This unique (some will say odd) Acer Aspire R7 has caught my eyes when I was browsing through WPCentral. It is that kind of love it or hate it design. It is a design I have not seen before (like swapping the position of the touch pad with the keyboard).
When I first saw the picture above, I thought the screen was flipped in a way that the keyboard is facing the front. I was wrong. This is the actual position. The big hinge (Ezel Hinge) has a few tricks up its sleeve.
I think this video will really show you what the Acer Aspire R7 can do.
Like it? At 2.31 kg, it is not the lightest laptop you will carry around. However, with its 15.6-inch screen, the four speakers plus Dolby Home Theater v4 and the versatile Ezel Hinge, it makes a perfect companion for different occasions.
