Acer has added to its notebook line-up with the latest evolution of its Windows 10 Aspire R 14 convertible notebook.Measuring in at 18.5 mm thin and weighing 1.9 kg, the new Aspire R 14 incorporates 6th gen Intel Core processors and up to 8 GB DDR3L system memory, along with SSD storage, with a 360-degree, dual-torque hinge design allowing users to switch between its four modes.
Users can use the Aspire R 14 as a classic laptop with keyboard input, in display mode by hiding the keyboard at the back or laying it 180 degrees flat, as a tent for use in a confined space, while a magnet design allows the device to be swapped into gap-free tablet mode.
Acer states the Aspire R 14’s “exterior diamond-cut edge design was created with industry-leading, soft-touch NIL (Nanoimprint Lithography) technology for a unique hairline-brush metallic finish and soft tactile feel”, while an anti-fingerprint coating prevents marks sticking to the touchscreen.
