Easy conversion from laptop to tablet ; Full-sized HDMI and SD slot

Screen retention ; Poor touchpad ; Keyboard could be better ; High price

Slimmer and lighter than the competition ; High-resolution screen with good image quality ; Decent battery life and performance levels

Ezel hinge impacts looks and adds little ; Poor, cramped keyboard ; Awkwardly wide base

Unfortunately, its own design flaws, such as a temperamental mouse and stubborn lid lip, hamper this convertible. Its lack of connectivity will steer away laptop professionals while the mediocre display will keep the R13 from truly replacing a tablet.

Solid construction. In-Plane Switching (IPS) touch screen. Versaitle hinge design keeps keyboard protected in touch modes. Almost 11 hours of battery life in testing.

Slippery keys on keyboard. Lots of bloatware. Ezel mode can be awkward to use.

Conclusion The Acer Aspire R 13 (R7-371T-50ZE) has a unique and versatile hinge that sets it apart from the other convertible-hybrid laptops on the market. Its battery life in testing is one of the longest we've seen on any Windows hybrid, including...

Design, performance, exceptional battery life.

Inadequate hardware documentation, pricing confusion on website.

Some of my all-time favorite laptops have been made by Acer, including the 17.1-incher I take with me on road trips. The Aspire R 13 has joined that list, and the low-end model I tested should be more than enough computer for the majority of users.

Sleek, premium design ; Six different usage modes ; Crisp WQHD display upgrade

Large footprint ; Runs hot ; Fans stay on almost all the time

With similar power, battery life and slimness as competing Ultrabooks on the market, what makes the Aspire R13 unique is its Ezel hinge, allowing the notebook to convert into six different usage modes.

Solid construction. Intel Core i7 CPU. 512GB solid-state drive (SSD). WQHD screen.

Pricey. Lower battery life than rivals. Hinge that converts system to different modes is overly complicated.

Conclusion 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...

In the end, I walk away from the Acer Aspire R 13 with the feeling that Acer is trying something new here, but it is not working as well as they had hoped. The design is certainly unique, but the drawbacks overshadow the small gains available. If the R...

Adjustable multimode screen; Superfast SSDs; Solid overall performance; Better battery life than competition ; Display lacks touch home button for tablet mode; Clunky design; Weak audio quality ; Offering a swivel screen with multiple modes, Acer's R13...

Display lacks touch home button for tablet mode; Clunky design; Weak audio quality ; Offering a swivel screen with multiple modes, Acer's R13 is a 2-in-1 that delivers powerful performance in a versatile but clunky design.

Offering a swivel screen with multiple modes, Acer's R13 is a 2-in-1 that delivers powerful performance in a versatile but clunky design.
