60% Acer Tackles the Hybrid Laptop
Source: Digital Versus Archive.org version
Acer is having its go at the convertible laptop with the Aspire R7, a 15.6" model that sports the firm's unique Ezel hinge. Acer deserves credit for breathing a little fresh air into the world of convertible laptop design. Unfortunately, its execution wasn't as good as its intentions. The body is a little awkward (what's with the touchpad?), the body overheats and the sound quality needs improving.

The original Aspire R7 had its share of problems, like middling performance. Some of those problems have been fixed with the Acer Aspire R7-572-6423. The new iteration also adds some desirable features, like N-Trig DuoSense technology, improved battery life, and a stylus for fine control. Unfortunately, no polished up feature set is enough to overcome the decidedly awkward design.

The new iteration also adds some desirable features, like N-Trig DuoSense technology, improved battery life, and a stylus for fine control. Unfortunately, no polished up feature set is enough to overcome the decidedly awkward design. The flipping display adds little to the touch experience, while the swapped keyboard and mouse certainly detract from the user experience at the most basic of levels. If you were intrigued by the original Aspire R7, then perhaps the improved R7-572-6423 is worth springing for, but on the whole, you'll do far better with the Asus N550JV-DB72T, our Editors' Choice for desktop-replacement laptops.

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.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

4200U:

Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 2.6 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

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.

62.5%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
