Update on Acer spin 1

published

Went to JB HI FI to have the Acer computer looked bc the keyboard was not working. You would press for a number 8 and get something else.
Good news! It is fixed! 5 minutes with the computer man and it was done.

Purchased in February 2021 at JB Hi-Fi.

Not too bad.

published

I bought this computer after my trusty old one finally died. It is a touch slow but it does the job I need it for. I would recommend this product for a student or someone who just wants to use it for Facebook ect.



Purchased in August 2021 at JB Hi-Fi for A$399.00.

Acer Spin 1 11.6 SP111-33-C7RJ excellent value for money

published

I just bought one of these smaller 2in1 laptops and am very happy with the performance so far and a price of just $320.00. The Celeron processor and internet/wifi speeds operate efficiently and with very little hesitation. I downloaded MS Office 2016 Home and Student for general home use and study (I didn't want the free 1 year trial MS office included) and opening and editing documents in Word and Excel is as fast if not faster than my i5 Quadcore desktop PC. I played a recorded webinar on it and there was no stopping or glitching. The touchscreen and touchpad operate smoothly and are very responsive. Overall I would definately suggest you consider this over the much more expensive bigger brand products (depending on what you use it for).

Purchased in March 2021 at Officeworks Online store for A$320.00.

Loving it! Just wanted something easy to type and watch youtube

published

I've wanted just an easy laptop for ages, and being on special I couldn't resist. Way more impressed with this than ever expected. It was never going to be a laptop replacement with these specs; but for basic typing, internet, watching netflix etc it is just fantastic. Light, multiple ways to stand it and even flips fully back on itself to be a tablet only. The touchscreen makes it even easier to use.
Only downsides are I wish one could avoid Win 10 and the updates, esp given it's small memory size. And, I do wish it had come with a pen/stylus.

A toy in tools clothing

published

Bought this to replace my Dell which was having issues, ( slow running etc ). The Acer Spin has little to offer to start with and goes down hill from there. Slow to start, programs that close without warning, anti virus windows that open endlessly, It is basically a digital sketchpad masquerading as a work tool. The most annoying thing I have ever bought, I've given to the kids to use for drawing.
A total disappointment.

It's actually pretty good. I can get about 8-10 hours once fully charged and it still has charge left when I plug it in (:

I have trouble with the mouse pad on the Spin 1. is it possible to buy a proper hand held mouse that will work with the Spin 1 please? I have never liked these integral mouse pads on laptops and always prefer to work with a mouse with a lead and USB connector. I tried using a mouse from my bigger, older laptop but the USB plug doesn't fit any of the ports on the Spin 1. Please advise. Thanks Tania

Yes you can
I attach a wired mouse and use this whenever I am working at a desk
The USB port works fine for this

yep, the Spin 1 has ports on both sides, my old mouse fits on the right side port near the power button.

Thank you yes I finally found it. At first I couldn't fit it in the port seemed too small but I got there in the end!
