Acer Spin 7 Price
Acer Spin 7 is offered in a single color option- Steam Blue. It is priced at Rs. 1,34,999 in India and will be sold via Acer exclusive stores, Acer official website, and other partner stores.
Alternative
Considering the price point, it will compete with HP Spectre x360 13, which is powered by a 10th-Gen Intel Core i5 processor, features a 13-inch thin-bezel display, fingerprint scanner, comes with 4G LTE connectivity, and weighs 1.3kg, priced at Rs. 1,29,999.
5G connectivity of Acer Spin 7 gives it an edge over the HP Spectre x360, however, 5G is yet to be rolled in India, and people who opt for Acer Spin 7 have to use it with 4G LTE. It will be an interesting competition between the two premium range convertible laptops.
