PC-manufacturer Acer has announced it’s
new Aspire R7 Ultrabook-cum-Tablet hybrid at an event in New York City,
and the device features a cutting-edge design, unlike anything you’ve
ever seen before.
The Acer Aspire R7 features a beautiful 15.6-inch 1080p touchscreen display, and can be configured to powered by the Intel Core i5 ot i7 processors, with an option of up to 12GB of RAM. You also get the option of a 1TB HDD or a 256GB SSD.
The device features a full-sized backlit
keyboard, and to enhance the audio capabilities of the device, it
features Dolby Home Theater on board with four 8 watt speakers. For
connectivity, the Acer Aspire R7 gets an HDMI out port, a memory card reader, three USB ports, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and audio jacks.
While you may feel that the specifications of the device are nothing extraordinary, the real ‘revolution’ lies in the design of Acer Aspire
R7, which gets an “Ezel Hinge”, that allows the screen to be placed
flat or float above the keyboard. You can even flip the screen at the
back, to make it face away from the keyboard.
However, while the design of the Acer Aspire
R7 is quite commendable, not the same can be said about the usability
of the device, and one of major reasons we’re forced to say this, is
that Acer has placed the touchpad behind the keyboard, which might be
quite awkward to access. Also, users generally tend to place their palms
on either side of the touchpad while typing, which won’t be possible on
the Acer Aspire R7.
The Acer Aspire R7 is currently available for pre order in the United States only, for a starting price of $999.
