Скачать или смотреть Acer Spin 7 SP714-51-M09D Convertible Notebook Review

Acer's 14-inch system with a thickness of just 11 millimeters certainly looks nice. However, the stability reaches its limits, although the maintainability is great in return. The Kaby Lake ULV is no performance miracle, and it is pretty disappointing compared to its predecessor. Read our review to find out why the display is great but still gets a point deduction.

It is an ambitious concept, but the devil is in the details. Acer's Spin 7 (without "Aspire") is a new series consisting of ultra-thin 360-degree convertibles. We reviewed the 14-inch model SP714-51-M09D, which had a bit of a shaky start with the Kaby Lake Y-CPU (4.5 Watt TDP) in terms of CPU and application performance: The Skylake predecessor is sometimes faster. We did like the compact and light chassis, but the thin bottom panel and the missing stability of the chassis affected the good visual impression.

The thin chassis looks good, but we miss some stability. The actually good display suffers from high color deviations ex-works, but calibration can help.

The good and very big ClickPad with the distinct feedback is thwarted by a keyboard with shallow travel and limited feedback. The display is basically glowing but also convinces with high contrast ratios. The colors are unfortunately not very accurate ex-works. Calibration can change that, but what customer has a spectrophotometer at home? You can improve the situation with the linked color profile in the box, although the results won't be as good compared to manual calibration.

The easy maintenance via the large bottom panel is exemplary. Then there are only the bad webcam and the thin speaker sound left.

he Kaby Lake ULV cannot fully convince us; the SoC is often at the bottom of the ranking, even compared to the previous Core m5.
