Acer Aspire R13 Review

Acer Aspire R13 Review

Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Acer Ac Adapter

2015 is the year of the 2-in-1. Traditional-tablet sales are on the decline -- why should users looking for a new laptop buy a system with a limited design when a convertible does it better? That's where the $1,500 Acer R13 comes in. Featuring a screen that swivels into multiple modes, a powerful Intel Core i7 CPU and supersonic dual 256GB SSDs, the R13 delivers better performance than its competition in a fairly portable package. While its looks don't match its brawn, Acer's multimode 2-in-1 ticks a lot of boxes needed for a satisfying hybrid device.

Over the past few years, laptop with adapters like Acer Timeline AS4810T AC Adapter, Acer ADP-90CD BB AC Adapter, Acer Extensa 900 AC adapter,Acer TimelineX 5820T AC Adapter, Acer Extensa 5235 AC Adapter, Acer Extensa 5635Z AC Adapter, Acer Aspire One A150 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire One A110 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire One D150 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 1810TZ AC Adapter, Acer Extensa 5630 AC Adapter, Acer TravelMate 290 AC Adapter makers have spent a lot of time trying to crack the formula for 2-in-1 design. Most companies have settled on 360-degree flip displays or detachable screens, but on the R13, Acer chose to go with a third option.

The R13 uses a floating frame to hold the screen, which allows the display to open and tilt like a traditional laptop while also letting it spin in place for tablet mode.

This gives the R13 additional modes not seen on other designs, such as an "Ezel" mode, where the screen floats above the keyboard, and a low-angle stand mode that's perfect for tight spaces or use in bed. You'll also find the usual notebook, tablet and tent modes.

This design comes with a few trade-offs, though. The bezels on the R13's screen are thick and fat, especially along the bottom. At a time when we're seeing edge-to-edge displays on laptops and smartphones, the layered black borders around the display make the R13 look clunky and dated. Another problem is that, unlike other 2-in-1s, there's no touch Start button on the front of the screen for tablet mode, making you reliant on the side-swipe gesture to go back to the Modern UI home screen. Lastly, because the plastic floating frame extends only halfway up the side of the display when closed, the R13 is a sea of right angles and raised edges, lending it a somewhat unfinished appearance.

While the Yoga 3 Pro pushes the design envelope of 2-in-1s with its strikingly slim frame, Acer's R13 focuses more on speed. The R13's combination of an Intel Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM and lightning-fast dual SSDs gives it a significant edge in power compared to Lenovo's flagship 2-in-1. You also get a lighter, more portable design than the Toshiba Click 2 Pro, which offers similar specs but a heavy detachable screen. And let's not forget that the Acer's battery outlasts them both. The R13 isn't the prettiest or the lightest 2-in-1, but if you prefer speed to looks in your convertible, Acer strikes the right balance.
