TL;DR: The 2-in-1 Acer Spin 5 is a serious Dell XPS competitor and it’s only $799.99 at Amazon right now, saving you $200.


You would think that wanting a 2-in-1 laptop specifically would make your decision easier, but not really.

When storage capacities, screen resolutions, and battery lives all seem to blur together, you’ll need some stand out feature to help you make your decision. If you’re not immediately sold when you hear that the Acer Spin 5 has Amazon Alexa built-in, you will be when you find out it’s on sale for $799.99 at Amazon today.

The Lenovo Yoga and Dell XPS 15 are two of the Spin 5’s closest competitors, and both of them are over $1,000 at their cheapest. With Acer’s low price point and Alexa, the competition is just unfair at this point.

Most budget-friendly convertible laptops aren’t made for creative endeavors. Students can take notes or sketch, but most processors can’t handle power-sucking design apps. The Acer Spin 5 is armed with an 8th gen Intel Core i7 processor, which is the same processor used in the MacBook Pro. You’ll finally be able to experience multiple tasks running simultaneously without the loading screen of doom, and a GeForce GTX 1050 even makes legit PC gaming an option.

If your hands are too busy to use the touchscreen, just ask Alexa to change the song, launch an app, or lower the brightness.

Regularly $999.99, you can save $200 and get it for $799.99 with Prime shipping.
