Reviews for the Acer Aspire R13 R7-371T-779K

84% Acer Aspire R13 R7-371T-779K Convertible Review | Notebookcheck
Acer's All-in-One. Notebook, tablet or All-in-One PC, the Acer R13 meets almost all the requirements. Thanks to the new Ezel Aero Hinges, the device can be used in many operating modes and is also really fast with its two turbo SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration and Intel's i7 processor.

When it comes to redesigning the laptop to be a little more modernised, and more useful than just a typical clamshell computer, Acer’s take on the hinge is an interesting one, and was when the first model came to life in 2013. The latest take on it is even better, with a more portable design and some better innards, but we’re now stuck because the keyboard just stops this computer from being completely comfortable to use.

The R13 is a marked departure from the R7. While the latter was more like a touchscreen all-in-one bundled into a notebook, the R13 is a true convertible designed for use as either an ultraportable laptop or a full Windows tablet. This will probably be less confusing for consumers and help to broaden its appeal.

While the Yoga 3 Pro pushes the design envelope of 2-in-1s with its strikingly slim frame, Acer's R 13 focuses more on speed. The R13's combination of an Intel Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM and lightning-fast dual SSDs gives it a significant edge in power compared to Lenovo's flagship 2-in-1.

Comment

Model: The Acer Aspire R13 R7 is a convertible tablet which can also function as a laptop. Thanks to the Ezel Aero hinge, the screen can be adjusted into six different positions including stand mode, tablet mode, tent mode, notebook mode, ezel mode and display mode. Each operating mode has its own unique features whereby the screen can be turned along a longitudinal axis. The flexible display is 13.3 inches wide with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. It is a multi-touch screen that can accommodate up to 10 finger contacts. It is about 25.4 mm thick but only weighs 1.5 kg.

Since the device is almost entirely from plastics, it can stay so light despite being on the thick side. The only metal incorporated within the structure are the two support beams of the screen and the display frame. The processor here is an Intel Core i7-4510U with a speed of 2GHz which comes with an Intel HD Graphics 4400 card and 8 GB LPDDR3 memory. There is also a stylus pen that allows you to doodle or scribble on screen when it is in stand mode. Overall, this Microsoft Windows 8.1 convertible is possibly one of the more flexible innovations of recent years.

Intel HD Graphics 4400:

ULV integrated GPU (GT2) with 20 EUs found on certain Haswell CPU models.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  


4510U: Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 2.0 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.1 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


13.30":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


70.8%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
