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 (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 (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.

Acer Spin 3 review: A decent laptop hybrid with a nice screen

 

The Acer Spin 3 joins a lineup of other laptops on the market trying to take full advantage of Windows 10's touch interface, read the full review inside!

Price point is affordable ; Robust build ; Decent display ; Four use modes

Offset trackpad ; Bloatware ; Felt a little sluggish ; Heavy ; Doesn't have great viewing angles ; Quite a bit of glare

The Acer Spin 3 is heavy but has a robust build. Viewing angles and glare need improving, and the amount of bloatware preinstalled is off the charts. This is a good laptop for the average user but power users and the tech minded crowd may want to look...

Acer Spin 3 (SP314-54N) review – Spin 5’s little brother is a good device but has its drawbacks

 

Acer seemed to have fallen back on convertible laptops for a while. However, after their pretty successful Spin 5 update, we were looking forward to the alleged Spin 3. And now we have it in our of…

Thunderbolt 3 and MicroSD card reader on board;Included stylus;Decent battery life;Its Full HD IPS panel has comfortable viewing angles and a good contrast ratio (BOE NV140FHM-N48);Good aluminum build;2x M.2 NVMe slots

Memory is soldered to the motherboard;Covers only 51% of sRGB (BOE NV140FHM-N48);Uses aggressive PWM for brightness adjustment (our Health-Guard profile fixes that) (BOE NV140FHM-N48)
