Acer has announced the Aspire R 13 and Aspire R 14 Series, two new convertible notebook lines that can transition between various notebook and tablet style modes of operation. The R 13 Series features Acer’s unique Ezel Aero Hinge that allows the display to rotate into six different positions.

All models can also be used with the optional Acer Active Pen. The R 14 Series of convertible notebooks features a 360˚ dual-torque hinge that allows it to be used in four usage modes.  Both notebooks are designed for those who don’t want to give up a traditional notebook design, but want more options and flexibility.

The 13.3-inch display is affixed to this special hinge at the sides, which allows the screen to rotate 180˚ so it can be used in six different ways.  This quick and effortless way to transition between various modes gives it the productivity features of a traditional clamshell notebook with the convenience of a tablet.  Acer’s patented dual-torque system hinge keeps the display stable and in place when touch navigation is used. 

It is attached to a forged U-frame, which also helps to enhance stiffness while maintaining the notebook’s slim design. The R 14 features a 14-inch high-definition display with Zero Air Gap technology, which helps to eliminate reflections in sunlight, resulting in higher contrast and crisper images. It also supports Acer Touch Tools that helps the user capture, collect, write and share screen data effortlessly through touch.

Models are available with a range of Intel processors, including Pentium, Core i3, i5 or i7, and can be configured with up to 12 GB of memory for powerful performance.  Some models offer NVidia GeForce 820 M graphics to enrich the overall visuals.  Roomy 500 GB or 1 TB hard drives provide ample storage for files, photos and videos.  Skype-certified, the R 14 provides crystal clear communications with uninterrupted audio and visuals free of echos, gaps and lags, making it easy to connect with friends, family or co-workers across the globe.
