- When it comes to buying a thin and light 2 in 1 laptop for video editing, motion design, and even 3D modeling it is hard to find one with the performance and color accuracy you need at a decent price-point. ►⏩►⏩ Check specs and pricing in the links below…
💻 Acer Spin 5 ( geni.us/Spin5-i710 - Commission Earned )
⚡ Wacom Creative Tablet ( geni.us/Intuos-Creative-Tablet - Commission Earned )
If you’re on a mid-sized budget then the powerful, color-accurate, Wacom infused Acer Spin 5 may be the laptop for you.
As I pull the Spin 5 out of the box I am greeted by an all-aluminum chassis, keyboard deck, and side panels making this laptop not only durable but also thin and light. Weighing in at just 2.65 Lbs at barely over a half-inch thick (0.59 inches) I am pretty amazed by this laptop.
What about the on the go capability of the Acer Spin 5?
Acer Spin 5 Battery: 56 Wh: 7.25 Hours Web browsing / 5-6 hours Design and Video Editing
But how does a laptop this thin and light perform? Well, hold tight because later in the video we are going to dive into some tests for video editing, motion design, 3D modeling, and more. We will even check out the thermals, noise, and component usage.
The Acer Spin 5 comes with a good variety:
Acer Spin 5 Ports:
x2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1
x2 USB-C 3.1 (DisplayPort)
HDMI 2.0
Micro SD Slot
Mic/headphone combo
As I pull open the lid of the Acer Spin 5 2 in 1, which does take two hands, I am face-to-face with a bright, vibrant, and color accurate 13.5 in 3x2 2k display behind Corning Gorilla Glass for an extra layer of protection to the laptop. The slim bezels are subtle making the vibrant screen stand out even more.
Acer Spin 5 color gamut
Concerning the screen capabilities, I am happy to say that it can reach a Color Gamut Range of 100% sRGB - 79% Adobe RGB - 80% DCI-P3 and has a screen max brightness of 415 nits.
This screen means business and concerning creators, it is a great screen at this price point. You will be hard-pressed to find anything on the current market that is this good at this price. Acer is stepping up and serving the needs of creators.
The hinges on the Acer Spin 5 are strong and secure offering a smooth open and close of the lid as well as only a slight bit of screen flex between them.
Now it is time to jump into one of the two most important considerations of this laptop. The 2 in 1 screen with the built-in pen. First, let’s start with the pen. It is stored in the charging dock on the right side of the keyboard deck.
15 seconds of charging can give you 90 minutes of operating time. So basically if your pen goes dead all you need to do is plug it into the charging dock, jump up for a refresh on your coffee, and then get right back to work.
Now what makes this laptop truly special, especially at this price point, is the collaboration between Acer and Wacom to produce a screen/pen combination capable of achieving 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity.
The pen sensitivity on the Acer Spin 5 is truly excellent and I found that masking out my thumbnails was a breeze with this laptop. As you can see I am able to edit the intensity and size of my brush by merely applying more and less pressure to the screen.
Acer Spin 5 tech specs:
CPU: Intel 10th Gen Core i7-1065G7 (4 Cores 8 Threads)
GPU: Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Storage: 512B NVMe SSD
Cinebench R20: 1249 - Not a great benchmark. Coming in last place out of all of the recent laptops I have reviewed on my channel. This is not necessarily a laptop you want to use for 3D modeling. This is further confirmed when we look at the other 3D software such as:
Autodesk 3DS Max: 24.07
Autodesk Maya: 24.31
PTC Creo: 1.8
Solidworks: 8.08
Even the Blender classroom test encountered some struggles.
Blender Classroom (GPU): 34:36
Geekbench CPU Single Core: 1042 / Multi-Core 3297
It took 11:24 seconds to render out the 7240 motion design frames in the project. With the integrated gpu it is definitely slower than a dedicated gpu, but no slouch.
Now for the video editing tests I am going to take a 9-minute 4k clip, place it into Premiere Pro and DaVanci Resolve, and export it out at 4k and 1080p CZcams settings.
Premiere Pro 4k Export to 4k - 7:13
DaVinci Resolve 4k Export to 4k - 21:58
Premiere Pro 4k to 1080p - 2:51
DaVinci Resolve 4k Export to 1080p - 10:5

Thank you so much for your content! We have been searching for a great, mid level laptop to purchase for our business. Color accuracy for photo and video editing is very important to us when it comes to creating our marketing materials, and finding a balance between something affordable but also higher quality has been a very frustrating challenge. We just purchased this computer via the link, and are so grateful for your reviews, which helped us through this process!
