Thin and light notebooks on the market a lot, in fact, every self-respecting the manufacturer is committed to ensuring that beat rival record or improve your figure. The Acer company, of course, has not gone away and has released an incredibly thin novelty – an 11-millimeter laptop Acer Spin 7 review. The device performance below average, however, it is an excellent option for use at home, school, leisure traveling, etc.
DESIGN
Acer Spin 7 review of the housing is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, which makes it durable, but at the same time and light. He has a smooth matte finish, unfortunately, Marco operation. With a black cap contrast silver manufacturer’s logo in the middle. At the same steel-colored and made a loop, whose main task – to hold the device in position. With this, they are coping, though imperfectly, because the hinge mechanism could be tighter.
Interior presented of the Acer Spin 7 review has the 14-inch screen, with almost no side frames. On its upper face is the front-facing webcam, on the bottom – a small company logo. The keyboard is slightly recessed into the surface, it seems convenient and suitable for long typing. Acer Spin 7 reviewAcer Spin 7 – transformer, which can take one of four positions: a laptop, a tablet, and a presentation of the console. Thus, a single device can work, play, run presentations, surf the Internet, in short, the list of activities is almost unlimited. In order to use the device in the selected mode, just lock the lid to the desired angle.
The extent to which a mobile device can be found based on its size and weight. Thus, the device size of the following – 325h230h11 mm, moreover, it is relatively light – only 1.6 kg. In general, Acer Spin 7 – the perfect solution for users who do not sit on the ground.
DISPLAY, AUDIO, AND WEBCAM
The 14-inch screen has a Full HD-resolution (157 ppi). The maximum rate very high brightness – 345 cd / m2 black level – 0.26 cd / 2, so we get delicious contrast, namely 1323: 1. There is a built-in ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness depending on the lighting. The display is completely covered with glass Corning Gorilla Glass, which protects it from minor mechanical damage. At the same time it has a glossy surface, then direct sunlight should be avoided.
The device Acer Spin 7 review uses a matrix of IPS. Accordingly, we have wide viewing angles, which is especially important for the transformer, which is able to take as many as four positions. Compliance with sRGB color space – 89%, Adobe RGB – only 58%. We conclude that the device is not suitable for professional use, say, photographer or designer. But for the home or office work – what you need! The screen is the touch screen, capacitive, it supports 10 simultaneous touches fingers.
If we evaluate the acoustics of Acer Spin 7 review in the context of a 14-inch form factor, it is pretty good. Two small lattices Dolby Audio stereo speakers located on the bottom of the device, and if it stands on a soft surface, the sound becomes muffled. Pronounced bass you hear high frequencies left a similar impression. wheezing does not appear at maximum volume, that’s good. Sound enough for a small room, but if you want to improve the quality, just use headphones.
The webcam resolution – 1280×720 pixels. Its main task is to a video call with a webcam than copies. Of course, you can try to take pictures with it, but the detail and quality of the image as a whole are likely to disappoint you.
KEYBOARD AND TOUCHPAD
The keyboard of the Acer Spin 7 review is made on island principle, therefore, around each of its buttons provided islet space. This is very convenient because It minimizes the risk of the accidentally hurt nearby button. They square buttons, neat, with white markings. The key travel is short, the feedback is rather weak. The keyboard is not backlit, which complicates its use at night.
The layout of the buttons is not too dense, their location, perhaps, is called traditional. So, [Enter] – single-row, [Shift], located below it, it has an elongated shape. A similar view of the opposite [Shift]. A switch unit is small, it is kept apart, so get on the buttons is a snap. Numpad is absent.
Under the keyboard of the Acer Spin 7 review is placed touchpad impressive size, with catches just how much he pulled into his eyes. Pointing rectangular, it has clear boundaries, so it is easy even groped in the dark. At the same time it is easily soiled, so by fingerprints will have to get rid of quite often. As the functionality, it has support for multi-touch gestures. Some physical keys at the touch pad are not available, instead of them – built.
PERFORMANCE
Acer Spin 7 review (NX.GKPER.002) runs on Windows 10, 64-bit operating system. As the processor uses a dual-core Intel Core i7-7Y75 with a range of operating frequencies 1.3-3.6 GHz. Not without Hyper-Threading Technology, allowing the chip is capable of handling up to 4 simultaneous data streams. CPU is made according to the standards 14 nm process, has 4 MB cache level 3, and consumes up to 4.5 watts of power.
Together with the processor performance over the “works” video card Intel HD Graphics 615. It has 24 actuators, the clock frequency of which can be increased up to 1050 MHz. The graphics support DirectX 12, it is able to pull even some toys demanding, of course, on the lowest settings, dating from no later than 2014.
The amount of laptop memory – 8 GB standard LPDDR3-1866 MHz. fast SSD with a capacity of 256 GB is provided for storing information.
PORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
Let’s see what surprises prepared by the manufacturer of the interfaces. So, on the right side, you can see the two-port USB Type-C (one with charging function) as well as the combined audio jack.
The left side houses only physical buttons, namely, the volume rocker and the power button device. Here – a slot for a Kensington lock.
The very small variety of sensors: accelerometer, gyroscope, and light sensor. As for the wireless communications, the user’s possession of the Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac and Bluetooth 4.1.
BATTERY
The Acer Spin 7 review is 4-cell lithium-polymer battery capacity of 2770 mAh (42 Wh). Indicators of autonomy rather modest, especially given the 14-inch form factor devices. Thus, in a simple notebook will last about 10 hours, to sit on the Internet will no more than 5.5 hours. Unfortunately, the maximum load will plant the device already for 1.5-2 hours. Theoretically, a transformer is able to “live” the whole time, however, only in combination mode (eg, alternating with idle Web surfing).
By the way, in the device does not have a fan, so it runs completely silently. A few words about the heat: under severe stress bottom of the notebook warms up, but not to the critical point. However, with web surfing, working on documents, etc. problems and problem-existent.
CONCLUSION
Virtues have a lot of Acer Spin 7 review: Full HD-screen with good brightness and contrast, ergonomic keyboard, the ability to transform into one of the four modes, rugged design with quality materials. Indeed, these qualities are very important for any modern device.
Disadvantages unfortunately also available. So, it should be noted excessively soiled body, due to which the laptop is very quickly covered with dust and fingerprints. Performance hardly make on someone strong impression for everyday tasks, such as watching videos, it is enough, but will play in a few games that were released for at least a couple of years ago. We also did not appreciate the poor set of ports and a small battery autonomy. The laptop price in the described configuration is, on average, $ 1,600. Well, forgive disadvantages or not – a private matter of each user.
