Acer a few days ago expanded its convertible notebook offerings with the
Spin 7, Spin 5, Spin 3 and Spin 1. The new Spin series convertible notebooks
run on Windows 10, and incorporate innovative 360-degree hinges, along with
Continuum, that enable them to be used in various ways: as a notebook or
tablet, in a space-saving display mode, or in tent mode for sharing
presentations or watching movies. Providing the ultimate in flexibility, they
make computing anywhere, anytime easier than ever.
The Acer Spin series offers a wide variety of choices to address
different needs, with the Spin
7 debuting as the premiere line. The Spin 5 and Spin 3 offer solid
performance combined with compelling technologies such as Full HD IPS[1] displays and speedy solid state drives, while the Spin 1 is ideal
for students or as a second computer.
Depending on model, they offer fast and reliable wireless
connectivity with 802.11ac MU-MIMO wireless technology, providing up to 3 times
faster[2] downloads. They also feature Acer BluelightShield which minimizes
eye strain, Acer Color Intelligence which maximizes color saturation for bright and clear
visuals, and Acer TrueHarmony for crisp and clear audio.
“With our new Spin series, Acer has a wide range of convertible
notebooks for each and every need,” said James Lin, General Manager, Commercial
& Detachable Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer Inc. “Our
top-of-the-line Spin 7 allows consumers to enjoy extreme portability without
compromising on performance or versatility.”
“Acer’s Spin series convertible notebooks really highlight the
variety of Windows 10 devices that are available for different customers’
distinct needs,” said Peter Han, Vice President of Worldwide OEM Marketing,
Microsoft Corp. “Within the Spin series, customers can choose from a number of
different Windows 10 PCs, good for a variety of uses, at a range of price
points, and the convertible form factor offers additional flexibility on
whichever device they choose.”
“The new 7th Generation Intel Core Processors are
perfectly suited for the Acer Spin series, prime examples of why the 2 in 1
category, including convertibles, continue to grow at a rapid rate” said Chris
Walker, Vice President of the Client Computing Group and General Manager of
Mobility Client Platforms, Intel Corp. “Our leading 14nm+ process technology
enables 7th Generation Intel Core to maximize performance while
being extremely power efficient to help enable these thin and light 2 in 1
designs.”
Acer Spin 7 – Extreme
Portability and Flexibility
Thinner than a standard DVD case, the Spin 7 is a mere 0.43 inches
thin (10.98 mm) and weighs just 2.6 pounds (1.2 kgs),
providing extreme portability and flexibility. Its 13-inch all-aluminum uni-body
houses a 14-inch Full HD IPS Corning® Gorilla® Glass touchscreen
display with a narrow bezel. Sleek and contemporary, its matte black chassis is
complemented with polished silver hinges and diamond-cut edges around the
touchpad. It offers up to 8 hours[3] of battery life.
As strong on the inside as it is on the outside, the Spin 7 offers
uncompromised performance with a 7th Generation Intel®
Core™ i7 processor, up to 8GB of memory and a speedy 256GB SSD. Dual
USB 3.1 Type-C ports are included for quick data transfers, connection to an
external display, and to charge the notebook. A wide glass touchpad helps
fingers glide smoothly across the surface with minimal friction.
Acer Spin 5 – Small
and Compact With 13.3-Inch Display and Optional Pen Input
The Spin 5 features Acer’s proprietary wobble-free 360 degree dual-torque hinge,
which makes it easy to open but prevents it from toppling over
when using the touchscreen. The crossed-hairline brush finish on the aluminum
top cover provides a fabric-like appearance, making the Spin 5 easy to grip
while also preventing the accumulation of messy fingerprints and smudges.
Spin 5 is powered by up to 7th Generation Intel Core
processors for incredible performance, up to 16GB of fast DDR4 memory and up to
512GB of SSD storage for fast boot up and data transfer. The Spin 5 delivers up to 10 hours3
of battery life for all-day productivity, and the bright 13.3-inch Full HD IPS
touchscreen display can be used with an optional Acer Active Pen with Windows
Ink. An HD webcam with HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging support provides clear,
bright and detailed images.
Acer Spin 3 – Larger
15.6-Inch Display and Dual Storage Support Make It Ideal for Work or Play
The Spin 3 features a 15.6-inch HD or Full HD IPS display and comes
with a sporty brushed-hairline finish. Solid performance is delivered with 6th
Generation Intel Core processors and up to 12GB of fast DDR4 memory. It also
features dual storage support, and comes with both solid state drives (up to
256GB) and hard drives (up to 1TB)[4], providing fast boot up times and ample storage for documents and
media. A backlit ergonomic keyboard with a 1.6 mm keystroke provides
for comfortable typing. It also includes an HD webcam with HDR imaging and
delivers all-day productivity with up to 9.5 hours3 of battery life.
Acer Spin 1 – Perfect for the Classroom or as a Second Computer
With ultra-affordable prices and up to 9 hours3 of
battery life, the Spin 1 is ideal for students or for use as a second computer.
The Spin 1 comes in models with 13-inch or 11.6-inch Full HD IPS displays, and
include configurations with all new Intel® Pentium® or
Celeron® processors. Designed with the classroom in mind, the Spin 1
(SP111-31) supports an Acer Active Pen with Windows Ink, and features a display
that’s covered with Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass[5], made possible by embedded antimicrobial ionic silver that lasts
the lifetime of the touch surface.
