Acer announced the new Aspire R 13 (R7-372T)
convertible notebook, offering maximum usability and graceful transitions
between a variety of user modes, while packed with leading edge technologies
for a faster, more productive, and versatile user experience.
Graceful Transitions. Infinitely Adaptive.
The Aspire R 13 makes use of Acer’s patented
Ezel Aero Hinge™ that supports six modes: Users can maximize productivity with
the most efficient method of keyboard input in classic Laptop mode, and switch
to Display mode by hiding the keyboard at the back or laying 180 degrees flat,
ideal for collaborating, sharing and entertainment. Converting to Tent mode
gives users the option to use in a confined space, while a masterfully-crafted
magnet design allows the device to be fully converted into Pad mode – without
any gaps whatsoever. Transitioning to Ezel™ mode makes it possible to tilt the
screen to angles that suit exact viewing needs, and with Stand mode, users can
use an Acer Active Pen to draw and take notes on the display, as if on an
easel.
The innovative Ezel Aero Hinge™ provides
graceful transformation between modes, with a sturdy U-frame structure made of
die-casted magnesium-alloys die-casting that enhances stiffness while
maintaining a slim design. The patented 180-degree rotatable “center” hinge
allows users to adjust the screen to any angle, while the dual-torque “system”
hinge provides a wobble free touch experience and easy screen-opening. With
this innovation, the Aspire R 13 is infinitely adaptive with maximum usability
– from using as a regular notebook, to using the hinge to clamp it to a cubicle,
or even enjoying a movie on the sofa while cleverly shifting the weight of the
device to the user’s lap.
The Aspire R 13 supports Thunderbolt™ 3
which brings Thunderbolt to USB Type-C at speeds up to 40Gbps - eight times
faster than USB 3.0 - creating one compact port that does it all, delivering
the fastest, most versatile connection to any dock, device, or display.
Thunderbolt 3 unlocks the possibility of connecting to an external graphics
device for serious gaming needs. In addition, the Aspire R 13 can be configured
with 2 SSDs in a RAID-0 setup to provide twice the data throughput rate.
Powerful Performance
Just 18.5 mm thin, and weighing in at just
1.6 kg, the Aspire R 13 incorporates powerful 6th Gen Intel® Core™ processors.
The new processors have been designed to improve performance, graphics, and
battery life – so consumers can be confident while powering through
productivity tasks.
“The Acer Aspire convertible PCs, powered by
the new 6th Gen Intel Core processors, will offer incredible performance and
long battery life in a sleek design, designed for people who want both power
and mobility,” said Kirk Skaugen, Intel senior vice president and general
manager, Client Computing Group. “The 6th Gen Intel Core processor is our best
processor ever, enabling the perfect combination of productivity and
flexibility for the Acer convertible PCs.”
For faster connection speeds, new additions
to the Aspire R 13 include Qualcomm® VIVE™ 2x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi with Qualcomm® MU
| EFX MU-MIMO technology, allowing up to three times faster[1] downloads compared to other
802.11ac products, especially in crowded networks.
“Qualcomm MU | EFX MU-MIMO technology holds
tremendous benefit for the connected user experience, and we’re pleased to
provide this option for Acer’s new Aspire R Series notebooks,” said Rahul
Patel, senior vice president and general manager, connectivity, Qualcomm
Technologies, Inc. “With Qualcomm MU-MIMO in computing devices, smartphones,
routers and access points, we are anticipating users will experience faster,
more efficient network availability for downloading, streaming, browsing and
gaming.”
Hardware Suited for Work and Play
The Aspire R 13 has a built-in Precision
Touchpad (PTP) that enhances the accuracy and performance of touchpad
navigation, where consumers can tap, swipe, scroll, and zoom more easily than
ever, and instantly become more efficient and productive with new three- and
four-finger touchpad gestures supported by Windows 10. Acer TrueHarmony Plus
with Dolby® Audio™ provide powerful audio with immersive surround.

North America in October with prices starting at US$899, and in EMEA in October
