Model: The Acer Aspire R3-131T-P3UF is a 2-in-1 convertible touch notebook. Convertible touch notebooks allow transition between touch and type control on the same device. It offers flexibility on a budget for professionals or travelers. The Aspire R3 fits well in this category but it doesn't look the path. It looks more like a funky laptop-tablet for students. In terms of looks and build quality, it doesn't really compete with the usual convertible laptops out there which can look more like a business device. It comes closer to the Dell Inspiron 11 series which also is a convertible but is mainly aimed at student. The Acer Aspire R3-131T-P3UF measures at 298 x 21 x 211 mm and weighs at 1.6 kg. It is far from a sleek device. The convertible notebook is available in two colors, which are blue and black. Its permanently installed lithium polymer battery with 4-cell and 3270 mAh is capable of delivering up to 8 hours of battery life.
The Acer Aspire R3-131T-P3UF comes with a decent hardware specification. It features an Intel Pentium N3710 processor, 4 GB of RAM, an Intel HD Graphics and a 128 GB SSD. The RAM of the convertible notebook can be upgraded to a maximum of 8 GB. Its 11-inch Acer CineCrystal LED touchscreen features an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It is a glare display for high contrast and brilliant colors. However, it reflects environmental lighting, which might be inconvenient for travelers to use outdoors. A 360 degree dual-torque hinge allows easy converting with one hand. For convenience in cooperation and sharing, the notebook can be laid on at flat 180 degree to have multiple people inputting at the same time. However, the hinge isn't as strong as one would want it to be. It does flex a little bit.
The Windows 10 64-bit Home edition system has a recovery partition for convenience in creating recovery DVDs with Acer eRecovery. As for entertainment and communication purpose, it has an Acer Crystal Eye 1.3 MP HD webcam built in for video calling. The webcam is capable of capturing 720p video at 30 fps. Furthermore, it has two stereo speakers and a microphone built in. The Aspire comes with an Acer FineTip keyboard and a precision touchpad with multi-gesture support. The convertible notebook has Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 - M.2 Card installed which provides Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.2 for wireless networking. For input and output interfaces, it features a USB 2.0 port, a USB 3.0 port and HDMI port for external display. The Acer Aspire R3 series consists of good entry level convertible laptops priced very reasonably for students.