Brilliant presentation Ben, I been thinking about purchasing this laptop for some time now.
Hi Ben, thanks for the detailed review. I was in the market , last night, to get a new laptop ( mostly for outside work , connecting testing devices ) and I found this beautiful lightweight machine.
I didn’t buy anything last night but after watching your review , and few others , I have made up my mind . I will get one today.
Hopefully it will last me great amount of time.
Thanks again for the detailed review.
Thank you
Hi I was actually looking to get the Acer spin 713 and was wondering if you could tell me.the difference in these two. Or which you think is better. Thank you so much
Sir what about spin 5 sp513 series
8Gb ram and 128Ssd sir can I use Adobe softwares on it like Adobe premier and after effects??
Great vid man!!!
Really enjoyed it!!!
Super informative!!!
Would you recommend Acer spin 5 or ASU’s tuf a15 for DaVinci???
The Asus will be faster, but the Spin is much more color accurate, runs cooler, and has a much better build quality.
Can you make a video about the new version of the spin 5 with the 11th Gen of the i7 CPU?
Hi Ben I noticed this particular model is the newer version I believe. I mistaked this spin 5 with the one I have been eyeing online (SP513-53N) and wanted to ask if its still good to get this one as someone whos a uni student who needs to type dissertations but also wants to be able to do digital art as a side hobby (paint tool sai, etc) thank you I hope you can reply back soon
How does the Acer spin5 screen compares to the HP envyx360's one?
I'm finding the 2K 2256 x 1504 IPS screen rather interesting, but I don't know if it looks noticeable better than the WLED 1920 x 1080 on the HP
Is the screen laminated or is there a noticable air gap between the glass and the screen when drawing?
Hello I'm planning to buy this laptop.Can I ask what version of adobe premiere really works best in this laptop?
How does the Spin 5 compare to the Lenovo Yoga C940?
Great video! Would this be a good starting laptop for music production? I will also be using it for video editing as well, so this video helps a lot! Thank you!
Yes, it is a solid choice for those use cases.
What about 4k video editing?Is that going to lag?
Hello does the keyboard backlit?
Hey What does editing 4k at 4th quality mean ?
Is this better than the swift 5 for video editing?
Can I use this laptop to work with GIS softwares like Arcgis ?
Great video 👍🏿
Would you recommend this for someone who wants to draw? Would you pick this over iPad Air?
Thank you, 🙏
I would personally pick this because it doubles as a 1080p video editing machine and can handle the full Adobe CC Design Suite. :)
Re: ports and connections, I've read reviews saying the Spin 5's USB ports are poorly built/implemented. To be specific, they mentioned that connected USB devices won't go all the way in the port. Another review mentioned the awkward placement of the stylus pen & the faulty/'laggy' fingerprint reader. Are all these claims true and should they be causes for concern? Am seriously considering this 2-in-1 and I hope you can help. Thanks in advance for the great video 😊
Can I buy acer concept d5 ..base varient i5 8th generation for photoediting please rply me
Hey im not good at laptop thingy but can acer spin 5 run valorant?? Plsss answ
Is this computer has a front camera?
hi ben, theres an upcoming laptop from redmi which is the RedmiG it has 3 variants: i5-10th gen with 60hz, i5 10th gen and i7 10th gen both has 144hz. i hope you get your hands on those and make a review on it!
Hi there from Argentina. Great review! I'm thinking on buying this specific device, but I would like to ask you something. Have you experienced any thermal issues? Does it run way too hot while pushing it to the limits?
I have included thermal benchmarks in the video.... you can watch the video at 11:50 to see all the thermal benchmarks I tracked during my tests.
I got this laptop and it did get too hot that i was unable to turn it on. To solve the issue i bought a set of leg footings that raise up the bottom for better ventilation. Beside that this 2 in 1 is awesome. Love this laptop.
are the ram and ssd user upgradable?
hi Ben just wanna ask if 60hz refresh rate monitor work well in video editing? thanks a lot bro.
