And yes, Acer’s Aspire R 14 still proves itself as a decent little halfway point for people not convinced that 13 inch laptops are big enough and yet have realised that most 15 inch computers are rubbish. At that point, the Acer Aspire R 14 serves a decent option, because you get the guts of a 13 inch in the body of something a little larger, with a battery to match. If the battery is the big deal and you tend to do a lot of work, Acer’s R 14 is definitely worth a look, provided you can deal with that screen.

The latest Acer Aspire R 14 is a reasonably priced convertible-hybrid laptop with a lot going for it. Its improvements over its last iteration include a large 1080p HD touch screen, forward-looking technology like a USB-C port, dual-band Wi-Fi, a powerful sixth-generation Intel Core i5 processor, and strong battery life, all at a really good price for a midrange laptop. It has a larger screen, better battery life, and better 3D performance than the HP Spectre x360 13t (13-4003), our former Editors' Choice, for $300 less. True, the Aspire R 14 is slightly larger and heavier than the HP Spectre x360, but not prohibitively so. As such, the Aspire R 14 is our Editors' Choice for midrange convertible-hybrid laptops.

Like buying a laptop, with the myriad combinations of processors, screens, storage schemes, and more, 2-in-1 hybrids aren’t easy to distinguish and select among. Unlike in their early days, when they tended to exact a premium, their prices and configurations are splintering into shards fine enough that spending a little extra to get a nicer item is almost always an option for most models.

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.

73.33%: 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.
