Chassis, connections, screen of the Acer Aspire Spin 14 ASP14-52MTN-59ZA
This 2-in-1 laptop has a sober, elegant and yet original look with its compact, thin and light silver design that can be opened 360° to transform into a tablet.
The screen adopts multi-touch touch technology: by simple gestures/pressures of the stylus provided – which can be stored directly on the side of the PC – or at least one finger placed on it, you can control the Ultrabook.
Touch induces a glossy treatment which makes colors vivid but is sensitive to reflections in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).
Equipped with significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its IPS technology, the Full HD screen is also distinguished by its 16:10 format, the height of which is higher than the standard 16:9 allows more elements to be displayed.
Via the Windows Hello functionality, biometric authentication is possible through the integrated fingerprint reader.
In a dimly lit environment, you can activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard to better distinguish the keys.
In terms of connectivity, this hybrid laptop PC is well equipped since it offers no less than 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ensuring very fast transfers in addition to 2 USB 3.2 for easily connecting peripherals, Wi-Fi 6E ax and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless modules and for remote connections and communications, an audio port as well as a practical HDMI video output for easily connecting it to a TV or a projector for example.
Performance, battery life of the Acer Aspire Spin 14 ASP14-52MTN-59ZA
The Acer Aspire Spin 14 ASP14-52MTN-59ZA is a compact laptop convertible into a tablet designed for everyday use on the go.
As its battery life is around 10 hours in light use, this 2-in-1 Ultrabook will delight nomads and some looking for a Student laptopespecially since it is easy to transport because it is compact, thin and light.
To offer such autonomy it relies on energy-efficient components such as the low-consumption processor, an Intel Core Ultra 5 115U Raptor Lake Refresh. However, this one makes do with 8 hybrid cores compared to at least 12 cores for most Core Ultra 100Us. But it still has an Iris Xe graphics solution.
Coupled with 16 GB of RAM, the Core Ultra 5 115U delivers good performance in everyday use, such as web browsing, watching photos and videos including streaming or even office automation.
Small games can run on this hybrid laptop which can be used occasionally for light multimedia processing using multi-cores and RAM, such as very modest photo editing.
In any case, processing operations such as starts/stops, application launches and more generally the general operation of the 2-in-1 laptop PC benefit from the great responsiveness/fluidity provided by the very fast, silent and energy-efficient SSD.
Like many models on the market, including (much) more expensive ones, this Ultrabook has a 512 GB SSD to install and store a lot of software and files.
What if we need additional space? It can be extended by simply plugging in an external storage device, avoiding USB 2.0 media to maximize transfer speed, very fast in Thunderbolt.
