Hi Guys,
Acer today 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 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 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 continues 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.”

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 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 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.
