entranceLaptop Overview Acer Aspire R7: Footpaths. Ports and communications
Today, a fairly interesting laptop came to our table. It is curious on all sides - both price and functionality, and the quality of the assembly, he surpasses many competitors in its class of multimedia laptops with a touch swivel display. Yes, yes, that's the Lavra Lenovo Yoga Lavra, many do not give peace, which led to the fact that many devices with a similar design appeared on the market, and - just from this series.
The prospects and convenience of this design is difficult to overestimate. Unsight at first glance, the option of turning out the display and turning the not quite thin laptop into not the thinnest tablet in fact becomes convenient when the free space is important around, for example, in transport, or in a cafe. Yes, of course, there are more compact options, but they are more expensive, as a rule, and the display has a smaller size, and here we have quite solid 14 inches. As usual, you can use a laptop and in console mode, but its utility is still doubtful, maybe you will use it a couple of times.
The laptop has a 14-inch touchscreen display, a practical and unassuming case, not a game level, but powerful, characteristics and a pleasant price tag, which is located in the area of \u200b\u200b34,000 rubles. You can describe it as "no complaints", but in a good plan. Not a brand, not "intelligent" species, with a set of necessary ports, this laptop will enjoy a large number of users. This attractive unsightly allocates it among competitors who, in pursuit of a decrease in the thickness of the hull and the use of expensive components and materials, translate their devices from an affordable middle class into a category of more luxurious and expensive multimedia devices. Well, let's start with the configuration.
Equipment
The laptop box is the most common, "proletarian", with a folding riding. Inside the expected modest equipment: a laptop in the bag, and the delimiter is an HDMI adapter on a VGA and a charger. The laptop battery is inside the case, and to disconnect it or replace, you need to spin the device. This design is used mainly in modern ultrabooks.
Such a device for comfortable use will surely need a bag, because in the lady's handbag it does not fit, and it is not very convenient to wear it - because of its weight and sizes. As well, and much more you can find in the section of our site.
Design
Acer Aspire R3-471TG-52YZ looks like we have already mentioned, modestly and stylish. The gray plastic cover is not particularly marking, but traces of operation on it still remain. The bottom is black, not at color, but is made of a very pleasant to the touch soft-touch plastic.
Inside us, a gray monolithic work surface is waiting for us, the functional hinges are immediately striking next to the display, allowing the laptop to take different outlines "poses" (the very mode of the tablet, console, etc.). These joints are durable, they are large, the design is reliable, the laptop is well fixed in the tablet mode, and in the console mode, in contrast to the rather fragile joints of many ultrabooks.
The display is a mirror, framed by a gray matte frame and covered with a protective glass resistant to scratches. In its upper part there is a chamber's eye.
The keyboard in this laptop is the most common, without backlighting and any additional chips. The button of the buttons is small and soft, divert a large number of text is not very convenient, but you can get used to it. The dedicated digital unit is missing for a small reasons, the marking of white characters and well readable, with blue icons of functional options. In general, we understand why such small flat buttons were installed, this is done so that the keyboard does not constantly interfere and drank in the tablet mode, and a convenient function, when the buttons "enter" the inside of the housing when switching to the tablet mode, we have seen only one day, and It was in another model.
Under the keyboard there is a decent size of a clickpad, the move is comfortable, it is convenient to use it, and it is quite possible to do without an external mouse.
On the sides of the device, as usual, there are various ports. Now let's see what kind of. On the left side of the Kensington Castle, the RJ-45 network port, the HDMI video output (VGA adapter, as you remember, complete) and the USB 3.0 connector. On the right side - the charging socket, the switch on the laptop (it is made on the side, as in many laptops and ultrabooks of this type), a pair of USB 2.0, a card reader, a jack for a headset. There is no DVD drive, there is only one USB port 3.0 port, and USB 2.0 connectors on the right side are very close to each other. This is all the obvious disadvantages, unfortunately, otherwise - quite a standard set.

We see decent characteristics: the processor of the current Intel Core i5 (Haswell) line, although low-voltage, average speed of RAM (4 GB), which means that - if desired, you can work with this laptop as in sufficiently demanding programs, so And entertain yourself with games, of course, on low settings, how much the built-in video card will allow, and the games will not be the newest.
