Welcome to a laptop battery specialist
of the dell laptop battery
The Aspire R 13$999.99 at TigerDirect.com measures 0.7 by 13.5 by 9.1 inches (HWD), and weighs in at 3.3 pounds. That's somewhat larger than the HP Spectre x360 13t (13-4003)$999.99 at HP, our Editors' Choice midrange convertible-hybrid laptop. It's physically identical to the Acer Aspire R 13 (R7-371T-72TC), at least in terms of exterior dimensions and physical features. The system resembles a standard clamshell laptop when you first open it up, but you may notice that the bezel surrounding the screen doesn't quite go all the way around.
The 13.3-inch, 1,920-by-1,080-resolution, In-Plane Switching with batetry such as dell 8012P battery, Dell Latitude CS Battery, Dell 8N884 Battery, Dell Latitude E4310 Battery, Dell Studio 14Z Battery, Dell Studio 1440 Battery, Dell 0K899K Battery, Dell M916K Battery, Dell PU556 Battery, Dell Inspiron 1318 Battery, Dell XPS M1330 Battery, Dell JN149 Battery(IPS) touch screen flips around on its central axis, similar to the display on the Dell XPS 12$1,199.99 at Amazon, though unlike the latter, the frame around the screen is U-shaped instead of a full surround. This allows for two more modes than you see on most other convertible-hybrid systems. The basic modes are similar to the ones you get on the Lenovo Yoga line, but Acer calls them Notebook, Stand, Pad, Tent, and Display modes.
In addition, the display can also hang above the keyboard in Ezel mode, which gives you finer control of the viewing angle. Bring the screen down from Ezel mode to cover the keyboard deck to Acer's version of Stand mode, and you can then use the touch screen while still having access to the touchpad for finer cursor control. Note that what Acer calls Stand mode on the Aspire R 13 is different from the Stand mode on laptops that follow the prevalent convertible-hybrid design cues, like the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 Special Edition (7352)$999.99 at Dell. In this iteration, the keyboard never has to lie facing (and touching) the table.
The Ezel and Stand modes let you customize your experience more than the other convertible-hybrids. Thankfully, the hinge mechanism feels quite secure, and it seems sturdier than the one in the Dell XPS 12. That said, Ezel mode still feels a bit odd to use, especially if you inadvertently swing the screen around while trying to pick up the laptop with one hand.
The display is extremely sharp, and colors pop when you're watching 1080p HD videos on Amazon Prime, Netflix, or YouTube. Turn off adaptive screen brightness in the power-options control panel, and you'll be able to brighten the screen so it's fully visible in a sunlit room. Sound quality from the built-in speakers is good, with only a hint of distortion at top volume levels.
The keyboard is more compact than on other laptops. As with the previous iteration of the Aspire R 13, the row of function keys above the number keys is missing. Instead, you'll have to use Fn-key combinations in lieu of the F1-F12 keys. Same thing for media functions and screen brightness adjustments. The flat keys are also more slippery than the curved ones on the Lenovo Yoga line like the Yoga 3 14$899.00 at Lenovo.
