The previous Spin 5 came with a dim panel and Acer partially addressed that with the new model by going with a different screen. There’s also a fingerprint sensor integrated with the clickpad, a bit small, but one that works fine with Windows Hello. The surface rattles when tapped firmly on the lower half though, and the physical clicks are a bit loud and stiff, but overall I’d say most of you will find this good enough. It’s an Elan plastic surface with very few tweaking options, but it works well out of the box and provides a consistent experience with everyday use. Overall, I feel this laptop aces the aesthetics and it’s a bit different than anything else available out there.įor mouse Acer went with a fairly large clickpad indented into the middle of the palm-rest and flanked by a beveled edge.

We’ve already spent time with the Spin 5 SP513-52N in a configuration with an Intel Core i5-8250U CPU, which I believe makes the most sense on it. As of the Fall of 2017 Acer updated it with a new generation, the Spin 5 SP513-52N, which improves on many of the predecessors traits: gets a full metal construction, a better screen with pen support, a larger battery, a nicer keyboard and Intel’s KabyLake-R processors inside.Īll these come with a bump in price as well, but overall the newer Spin 5 is a step-up from the previous generation.
