Yeah, I can tell, it’s quite a list of items just in the title itself, but Acer really went all excited announcing the slew of products one after another, it took me a little time to digest them. Now that I’ve digested them, I’ll break them down into smaller chunks for you to understand.

We have two laptops to begin with; Acer Spin 5 and Acer Swift 3. Acer’s Spin series are convertibles notebooks that can transform into pretty much any mode that you desire: Laptop mode, Tablet mode, Tent mode or even Display Frame mode. Acer’s Swift series are slim and sleek notebooks for extra portability. That’s as simple as it gets. Let’s get deeper into both of them.

Acer Spin 5

The Acer Spin 5 actually has several key points and the one that I loved the most is the “in your face” speakers. Don’t quote me, that’s actually what Acer tagged the TrueHarmony sound system! But I couldn’t think of a better tagline either. These speakers are always facing you regardless of the mode it is on. You want the details of this? Wait for our review soon :)

Powered under the hood is an 8th Gen Intel Core processors and 8GB DDR4 RAM, along with 256GB SSD Storage, the Acer Spin 5 is not all about twisting and turning. It does pack some serious punch under the hood. In fact, while the base models are using 13.3″ devices, there’s an elder brother with 15.6″ display packing an Nvidia GTX1050 4GB GPU! Well, not an MX150, of course but that’s totally fine! Oh, that’s still not the end yet.

Sporting a Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS touch display, these are LED-backlit TFT LCDs with support for Acer Active Stylus that delivers a remarkable experience through Windows Ink. It is also thinner by 21% measuring 15.9mm thin for the 13.3″ model, while the 15.6″ model is 17.9mm thin.

The price? I made a table for yall~

It is powered with 7th Gen Intel Core i3 processor with 4GB DDR4 RAM (upgradeable to 16GB) making it perfect for home multimedia usage. It has a frame that is 11mm thin at the top making it really a wonderful sight.

Pokdepinion: Acer never fails with the pricing. In the dire conditions of the economy, it’s really great to see a company making computers rather affordable to own. Hats off!