The volume of the hard disk pleases - 1000 GB, the place is enough for documents, and for projects of a working nature, and personal files, for example, a selection of vacation photos in high resolution.
Screen
The laptop has a 14-inch touch screen with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels and a glossy coating. Image This display gives excellent. The viewing angles are large, everything is clearly seen from the position of "FAS", and from the position of the "Interlocutor". Colors - alive and juicy, the image will appeal to both the kinomans and workaholics. Fans of processing photos will also be satisfied.
Of course, all this is, taking into account the resolution and size of the display, to Full HD, this laptop does not reach what is logical.

The display has the support for Multi-Touch to 10 simultaneous touch, it is responsive, the sensor responds without delays, everything is fine here.
Sound and battery life
The sound system did not surprise. Yes, the sound is not bad, quite clean and clear, but the volume limit is not at the height, and in general in this regard the laptop is not remembered. Basi is practically absent, so lovers listen to music "with maximum diving" will be disappointed.
A non-removable battery with a capacity of 3560 mAh does not create miracles, but in general it gives a good result. The laptop is compact enough, and it is understood that you will often carry it with you, without recharging at average loads (office applications, the Internet, and the like), it will work in the area of \u200b\u200b4-5 hours, and up to 7.5-8 hours in mode Energy saving / reading.

It rarely, but it happens that some devices do not lose their relevance years and a bright example of Acer Aspire with an R7 index - a hybrid laptop in "its" form factor, which differs not only by appearance, but also productive stuffing.
Appearance Acer Aspire R7
The main feature of the device is an unusual mounting of the screen to the laptop keyboard. The bridge between them is the long and wide loop - EZEL HINGE. Thus, three modes of operation are available: the laptop mode, tablet and hybrid. The last option is unusual, as it implies the "rear" screen placement and most optimal for presentations, and maybe something completely new, implemented on the go. A truly "lid" of a laptop can be thrown as if it is better and better demonstrate images than words. If there are doubts starting such a turning structure, then several years later did not receive a single complaint about Ezel Hinge, and then the release of the device took place without few four years ago.
The hybrid housing is metallic with plastic inserts. It can be opened with one hand, for which a special protrusion is provided, and not to use two limbs. And in general, ergonomics at an altitude, for example, the keyboard here has a soft and short key of the keys, which in turn do not go monoblock, but are separated from each other, but there is no digital block. At the same time, the thickness of the case is 28 mm, but it is not visually noticeable, of course, the air gadget cannot be called, but there is still a feeling of compactness despite the middle diagonal of the screen - 15.6 inches. If we talk about the mass, it does not exceed 2.4 kg. The same amount weighs the middle hand a productive laptop, so on a business trip to the pocket, as they say, it will not pull.
It is also worth noting the location of radiators of the cooling system, their two, and they are located behind. The layout excludes that you will shut down by accident, because it will lead to iron overheating. It is a pity that modern devices have a similar solution rarely. All the necessary interfaces are located on the left, which is convenient. Optical drive is absent, but it does not much upset.
Separately, I would like to note the touchpad, which is quite large here and settled down, and above the keyboard. First, the solution will seem strange, but doubts in the convenience of management will dispel after this comrade will begin to transform. Laptop dimensions - 376x254.5x28.5 mm.
Acer Aspire R7 Display
R7 is equipped with a 15.6-inch IPS display with Full-HD-resolution and sensory control. There is no protective coating, but it is glossy itself, so despite the wide viewing angles of glare in the sun can not be avoided. However, in the 13th year, "gloss" was in the trend and only then even the flagships became matte, which was done in favor of practicality, and not a beautiful appearance.
Is it worth saying that the response to the tapas at the laptop is excellent, there is a LED backlight, the picture looks juicy and at the same time real. What sin to hide, 1920x1080 pixels do their job. In addition, it is now 17.3 inches not always with such a resolution, but here the middle hand compact.
Stuffing Acer Aspire R7
In Russia, a modification with Intel Core I7-3537U was mainly sold - this is a trimmed SOC flagship processor with two nuclei separated by four streams. Thus, the frequency of 3.1 GHz is achieved, and the RAM operates in 2-channel mode. The last few options:
- DDR3-Plank, 1600 MHz, 2 GB;
- DDR3-plank, 1600 MHz, 4 GB;
- DDR3-Plank, 1600 MHz, 8 GB.
