Portability, reliability, simplicity, and value.
Aesthetically, this is an attractive device. Although the chassis is made almost entirely of plastic, it is of decent quality, and the silver finish does give the impression of being actual metal. The laptop is lightweight with a small profile, making it highly portable. The keyboard is of good size with keys that have good travel which are satisfying to type on. I wish they were backlit, though. The bezels are huge, especially the chin, making the screen seem smaller than it is. Still, the IPS screen is perfect for the 1366x768 resolution (720p+) as it looks crisp, and the brightness does well in daylight. I appreciate the damage-resistant, Gorilla Glass touchscreen but is highly reflective under bright lights and sun. This is my first experience with a Chromebook laptop. Setting up the PC is super simple enough. Chrome OS is straightforward. The Google app store offers most apps, including android. However, some apps such as MS Office are not available, but can be accessed through the browser. The Spin 11 specs are on the low end, from memory to space, which does make the experience a little bit sluggish. However, it should be enough for most users as this device is intended for productivity, browsing, and content consumption. It helps that it does not overheat, making it great for couch use. I will say that I am impressed by the lighting-fast booting times. The battery life is remarkable. I used the device for long periods and didn’t have to recharge it for 3 days. You can’t have this on most tablets, let alone a laptop. This provides me peace of mind while on the go. It charges fast via USB-C. Speaking of inputs, the laptop offers a USB-C (3.1), USB (2.0), and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is the minimum one would expect. I am a bit disappointed that this device offers outdated Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2. Still, I had no issues with either protocol. Being a 2-1 device, it can be used in several ways such as “tent” and tablet mode. Since this is a touch screen, it works well in either mode. The keyboard “deactivates” to avoid accidental key presses. This is pretty cool and welcome, but I will say that handling it in tablet mode can be a bit cumbersome, as it weighs 2.3 lbs. (again, light for a laptop), and holding it in one hand can be tiring, so I tend to lay it on my forearm for support. Lastly, the speakers are louder than I had expected. As is the case with most laptops, there is no real bass to speak of. Still, the sound is quite clear and natural with minimal distortion. I would still use headsets when possible. The camera is not too shabby either. Even at a 720p resolution, it is clear and responds well to lighting adjustments. The microphone picks up well enough. Oh, and a couple of camera sliders were included for those who worry about privacy -nice touch! In the end, I would consider the Acer Spin 11 a decent entry into the Chrome OS ecosystem. The sturdy build is a big plus for younger users. It offers a level of portability, reliability, simplicity, and versatility at a very budget-friendly price point.
