The R7 certainly isn’t a light laptop, weighing in
at a hefty 2.4kg, it’s really not going to be a
machine that will sit comfortably and safely on
your lap when on a bus or a tube…which is a
real shame because the “Ezel Hinge” make will
make this easy to find a natural working position
in such places.
Using the Acer Aspire R7 was a very pleasant
experience. The touchscreen was very receptive
to the touch, as was the mouse, even though it
felt weird to use considering its positioning. The
metal finish is a nice and stylish touch too.
In terms or raw fire power, this laptop is pretty
well equipped to cater for all your needs with an
Intel Core i5 processor, up to 12GB of memory,
up to 1TB hard drive, or up to 256GB SSD and a
full-size backlit keyboard. It also includes a
volume control button, HDMI port, SD card
reader, audio jacks, three USB ports, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth and a convenient converter port
supporting VGA, RJ45 and USB.