The graphic component is unchanged. The laptop has both an integrated and built-in video card. The first is represented by the intel HD 4000 video card and is part of the crystal. At the moment of time, the graphics accelerator lost its relevance, however, it is enough to display the interface of the OS interface. Discrete video card - NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2 GB GDDR5 memory. In general, the game laptop cannot be called, but it was not positioned by a gamer station, but for presentations and work with graphics without fanaticism of power, there is enough power. In addition, the mobile solution is tested by time and serves as faith and the truth is long enough until now. But the Intel HM77 Express chipset is hopelessly outdated, although the third generation USB support is not deprived.
Several types of Western Digital and Toshiba production discs correspond to data storage.
- 512-gigabyte HDD (WD);
- 750 gigabyte HDD (WD);
- terabyte hard disk (Toshiba).
Acer Aspire R7 Software
From the laptop box, it goes with a pre-installed 64-bit Windows 8. It is worth saying that go to the "top ten" will not be difficult. And on a full-fledged version, which on this gland will feel comfortable. We also recommend updating the drivers and reflash the BIOS to the latest version, for which the special utility is used. Acer his brainchild has not forgotten and so far let him occasionally, but supports.
Test Acer Aspire R7
Modern synthetic tests are not the highest assessment to the device, but completely eliminate the ability to run games can not, for example, Battlefield 3 with low FPS, but at high settings will go how to spin. Even Mafia II can be swapped, but here only low quality. Otherwise, a good workhorse for everything that is characterized by low power consumption, which means that I will name it on the Mangal.
Multimedia Acer Aspire R7
The device has already found four 8-watt dynamics to simulate the volume sound, so you should not neglect the installation of the branded audio driver, which will reveal the sound potential completely. Whatever it was, Hi-end wonders are not worthwhile, but the average ears acoustics will delight.
Webcams with a resolution of 720p, staying in proud loneliness. It is quite enough for video conferencing and calls through Skype.
Acer Aspire R7 Interfaces
R7 offers two USB 3.0, one second-generation USB, HDMI, RG-45 / D-Sub, but through adapters, as well as mini jack, so headphones will look for. There is a Cartrider for SD cards. From wireless interfaces - Wi-Fi 802.11b / g / n and Bluetooth 4.0. Yes, a rich set of ports, the device is no different, but for most users it will be quite enough. So, you can simultaneously connect the projector and printer, as well as an external drive. A 90-watt power supply - this business will pull.
Autonomy Acer Aspire R7
Since they spoke on autonomy, then a 53 VTC battery is implemented here - about 3000 mAh. Yes, it is not enough, however, the processor and video card are energy-efficient and, if not played, it is enough for 6-8 hours of productive work without a constantly active wireless Internet connection.
Price and Video Review Acer Aspire R7
Acer Aspire R7 Despite the years remains relevant and interesting device, but more for guys than for a regular user. This indirectly contributes to an unusual form factor, and several transformation modes. In terms of iron, there are comments only to HDD, and otherwise - a tested iron and a balanced configuration.
No matter how there they did not make assumptions before, the Ezel Hinge fastening turned out to be a reliable solution, there is even a hint of a creak or a backlash. In addition, the design does not look massive and can even surprise others now, emphasize individuality, and just comfortably work, even in the office, even on the road or at home.
The price of Acer Aspire R7 in Russia is from 35,000 rubles. Video review is presented below:
A CER ASPIRE R3-131T is a compact budget apparatus, represents a hybrid version of the laptop, when necessary to turn into a tablet. Thanks to the dimensions, it is ideal for wearing with himself, but the filling suggests the solution of extremely easy tasks, work with office applications and text editors. To purchase this laptop, there is enough about $ 430, which is not so much for today's standards. True, use Acer Aspire R3-131T as a home laptop is unlikely to succeed, as it is equipped with only a 11.6-inch screen, but in the image of a companion on travel, business trips, breaks between classes at the institute or school is very convenient.

