Acer Aspire R7 Review

Pros

• Innovative design, well-build
• Bright 1080p display
• Good specs for the money

Cons

• Cramped keyboard, awkwardly placed touchpad
• Unimpressive battery life
• Relatively heavy
• Only one configuration right now

Bottom Line

The Acer Aspire R7 is a unique take on the Windows 8 laptop, with an adjustable display and an attractive hinge design. And, at $1,000, it's also a pretty good deal.
