Performance, autonomy of the Acer Spin 3 SP314-21N-R1BJ

The Acer Spin 3 SP314-21N-R1BJ is a thin and light compact High Definition laptop convertible into a Tablet for everyday use on the go.

It delivers good performance in this area, such as internet surfing and office automation, as it relies on a good amount of 8 GB RAM combined with an AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ryzen 3 3250U low power Picasso processor.

Of course, it should be borne in mind that under software demanding in processor resources, the AMD Ryzen 3 as well as the Intel Core i3 show their limits.

Within the Ryzen 3 Picasso takes place the Radeon Vega 3, a modest graphics solution that allows you to watch photos and videos. As it does not come with a dedicated graphics card, this 2-in-1 laptop PC is not suitable for heavy graphics work like gaming.

On the storage side, there is an SSD that is silent but also more robust than a hard drive, less energy and much faster.

Concretely thanks to the SSD, we obtain a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than with a simple hard drive. This implies, for example, much faster starts / stops and launches of applications.

Here we are dealing with a 256 GB SSD. If this capacity is sufficient for many uses, it is inferior to the standard of hard disks.
If more space is needed, an external storage unit can be used. Favoring a USB-C / USB 3.0 device then represents an interesting option to benefit from fast transfers.

As for the autonomy of this hybrid laptop convertible into Tablet whose finesse, compactness and lightness facilitate transport, bet on approximately 5 hours of battery operation in light use.
