[Review] Acer Spin 5: Wallet Friendly 360°

 

Decent all-rounder

There’s more than enough ports for daily usage with 3 USB ports and a HDMI port. It’s also easy to work on with a good touchscreen HD display. It comes fitted with some decent speakers too, so conference calls are clear without needing you to strain your ears.

Work all day

Fitted with a 3220 mAh Li-ion battery, the laptop can last for 10 hours in a single charge – enough to get a day’s worth of work done. Runs on Windows 10 home edition, you have all the necessary apps for general paperwork.

Hey, the 90s rang

The design does leave much to be desired though. It looks like an outdated notebook, with a finish that is black and plastic all round – it doesn’t look as sleek and appealing. Compared to many of its slimmer counter parts, it comes off as rather clunky. Weighing in at 1.6kg, it’s rather weighty and not very friendly for working on the go.

 

 

Highlights

1 – This is not a powerful machine but a portable machine

 

2 – Battery that lasts for a decent day’s work
