The Acer Spin 5 is a hybrid for the masses. It has a large screen but is not excessively heavy, is made of metal but is not intimidatingly expensive. And when not using its hybrid side it feels just like a normal laptop.There are issues, though. Its scree...
Big and bulky, Lack of colour accuracy, No dedicated graphics
Despite its lack of dedicated graphics and its bulky build, the Spin 5 has a lot to offer. The flexible design helps it to stand out from the crowd, while the typing experience is also solid. Sadly, the lack of colour accuracy and limited portability mean...

The 2018 Spin 5 is very much a case of Acer doing what it does best. Without excelling in any one area, the reviewed 15.6in model ticks plenty of relevant boxes and packs impressive performance into a sleek and well-priced machine.At a not-too-unreaso...

Convertibility, Battery Life
Only Full HD display
The Acer Spin 5 is now a serious contender for your portable convertible needs. Even if you're reading this review and think you're unlikely to ever flip it around into anything other than a standard laptop position, there's not really a premium or a pena...
Fairly solid performance, Windows Hello is supported by a fingerprint sensor, Good assortment of ports, Loads of solid state storage, SD card slot included
Massive bezels on the display, Battery could be better, No place to store the included Windows Ink pen
Finding the right modern computer with the right modern hardware has always been a lesson in compromise, with something being thrown out. Do you want more memory (RAM) or more storage? Do you want a nice screen or a touchscreen? There's always something t...

Abstract: The Acer Spin 5 (2022) follows up one of the best 2-in-1 laptops around and from what we've seen so far, it will definitely carry on the Spin 5 legacy. We previewed an early pre-production unit of the Spin 5, so we'll have to see an actual production unit...
