Reviews for the Acer Aspire R7-371T-72TC

The Acer Aspire R 13 (R7-371T-72TC) is at the vanguard for thin-and-light laptops that offer convertible screens. Its unique hinge gives you a little more versatility than the dual-hinge flipping displays of similar systems. You get good performance and lots of storage space, but the R 13 is expensive for what it offers, and battery life is hours short of its rivals. The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro holds on to its Editors' Choice for high end convertible-hybrid laptops because of its longer battery life, smaller chassis, lighter weight, and higher-resolution (3,200-by-1,800) screen, all for $200 less.

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.

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.

67.5%: 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.
