Acer Aspire R15 R5-571TG-50RF

2-in-1 convertibles are increasingly popular and the Acer Aspire R15 is one such laptop to look out for. Encased in a gray aluminium frame, the Aspire 15 is both stealth-looking and solidly built. This certainly appeals professionals who seek for a premium-looking laptop. Its 360-degree hinge allows the device to be fully bent back to be used as a massive tablet. Measuring at 2.01 cm (0.79 inch) thick, it is thinner compared to its rivals from HP and Lenovo. Weighing at 2.2 kg, it is nonetheless not idyllic to use the R15 while standing. It boasts a display screen of 15.6” screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Thanks to the IPS technology, colors appear consistent and accurate from wide viewing angles. Visuals appear bright and vibrant albeit the display tends to be highly reflective. Colors and brightness are optimized with Acer Color Intelligence, a built-in software provided by Acer. The full-sized, backlit keyboard allows for fast and natural typing. It is also decked with a full-sized numeric keypad. Its touchpad is intuitive, which makes scrolling and navigation a smooth operation. Sound quality is crisp and clear as it is built in with two speakers and a subwoofer. It is also enhanced with Dolby Audio with an array of sound settings. Performance-wise, it is powered by the 6th generation Intel Core i5-6200U processor. This device is clearly built for mid-range performance with 8 GB of RAM and a 1 TB HDD. With graphics rendered by Intel HD Graphics 520, its performance in running graphic-intensive application ranks lower than that of equivalent models from Toshiba and Dell, which may include external graphic cards. Heavy multi-taskers can nevertheless opt for an advanced configuration with dual-core i7 processor and a dedicated GPU. The R15’s thermal airflow cooling system controls heat dissipation efficiently, ensuring that it stays cool and runs smoothly. Battery life is more than average as Acer claimed that it clocks more than 9 hours. This laptop is also decked with an array of connectivity options which includes four USB ports, an HDMI port, a DisplayPort, and a media card reader. Networking is supported by both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. 2×2 MIMO and MU-MIMO, which offers solid and stable wireless connectivity, makes up for the lack of an Ethernet port. There are many USB to Ethernet dongles available in the market if it is necessary. The integrated HD webcam delivers impressive resolution and quality. To top it off, it comes pre-installed with the latest Windows 10 Home 64-bit. Overall, the R15 is a well-rounded machine, which is also attractively priced. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

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.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

NVIDIA GeForce 940MX: Mid-range laptop graphics card based on the Maxwell architecture. Compared to the older 940M, the MX now also supports GDDR5 graphics memory and maybe slightly faster clock speeds.

Intel Core i5:

6200U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

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.  

6500U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

Intel Core i3:

6100U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

76.6%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
