Hey guys! Today i'll be reviewing on the Acer Aspire R7, your not so average laptop. Alright, before i start. Let me just show you what a beast this laptop is!

Why is it a beast? It looks just like a normal lap-oh god the touch-pad is not at it's usual place!

Yeah, let me explain. This isn't your average laptop. It's a transforming multi-touch laptop-cum-tablet, and it can do wonders. Check out these awesome transforms.


Making use of the Ezel-hinge, this laptop is able to turn into a tablet. The reason why the touch-pad is not at it's usual place is because with this multi-purpose all-in-one machine, who needs one? Acer purposely had it out of place to promote it's usability. Since it has a touch screen, why not use it, right? 




As shown above, there is a four-stage usage mode that this laptop can do. 

1. Notebook mode. You can use it like any other laptop.
2. Ezel-mode, where you can be one with the laptop.
3.Pad mode. Hey look it's an iPad!
4. Display mode. Someone's in front of you wanting to see your work.
No problemo, you can just flip the screen backwards. 

So what do you think? His outer strength is superb right? Well so is his inner strength!
Coming at a whopping SGD$ 1,998, The Acer Aspire R7 is running on Windows 8.1 and had 4th generation Intel Core i5-4200U processor (1.60GHz with TurboBoost up to 2.60GHz 3MB).

It is 15.6" inch and is in Full HD with a 10-point multi-touch screen. A active stylus pen is included when you buy this laptop, isn't that great? Now it's like a Wacom! With 8GB of RAM, you wouldn't need to worry about lag, especially having 1TB HDD. NVIDIA Geforce GT750M Graphics card also lets you do gaming, which is pretty awesome!.
         Portability and Functionality in this device is good, I give it 9 out of 10 .

 I just love the idea of having a transforming laptop, it has so much benefits. As a designer, I find this very useful for presentations and even graphical use. I can sketch on the spot with the stylus and save an additional step of not having to do it on paper and then scan it in. Its not a full 10, as I do feel that you have to take great care of this laptop, especially when 'transforming'. The hinge can be quite delicate.

Well, that's all for this week. Keep in touch for more reviews!
