inch display is a pleasure to use in laptop and tablet mode.

Flimsy design. Subpar performance and battery life. Keyboard and touchpad aren’t great.

In the ultracompetitive market of midrange convertibles, the Acer Spin 3 fails to stand out.

Acer Spin 3 (2018) review

  (Rating Hidden)

The Acer Spin 3 laptop has something of a unique twist - literally. The screen folds back on itself, effectively turning the laptop into a tablet. With a Pentium processor and 4GB of Ram running the show, can it do enough to impress? Find out in our...

Acer Spin 3 (2020) Review

 

Stylus and carrying sleeve included ; Thunderbolt 3 port

A few ounces overweight ; Unremarkable screen and keyboard ; Mediocre webcam

With a fast-charging bundled stylus and a full-flex rotating screen, the 2020 Acer Spin 3 is a solid convertible laptop choice for users who'd like to dabble in drawing or handwriting.

Acer Spin 3 (With Amazon Alexa)

 

Now armed with Alexa, Acer's Spin 3 convertible is a reasonable value, but its bulky bezels, lack of USB Type-C, and middling typing experience make it a merely average 2-in-1, the Amazon angle aside.

Alexa integration. Punchy performance for the price. Elegant, 360-degree-rotating 1080p touch display.

Thick bezels. No USB Type-C ports. Poor webcam quality. Shallow, non-backlit keyboard. No support for Wake on Voice (WoV). Hefty for a 2-in-1.

Bottom Line: Now armed with Alexa, Acer's Spin 3 convertible is a reasonable value, but its bulky bezels, lack of USB Type-C, and middling typing experience make it a merely average 2-in-1, the Amazon angle aside.

Acer Spin 3 (SP314-51-38XK)

 

The Acer Spin 3 is a 14-inch convertible laptop that hits the $500 price point, but for performance's sake we'd spend an extra $100 to upgrade the memory and storage.

Handsome touch screen. Nice sound. Good battery life.

Sluggish hard drive instead of SSD. No USB-C port.

Bottom Line: The Acer Spin 3 is a 14-inch convertible laptop that hits the $500 price point, but for performance's sake we'd spend an extra $100 to upgrade the memory and storage.

Acer Spin 3 2020 review

 

The Acer Spin 3 is an affordable 2-in-1 with a stylus, but it struggles to outpace its competitors

Stylus included ; Decent variety of ports ; Fingerprint-resistant chassis ; Thunderbolt 3 port ; Affordable

Middling performance ; So-so battery life ; Dim display

The Acer Spin 3 is a budget-friendly 2-in-1 with a cool stylus, but has middling performance, a dim display and below-average battery life.
