Looking to sell your Acer Spin 3 convertible for cash? You're in the right place — and if you didn't know Gadget Salvation buys used laptops outright, our Acer trade-in service pays you directly rather than making you list, haggle, and ship to a stranger. The Spin 3 is Acer's long-running budget 2-in-1 line, sold across many years under several distinct model codes — the older 14-inch SP314-51 and SP314-52 (8th-gen Intel), the 14-inch SP314-54N (2020, 10th-gen Intel), the AMD SP314-21N, and the 13.3-inch 16:10 SP313-51N (2021, 11th-gen Intel). Because the "Spin 3" name covers so many internally different machines, your exact model code and configuration determine the final resale price. This page is not the larger Spin 5, the premium Spin 7, or any Acer Chromebook Spin — those are separate devices with their own quote pages. Match your model code below, then select your components using our tool above to view an instant cash offer for your exact Spin 3.

Which Acer Spin 3 do you have?

Every Spin 3 carries its full model code on the bottom cover (for example, SP314-54N or SP313-51N). Because generations differ in screen size, aspect ratio, processor family, and ports, confirming the code is the single most important step before requesting a quote. The most common variants we buy are:

SP314-51 / SP314-52 — 14" (2018–2019)

Original 14-inch 16:9 Full HD generation on 8th-gen Intel Core (i3/i5/i7 U-series) with Intel UHD 620 graphics. Distinguished by its thicker bezels and DDR4 SO-DIMM memory.

SP314-54N — 14" (2020)

10th-gen "Ice Lake" refresh with Intel Iris Plus graphics, Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C, and soldered LPDDR4 memory. The most widely sold Spin 3 in the US market.

SP314-21N — 14" (AMD)

AMD Ryzen variant (Ryzen 3/5/7 3000-series) with Radeon Vega integrated graphics. Same 14-inch 16:9 chassis, but an AMD platform rather than Intel.

SP313-51N — 13.3" (2021)

13.3-inch 16:10 taller-display generation on 11th-gen Intel Core (i3/i5/i7) with Iris Xe graphics, offered in Full HD and sharp WQXGA (2560×1600) panels. Soldered LPDDR4X memory.

Audio

Dual stereo speakers with Acer's audio tuning (DTS Audio on several configurations) plus Acer Purified Voice dual microphones for clearer calls.

Ports & connectivity

Port layout varies by generation — the biggest difference is USB-C capability, which affects docking and charging value. Confirm against your own chassis.

Left Side
  • 1× USB-C port (Thunderbolt 3 on SP314-54N; USB 3.2 Gen 1/Gen 2 with DisplayPort on SP313-51N and AMD models; the earliest SP314-51 shipped without USB-C on some SKUs)

Wi-Fi 5 (older) / Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (newer) Bluetooth 5.0 / 5.1

Battery, build & more

Battery & charging

3-cell lithium-ion battery. Acer rates the 13.3-inch SP313-51N at up to ~16 hours and the 14-inch models around 10–12 hours of light use. Newer units (SP314-54N, SP313-51N) support USB-C charging; earlier units use the barrel DC-in adapter.

Keyboard & stylus

Backlit chiclet keyboard on most configurations. Ships with an Acer Active Stylus (Wacom AES) that docks in a garage silo on many units — a bundled pen adds value, so include it if you still have it.

Aluminum-and-plastic convertible chassis with a 360° dual-hinge design. Finishes include Steel Gray and Pure Silver depending on year.

Weight

13.3-inch SP313-51N: ~1.4 kg (3.09 lb). 14-inch SP314 models: ~1.5–1.7 kg (3.3–3.75 lb).

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm which Acer Spin 3 model I have?
Flip the laptop over and read the model code printed on the bottom cover — it begins with SP314 (14-inch) or SP313 (13.3-inch), followed by a suffix such as -54N or -51N. That code matters more than the "Spin 3" name, because a 2018 SP314-51 and a 2021 SP313-51N are very different machines with different screens, memory, and ports. If the sticker is worn, the model code also appears in Windows under System Information. Our Acer model-number guide walks through every place the code is listed. Be sure you're not confusing the Spin 3 with the larger Spin 5, the premium Spin 7, or an Acer Chromebook Spin — those quote separately.
02 Can I trade in a Spin 3 with a cracked screen or a battery that won't hold a charge?
Yes. Gadget Salvation buys Spin 3 convertibles in every operational state. Whether your 2-in-1 runs perfectly, has a cracked or delaminated touch panel, a swollen or dead battery, a stiff 360° hinge, or a missing stylus, just reflect those in the condition grading above and we'll lock in a firm cash value. Because it's a convertible, touchscreen and hinge condition matter more than on a standard clamshell, so grade honestly for the most accurate offer.
03 Should I wipe my SSD or remove it before shipping?
We recommend backing up your personal files to an external drive or the cloud and signing out of your Microsoft account before you box the laptop. You do not need to open the chassis or remove the M.2 NVMe SSD yourself — our technicians run certified, multi-pass data sanitation on every incoming drive. Full details are on our data erasure protocols page.
04 What is the Gadget Salvation trade-in process, and which specs raise my Spin 3's value?
Many sellers don't realize there's an alternative to listing on a marketplace and dealing with lowball buyers — Gadget Salvation is a dedicated trade-in service that quotes you instantly, ships a free prepaid label, and pays you fast once your device is verified. On the Spin 3, value is driven mostly by generation and configuration: a newer 11th-gen SP313-51N with an i7, 16GB, a 512GB or 1TB SSD, and the WQXGA display commands a stronger payout than an older 8th-gen SP314-51 with an i3 and 128GB. A working bundled Acer Active Stylus also helps. New to selling electronics online? Our first-time seller's guide explains exactly what to expect.
05 How and when do I get paid?
Once your Spin 3 reaches our facility and passes functional testing, payment is approved within about two business days. You can be paid by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or CashApp, or by a physical check mailed to you. Shipping to us is always free and fully insured with a prepaid label. Want the full step-by-step?
