Acer Aspire R7 review: a flexible form factor at a reasonable price

 

If you told us Acer was coming out with an innovative new take on the Windows 8 convertible, we'd probably laugh in your face. After so many months of

Innovative design, well-built ; Bright 1080p display ; Good specs for the money

Cramped keyboard, awkwardly placed touchpad ; Unimpressive battery life ; Relatively heavy ; Only one configuration right now

The Acer Aspire R7 is a unique take on the Windows 8 laptop, with an adjustable display and an attractive hinge design. And, at $1,000, it's also a pretty good deal.

Acer intros Aspire R7, a laptop with an adjustable display like an all-in-one

 

When Acer plans a global press event, asking journalists to fly in from twelve time zones away, you know it's going to announce more than just some back-to-school PCs. The company just announced the Aspire R7, a 15-inch laptop whose display sits on a...

Giving credit where it's due, though, the backlit keys at least have a pleasantly soft finish, and feel nice to type on. But all these things are trade-offs, right? In exchange for the squat keyboard you get a display with truly adjustable screen...

Acer Aspire R7-572-6423

 

The Acer Aspire R7-572-6423 desktop-replacement laptop still looks intriguing, but closer examination reveals a decent laptop bogged down by an awkward design.

Lovely 1,920-by-1,080 resolution display is improved with N-Trig DuoSense technology and stylus support. Sound quality is surprisingly good. Hard drive offers 1TB of storage.

Performance, though improved over its predecessor, is not spectacular. Experimental design still fizzles out.

Acer has taken a step to fix this, including a foldable palmrest pad with the R7-572-6423 that can be set just in front of the keyboard to replace the missing palmrest. It sort of works, but the fact that an accessory has to be included to provide...

Acer Aspire R7-571-6858

 

The Acer Aspire R7 features a stunning look, but the innovative design is marred by an awkward layout and mediocre performance.

Innovative design places touch front and center. Beautiful 15-inch 1920-by-1080 resolution display. Excellent sound with surprisingly loud volume.

Flipped keyboard and touchpad is a flop. Mediocre performance.

Conclusion In the end, however, the Acer Aspire R7 is a high-flying concept brought low by reality. While the design is daring and innovative, even among the many experimental designs being tried with convertible and touch-centric laptops, the end user...

Acer Aspire R7 review

 

I think I'm going blind. I've never had glasses, and always kind of liked being the guy with perfect vision, but I'm pretty sure I'm going blind. Ten times a day I catch myself craning my neck...

Well-made ; Beautiful display

Keyboard and trackpad shouldn't be flipped ; Mediocre performance and battery life ; Power button is too sensitive and too inconsistent

Maybe the look of the future, but not of the present

Acer's Aspire R7 hybrid takes chances

 

But moving the touch pad above the keyboard may be too big a leap to get used to.

The ; offers an inventive and very flexible design at a reasonable price, with a full-HD display.

Some of the design risks, including a misplaced touch pad and an awkward tablet mode, make the R7 a hassle to use.

Acer deserves credit for trying new things in the ambitious Aspire R7. If you can get used to the odd touch pad, it's good for sharing your screen with a group, but it may be just too far outside the mainstream for wide appeal.

Acer R7 Review: Something Different

 

Several months ago, Acer released the Aspire R7 , a new and interesting take on touchscreen laptops. We didn't have an opportunity to review it at the time of launch, but Acer did ship one out a bit later and it's an interesting enough laptop that we...

Review Acer Aspire R7-571G-53338G75ass Convertible

 

Different by design. The Acer Aspire R7-571G does not follow classic notebook design guidelines. Thanks to the Ezel hinge, the notebook supports display positions that no other design is capable of offering. How the solution works on a day-to-day basis...

IPS display; Speakers; Touchscreen; Ezel hinge; Performance; Accessories

WLAN connection; Keyboard (space bar); Missing palm rest

The very useful and well-designed Ezel hinge.

Acer Aspire R7 Review

 

The Acer machine you're about to see is rather unique - it's got what the group calls an "Ezel" hinge, made to expand the units abilities beyond that of the average notebook or desktop. Here we're using Windows 8 in combination with Acer's hardware to...

The Acer Aspire R7 is one of the most unique computers on the market today. Acer proves themselves as being not only a reputable traditional builder of notebooks with this device, but one that’s bold enough to create oddities like this as well. For...
