Ahead of next week's Computex, Acer has introduced its newest computing devices which includes the latest version of the Spin 1 — a sleek, lightweight convertible notebook.
The new Acer Spin 1 is a stylish 2-in-1 laptop designed for creatives who are always on the go. With this device, users can utilize four different modes: laptop, display, tablet and tent. It is also very easy to bring along as it is ultra-thin at just 14 mm and ultra-light at just 2.76 pounds.
Housed in a sleek, all-metal chassis, the Spin 1 features an 11.6-inch IPS touchscreen display with a resolution of 1,920 x 1080 pixels. It has Acer Bluelight Shield, which helps prevents eye strain from prolonged screen exposure.