Design
Such a laptop is easy to fit in the bag, because its dimensions are only 298x211x20.9 mm. True, the weight is large enough, as for the 11-inch model - 1.58 kg. The Acer Aspire R3-131T case has clear contours with rounded corners and a uniform thickness, due to which it looks like a little cumbersome. The device is made of textured plastic in blue color, both modifications in white color also are also presented. The matte coating prevents the appearance of fingerprints, the laptop is comfortable in operation, does not slide in the hands.The main feature of Acer Aspire R3-131T is the ability to convene. Tight loops are proposed to deploy a 360 degree screen, providing several installation options: in the form of a stand, presentation, as well as tablet. One hand to open the lid is practically not possible, since the laptop is small and relatively light. In the question of the quality of the assembly, there is nothing remarkable - in some plastic begins, the slots are viewed in the closed laptop position.
The bottom is not overloaded with functional elements - support legs and mesh two speakers. The panel is fixed by numerous screws that are located in three rows.
Display, Sound, Webcam
Acer Aspire R3-131T has a 11.6-inch screen with support for sensory control and resolution of 1366x768 pixels. It is quite contrasting and bright, however, it has extremely limited viewing angles, due to which when changing the display position, you can observe a sharp inversion of colors. A low resolution allows you to consider individual pixels, which also does not add comfort in the work. At the same time, the screen is protected by a durable glass of Corning Gorilla Glass, demonstrates good sensitivity and a reduced amount of glare, despite the glossy coating.
Both stereo speakers have access to the bottom of the case. The sound quality is below average - the absolute lack of bass and the bust of high frequencies make it completely unfulfilled. However, you can always use headphones, they partially solve the problem. Maximum volume leaves much to be desired. By the way, I would like to mention a very uncomfortable arrangement of the speakers, because in the laptop mode they will be closed with the surface of the table, and in the form of a tablet - the body itself.
The lens 1-MP webcam is located on the usual laptop location - on the upper display frame. In the work it is mediocre and is suitable only to ensure video communication.
Keyboard and touchpad
If the body of the device is pleasant blue, then from the inside the entire working surface in the contrast is made in black. This creates a special charm, despite the obviously inexpensive type of device. And the keyboard with the bright white marking fit into this image is very harmonious. It island type, with traditionally reduced functional and cursor buttons. The keys are loudly clamped when printing, have a relatively short move and pleasant to the touch surface. In the process of transforming the laptop to other positions, the keyboard is automatically deactivated, so it will not be necessary to worry about random presses. In general, it is convenient enough and he is fluthed into the body exactly enough so as not to scratch the display and not in contact with the surface of the table in the stand mode.
The touchpad slightly shifted to the left, it has quite large sizes and is made in a clearly rectangular form. The rough surface provides excellent adhesion with your fingers, physical mouse keys is not there, and sensitivity at a good level.
Performance
Acer Aspire R3-131T-P24A is running Windows 10 HOME operating system with a quad-core processor Intel Pentium N3710 . Its clock frequencies 1.6-2.56 GHz, as well as the possibilities of the Braswell platform, allow you to work a little faster Pentium N3700. , providing a good level of office tasks. However, in the conditions of passive cooling of the laptop, having a TDP 6 W, the processor quickly reaches its limit with a slightly more demanding software. The volume of the second-level cache is 2 MB, support for the technology of hyperpotimity is not provided.
Built-in video card Intel HD Graphics 405 (Braswell) Received 16 units and is a renamed version Intel HD Graphics (Broadwell) . Its operating frequencies are quite low - 320-700 MHz, respectively, the game performance is extremely limited. For example, Counter-Strike: Go 2012 on Medium in the resolution of 1366x768 pixels will go from 32 FPS, while Sims 4 2014 with similar settings will be practically non-chamber with 19 FPS.
The amount of RDR3L-1600 MHz RAM is 4 GB with an expansion of up to 8 GB. Also provides a hard disk with a volume of 500 GB and the speed of rotation of the spindle 5400 rpm.
Ports and communications
The main part of the connectors is concentrated on the left side of the housing: RJ-45, HDMI, USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and combined audio jack.
The right buttons are the power and volume control buttons, the LEDs of the hard disk and power operation, as well as the socket for the charger. The SD card reader is located on the rear surface of the case.
The laptop provides support for wireless technologies: Wi-Fi 802.11b / g / n and bluetooth.
Battery
The capacity of the built-in 4-section lithium polymer battery is 3270 mAh. This is a bit, but a good autonomy is achieved in a complex with a low-power processor. For example, in the game at maximum brightness, you can play for three hours, watch movies with medium brightness - about five hours, and work in a text editor is about ten hours.Widget from Socialmart.
