Review on Acer SP111 33 Laptop Windows Renewed by Micha Jelonek ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I am very upset, the product is no good.

Review based on the results of the year of active use. Very slow built-in card reader; I put a Samsung flash drive on 128GB, it works 5-6 times faster through a USB card reader than through the built-in one. In principle, you can use it, store files, but when downloading torrents to a USB flash drive, the laptop freezes tightly. Windows ates make the laptop dull for several hours, so for more or less comfortable work they have to be turned off. In general, if you do not expect much from him, he copes with simple tasks.

Pros
  • Robust all-metal body that retained its appearance despite the fact that the laptop was carried without a bag. The hinges haven't come loose yet. However, the small screws holding the bottom cover loosened on their own, and one fell out and got lost, this is disturbing. The keyboard does not flex when typing, as in other laptops in this price category, I personally find it convenient that actions are assigned to the F keys by default, such as volume up and down. The display is good - no PWM, with large viewing angles. The sound is loud and clear enough to watch videos. Large touchpad, which is convenient to use multi-touch gestures. Plays 4k video at 1.5x without any problems. It pulls old games - like Left4Dead2, which covers my gaming needs if I want to play something on the road on such a tiny device. Absolutely silent, does not heat up at any load above 50-60 degrees. Along with the laptop comes a bonus 100 GB of storage in Dropbox for a year - a trifle, but nice.
Cons
  • A slow processor, when buying this laptop, you should prepare for the uneven operation of the interface, for the fact that it will constantly think, slow down, open applications with a delay, leisurely load tabs in Chrome. Despite the rigidity of the lid, the screen managed to squeeze through in two places, in which there were visible light on a white background. The touchpad, despite its good work with multi-touch, can incorrectly process normal touches using the left physical button and lag / freeze - after all, dedicated buttons in Windows are more convenient. After waking up from sleep mode, it takes a long time to connect to wifi. Vkusovschina - annoying shiny Acer logo under the screen. The screen is glossy, and together with not the highest maximum brightness, this makes it not very convenient to use it in sunny weather. The battery has lost up to 80% of its original capacity in a year, and the autonomy is not even close to the declared one, in the mode of active use of heavy applications with normal brightness and an Internet connection, you should not count on 8, but on 3-4 hours, which is not surprising, given that battery capacity is less than in most modern smartphones. If you want to change the battery, a new original one costs about 2500r. The bundled stylus gives the impression of being less sensitive than advertised, but it's fine for quick sketching. There are magnets on the laptop case to fix the stylus, but they are not very strong, and the stylus constantly strives to break off them without permission. When you connect / disconnect the charger, the laptop emits a nasty loud squeak that cannot be turned off in the settings. There is no fingerprint scanner, if you set the unlock by pin, the laptop does not immediately show the keyboard when you exit sleep mode in tablet mode, which is inconvenient, but is solved by unlocking by picture. There is no USB-type C, and charging via it, which is inconvenient, you have to carry the original charger with your laptop (quite, however, compact). Heavier than it looks.