Yes it does
hey Ben, great video!
would you recommend zenbook 14 i7 16gb ram, 1tb ple SSD integrated graphics
for graphic design? please let me know
i am confused between that and hp pavilion gaming with almost same specs!
msi prestige 15 is out of stock where i live
PLEASE HELP
Yeah, the ZenBook is a great pick for your needs.
@@BenGKaiser please confirm...you recommend the zenbook with dedicated graphics (zenbook 14 i7 16gb ram, 1tb ple SSD integrated graphics), over this spin 5 i7 16gb, 500ssd HD) for graphic design (photoshop, illustrator and potentially premiere pro)? Thanks Ben
Hello Ben, I want to buy a video editing laptop with very good color accuracy (I am not a pro but working on drawings with several people) and I am watching your videos since a couple of days from France, thank you they are very useful. I am quite excited by the Acer ConceptD line-up, and currently hesitating between the ConceptD 3 (maybe the new one with GTX 1650 Ti) and ConceptD 5. The ConceptD 5 looks very interesting with the GTX 1660 Ti, but I have doubts concerning a 4k display over 1080p for a laptop.
Is it ok with softwares scaling and daily use scaling? If you think 4k is great, which laptop would you recommend between the ConceptD 5 and the Gigabyte Aero 15 (GTX 1660 Ti version)?
Thanks again for your videos, keep on doing them! (Sorry if my English is not perfect)
Oh man! you just mentioned one of my favorite laptops (Gigabyte Aero 15). The big difference between the ConceptD 5 and the Gigabyte is honestly going to be how loud the laptop runs. The conceptD line-up are meant to run quiet, whereas the Gigabyte is not. If you want a quiet and powerful laptop go with the ConceptD 5. If you don't care then go with the Gigabyte. :)
Hope this helps.
@@BenGKaiser Yes, thank you :)
Why do you prefer the Gigabyte? And what do you think of having a 4k panel on a 15.6 inch laptop?
Is it worth for premiere and Photoshop ?
Hey Ben! Great Review! Can you do a comparison with the XPS 13 2-1 and acer spin 5 😁
I do not have the Dell XPS available to me, so I don't think I will be able to do a hands on review. :(
Sorry to disappoint.
It’s alright! I appreciate the notice Ben!
How this one stack up against dell xps 13 2 in 1?
It will be similar in performance.
Hey from france! Do you think this laptop is a good deal for aéronautical engenering studies? With catia and stuff like that
If you're using CAD software I would recommend the Asus Zephyrus G14 - geni.us/G14-R7-4800HS or something similar.

@@BenGKaiser okay thank you😁
great video. I don't game, but I'm looking for a trading laptop. Would you suggest ryzen 5 or 7? also does the graphics card really matter, 1650 ti or a 2060 or is it more important to have 16 gigs of RAM or 24 g b rather than a powerful graphics card for trading? looking at the legion 5 but it's only a ryzen 5 Thanks for your help
I am not sure what you mean by trading? Are you referring to stock trading?
@@BenGKaiser yes stock trading so i'm not sure what to focus on CPU, graphics card and ram amount or?
Hi Ben, Ive decided to get an acer spin5, I can't however, find these specs online through your links or searching etc. I can find an i5 at 16 gb or i7 at 8gb. Am i missing something or looking in the wrong place?
I believe these are the specs you're looking for - geni.us/Spin5-i710
@@BenGKaiser Thank you Ben G. you are a very dedicated teacher.k
am I seeing things like IdeaPad Flex 5 beating this machine? I mean.. many reviews stated that Flex 5 is kinda mediocre (or half-assed) 2-in-1
Can you make a video on predator Triton 300(2020) and compare it for designing and gaming
I am currently reviewing the Acer Predator Helios 300. I may be able to get the Triton from Acer after I finish this one, but no promises.
@@BenGKaiser wow cool....
Liked first before watching
Legend!
Same!!! 💙👍🌟
Should I get this for $899, is that a good deal?
I can't wait to ee this laptop benchmarks with tiger lake i5 1135g7 of 1165g7, it could perform much better, my wife needs such a device and acer is going in right direction with this, aspect ratio, 2k etc, if only thinkbook 14s lenovo had this screen, it has upgradeable ram😑
6:40 I feel like the latency is abit too much
Hey Ben ! I love all the vidoes u make, the way u speak, etc...

Ben, I'm looking for a laptop that runs cool, between 1000-1500, 16gb ram, 15 inch and can run all the adobe creative cloud software smoothly. Any recommendations???
