Acer recently announced the new Spin 7 convertible notebook. According to the company, this model hones in on productivity, with 5G connectivity supporting both mmWave and sub-6 GHz frequencies.
The new Spin 7 is powered by the cx Gen 2 5G compute platform. Also, the notebook features a 360-degree hinge. This allows users to choose a form factor that allows for the highest productivity deepening on the task.

According to Acer, this is important because it allows the notebook to improve its battery life and allow for “premium entertainment experiences,” Additionally, with the Spin 7’s Full HD IPS display, the device’s noise cancellation and noise suppression (ECNS) tech should allow for a pretty immersive experience.

5G connectivity
The Spin 7 uses both the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G compute platform with the Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System. This allows the notebook to support 5G connectivity across both mmWave and sub-6 GHz frequencies, with download speeds up to 7.5 Gbps.
“Where available, users can expect fast and reliable 5G connections. The speed, low-latency and independence offered by 5G connectivity means that the Spin 7 can keep up with the demands of modern business,” said Acer.
