Product details

The Acer Spin 5 is a versatile and extremely mobile quick-change artist in a slim design: The notebook comes in a handy 13.5" form factor and weighs a feather-light 1.2 kg thanks to its aluminum-magnesium
chassis. With up to 14 hours of battery life, it won't let you down even on long workdays. Its tenth-generation Core i7 processor with Intel Iris graphics solution and 16 GB of fast DDR4 memory deliver impressive performance reserves for a wide range of office, web and multimedia applications. A lightning-fast PCIe-based solid-state drive serves as storage. The touchpad has an integrated fingerprint scanner for secure authentication.

The combination of 360° hinge and touch display allows the Spin 5 to be used not only as a productive notebook, but also as a handy tablet. Simply fold the keyboard behind the display. Alternatively, you can use the convertible in stand or tent mode for multimedia enjoyment. A special feature: This display also supports high-precision inputs via active input pens - ideal for fast Windows navigation, image editing and for drawing and sketching. In the scope of delivery you will find an active input pen that can be stored and charged in the case.

Windows 10 is intuitive and easy to use. It combines the features from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and enhances them with new features that make using your computer even faster and clearer. With Task View, for example, you don't lose the overview even if you have many windows open at the same time, and thanks to the new search function you can find your files even faster and easier. You'll find these and many other innovations in Windows 10.

Enjoy noticeably accelerated system and program startups: As a mass storage, a lightning-fast solid-state drive (SSD) provides the necessary storage space for your programs and files. The main advantage of SSDs is their fast access times and high read and write speeds, which put conventional hard drives in the shade. Another advantage is that SSDs contain no moving parts. This leads to increased robustness, as no parts wear out mechanically. Furthermore, this makes SSDs absolutely silent.
