Mark Coppock / Digital TrendsĬonnectivity is another strength. That’s an attribute typically found on more expensive machines. The hinge is well-tuned, allowing the lid to be opened with one hand while holding the display in place through all four modes - clamshell, tent, media, and laptop. My unit came in the usual semi-gloss silver found on so many laptops, and had only a few chrome pieces, including the Acer logo on the lid and hinge. The Spin 3 is an attractive if unsurprising 2-in-1. Tablet mode was a little chunky, but that’s true of all non-tablet 2-in-1s (including the Spectre x360 13). Still, I found the Spin 3 comfortable to carry and use in all of its different modes. That makes it heavy, but also thin, compared to the HP Spectre x360 13 at 0.67 inches and 2.88 pounds. Speaking of how it feels, the Spin 3 weighs about 3.08 pounds and is 0.62 inches thin. It’s an all-aluminum design this time around, where the previous version incorporated some plastic parts, and I can tell.
Its lid resists any twisting, the keyboard deck has zero flex, and the bottom of the chassis doesn’t budge with rough handling.
The Spin 3 feels far more solid than its price would suggest.
One benefit of Acer’s approach is that the wrist rest remains large and comfortable, unlike some tiny-bezel laptops where there’s barely enough room. The screen-to-body ratio is only 79%, meaning the Spin is not only less modern looking than the XPS 13, but it’s also larger than it could be. While Dell used close to the same display chassis size and simply filled it all with a 16:10 panel, leaving behind some tiny bezels and a 90% screen-to-body ratio, the Spin 3 has a large bezel on top and a surprisingly large chin on the bottom.
