I've had this for less than a month and so far I have no complaints. It came in S mode, by default, which I turned off because I found it inconvenient. I love that this particular computer came with Microsoft office free trial, which I found very convenient. I will update this review if anything changes.

This Acer Spin 1 is a fantastic budget friendly Touch Notebook. I'm very pleased with it. It's attractive and has a sharp colorful display. At 14.1 mm thin and just 2.76 lbs, it's the perfect size to take just about anywhere. Setup was so easy, it walked me right through it step by step without any problems. The speed is good, audio is fine, the keyboard is comfortable to use, and with 8 hours I'm satisfied with the battery life. It boots up really fast. My favorite feature is being able to fold it backwards or flat, and switch into tablet mode. I use tablet mode the most. I do wish the webcam was better. At 0.3 mp it's very grainy. I do a lot with the webcam and selfies so this could use some improvement. But otherwise I don't have any other complaints. I don't think you can do heavy gaming with this but it's great for all of my small games. And it does support Game Mode. I'm having absolutely no problems with surfing, using Facebook, messenger, Office, email, playing my games, watching movies on Netflix, editing images, and Skyping. I'm still discovering the other things I can do. I'm very impressed with the make and the looks of this. It's very sharp looking. The color is an attractive grey steel with a shiny silver hinge area. It has a metal chassis, which saved me when it accidentally flew on the floor. I just about had a heart attack right on the spot when my cat flew up on the table and wiped everything out. I kid you not, she slid right across the table into my Acer, and it along with everything else hit the floor. But the Acer survived just fine and nothing was effected. The 360 degree hinge seems to be strong and should last a long time. The screen is 11.6 inches, 1920 x 1080 HD. This runs Windows 10 in S mode. I'm not fond of S mode simply because I can't find all of my apps in the Microsoft store. But S mode is a safety feature. You can only download apps from the Microsoft store. Microsoft has a ton of apps available but there are some that I use a lot that aren't available. You can take it out of S mode, but if you do I'm not sure if you can go back. Some of my main apps aren't available in the Microsoft Store so I might be trying to opt out of S mode soon. This has 4 GB memory and storage is a nice 64 GB. But there are 16.9 GB already used by pre-loaded stuff when you first get it, so that leaves you with only 41.2 GB free to start out with. This uses Intel HD Graphics 505. CPU Intel Pentium N4200 Quad Core. This also comes with a free year of Office 364. The laptop is 11.4 inches wide by 7.9 inches depth by 0.6 inches high. It has a USB 2.0 port, a USB 3.0 port, a HDMI port, space for a microSD, and a 3.5 audio jack. The battery is 4670 mAh 2-cell Li-Polymer. Mine is SP111-32N-P6CV.
