i just wanted to let you know you are the most thorough and experienced reviewer I have seen. You're videos are very long but clearly don't feel that way. Keep up the good work!
What an excellent reviewer. So many talk, and talk, and talk, without telling us an awful lot. This lady as got the balance spot on. Just bought An Acer R7 after watching her presentation
Still got mine in 2019 - it has had a upgrade to 500gb SSD plus 12 GB ram and still going strong such a unique design i have bought and sold plenty of PCs over the last last few years but not this one
I have this laptop and its a beast I barely ever find myself needing to use the track pad and once I upgrade my ram and switch to an SSD its going to be a beast!
Had this since launch. Still think its the best looking laptop ever. they recently released a new 13 inch which looks rubbish. Seriously hope they advanced on the original r7 design as i would upgrade with no hestiation. Seriously married to this machine lol
I'll try and take the cover off again for our full written review. To my eye, there are no screws under the rubber feet, but I'll be checking that more closely. It could be plastic clips like Samsung uses, but it feels like something more toward the center. I'm sure I can get it off and the HDD and RAM will then be ripe for upgrades!
The two big differences between this and the MacBook Pro non-Retina would be the touch screen/convertible design of the Acer and which OS you'd rather use.
We may review the Aspire P3, but it's pretty much the Acer W700 with a new style accessory keyboard. Not a lot has changed. But the keyboard is definitely an improvement. The rest of the machine was very solid from the start.
While a lot of people are complaining about the lack of a wrist rest, being forced to type with floating wrists helps prevent carpal tunelling that's more acquirable today due to the wrist rest habit. It used to be a problem for pianists and guitarists who didn't level their elbows, wrists, and fingers.
I'd be incredibly amazed if Acer paired the R7's ULV Ultrabook CPU with that high end a dedicated graphics card. They'd need a very different power supply and battery to handle that as well. I could see a completely different model with a similar design though.
The fact that the mouse pad is closer to the screen is a bonus for me. Why? I am sure this has happened to you too, when you are typing fast your thumb accidentally touched the mouse and you keep typing where your cursor is.... I think this laptop is a right step towards the right direction... I have heard some connectivity issues though....
I find all your reviews helpful really. The R7 is great, looks like one, but it's too big. Hope to see your review of the Acer Aspire R13 soon, Lisa. :-)
Damn, Im actually thinking about gettung this laptop now! At first, I thought it was ugly, but then I gave it a second, and I actually think it has a quite good design! Great review Lisa! Keep 'em up!
The opinion on the trackpad at the back seems to be mainly negative, but for me it's a revolution! I keep hitting the track pad on regular laptops while I type and it annoyingly clicks on something or place the cursor in a random spot. Plus, I'm a big fan of external mice. That feature is a plus for me! :)
I do lot of typing as well and i think trackpad being in the back is revolutionary as well.. i hate these big trackpads especially now with windows 8 multi touch options. these are really annoying when you are typing.
Alexandre Hudon yes, samething here, not hitting the track pad so much, but i love new position because rarely use track pad, always carry a mouse with my laptop or use a touchscreen. So even it without track pad but good price, i will buy it anyway then lol
Yes, we'll review the ThinkPad Helix as soon as Lenovo gets their review program going. My guess is supply shortages are making them hold back on the review program because they don't want to frustrate buyers who can't find them in stores.
This laptop looks quite cool. I like the fact that it combines function and form quite beautifully. If Acer equips it with an IPS matt display it would be very close to my ideal laptop.
Well, Thanks to Lisa, I'll be getting this Aspire R7. xD , Since I always use a mouse, I won't be using the track pad. It was a hard choice between this and the W510 w/dock. Well, Your reviews are awesome, I just love watching your review videos. Thank You.
The dual hinge is so futuristic it had to take a time machine back to 2007/2008 and take the idea from the incredible desktop replacement notebook, the HP HDX Dragon. Wished they'd come out with a refresh for that awesome 20 inch screen beast.
- Some have said, that the inverted keyboard and touchpad position are uncomfortable, but once you get used to the 15¨ touch screen you don`t need a touchpad any more, so the keyboard results easy to reach. - The 2 in 1 versatility and the different positions of the screen are very useful for different situations (a presentation, a lecture, a reading session, gaming, working). - Great sound and useful back-light keyboard. - A very elegant appearance. - I had my doubts about Acer, but the product exceeded my expectations.
Hi Lisa -- I found the 3 hidden screws! On the bottom, there is a long rubber strip at the top, under the hinge -- lift the rubber on the left and on the right sides (don't have to remove the long strip completely) and you will find a torx screw under each. The third hidden torx screw is the other rubber strip (the other strips are hard plastic) directly straight down from the long rubber strip, nearer the bottom. lift this rubber strip off (glues back easily), and voila -- third hidden screw!
It's all on personal preference. Some people, like myself, want more of a touch screen and less of the touch pad. As for the lack of palm rest, it's just something that you can adapt to. I for one, love the fact that it isn't fully flat when in tablet mode and makes for a better view point. The price is amazing. Keep in mind that everyone has a different opinion. I agree with mizwa.
One other thing, I played with this at Best Buy a few days ago. The screen isn't 100% stiff, but it is MORE than good enough. I loved it and had to fight myself to not walk out with it. If I had a little more "financial flexibility", I would have walked out with it.
The Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD has low-mid range Nvidia dedicated graphics. If you live in Europe you can get the Samsung Series 7 Ultra with low-mid range AMD Radeon graphics. Otherwise, you'll looking at the same Intel HD 4000 graphics on most other Ultrabooks.
There's no active digitizer or digital pen for this model. You can use a capacitive stylus like those sold for the iPad but it's less precise and you'll have to keep your palm off the screen while writing with the stylus.
I have been waiting for someone to finally review this. Seems little fanfare for such a unique launch. I was hoping you would comment more on your impression of how the trackpad is to use. As you state this is the most controversial part of the design and needs some hands on to actually determine how it works. I am waiting this info before buying. Would love some further info on useability of the trackpad in real life. People also use wireless mice when at a desktop anyways. Thanks for the info.
Very good review! I think this review made me cross the line. Im getting an R7, it looks brilliant! The only thing im wondering about is whether im able to watch large movies like 16 gb Blue ray rips on it, or will it have trouble doing that?
Howdy -- Yes I did replace the WD HDD (model # WD5000LPVX) with an Intel 160 GB SSD (SSDSA2MH160G2C1)-- works like a charm! Performance index went from 5.9 to to 7.6 for data transfer, and it's only a Sata II. Two screws hold the HDD cage in place. Very straight forward upgrade, once bottom cover off. Happy Computing.
Hi Lisa -- Kudos for your great reviews! In the R7 review, you mentioned you removed the 10 visible torx screws but the back lid did not come off. Have you found out yet what else needs to be done? I know on some of their other models there are 1 or 2 screws hidden under rubber feet. Would like to upgrade HDD to SSD, but can't find any upgrade tips. Thanks
I don't know why people keep complaining about the kb placement, I prefer the pad above the kb like this, I think that's how it should have been all along! I can't stand it when I'm typing and if the back of my palm so much as brushes the track pad, the cursor moves and I'm typing into another sentence, so frustrating! Thats why I've always preferred the IBM style track point. Good job ACER! I do wish it lays flat in tablet mode though, so BOO for that, but I'm still probably getting it w/ i7
nice review Lisa as always, quick question do you know when the dragon assistant will be out for other laptops? are is it only exclusive to selective ultrabooks at the moment.
You know, You say that the track pad location is bad, but as someone who always HATED where the track pad was located on laptops. I would always turn it off and just use a mouse to keep from hitting it every time I type something. For that reason alone, I find this design intriguing.
Hi Lisa, thanks for another amazing review! Btw, I was wondering how you would clean this (or any other) ultrabook IPS display...any special cloths or cleaning liquids? I'm just scared of possibly scratching one of these beautiful displays.
hey Lisa, thank u for ur great reviews!, such a joy watching them cuz u try to include everything ppl need to know, and i like that u add miner gamers point of view too :D, if i may recommand, it would be great if u can review the Fujitsu Q702 (the swiss knife of tablets xD), not so many good reviews for it. thanks again for ur reviews ;).
thats good to hear. I am not sure about getting an acer because I have had an macbook pro for 3.5 years. This looks very good with a pen and tablet in one.
Once i start using in touch mode, i never wanna use the track pad again. And hence this design is great for that. I just wished higher specs like i7, NVidi Tegra, etc.
Great review! Thanks so much! I actually went to Best Buy yesterday and demanded to take it out of the box. Very nice machine from the first look, didn't have enough time to play with it. Don't really give a damn about touch pad, never used it anyway. I will get a Bluetooth mouse if I need to do something precise. Getting used to rest you palms a little differently will be just a matter of time. Very curious if the HDD is replaceable, would like to switch it to 256GB SSD, on info on it the site
I REAAAAAALLLY like this laptop. I just randomly spotted in in bestbuy today after disconcerning myself with laptops during this long drought of good laptops. Anyway, I was going to get it but apparently, it's horrible for video editing (which i NEED) and gaming (dont need but would be nice). So i was also considering the surface pro. im sure by now you realise im looking for some sort of tablet laptop type computing experience.
There's one more point to add, when I first saw this design, it could also be attractive to those who suffered cervical spondylosis. The reason is that the screen can be tilted in a more comfortable position than ordinary laptop.
Personally I'm amazed by the design. It's slick and intuitive. Hot as hell. Eye candy... I have nothing against the touchpad placement, as I won't be using it at all either way. Got my bluetooth mouse and a huge touch screen. Funny how the touchpad placement is a deal breaker for some.
I was really liking this until I realised that there is no space to put my wrists. I dont use a trackpad anyway. Any thoughts on that Lisa? Love your reviews.
Real nice video review. What is the speed of the ram? I am planning to purchase one but want to upgrade the hard drive to an OCZ 256GB SSD Vector Series drive as well as the memory. Can I put a DDR3 1600MHz PC3 12800 memory into this laptop? thank you
Lisa, Do you get the sense that the hinge could loosen up over two or three months? I would worry that might happen over time, though it is great industrial design.
Please spec out an R7 571 vs 572 during a smackdown... also please include the n-trig pen, and tell us where we can buy them... none are available at Best Buy.
Hi Lisa, I have looked endlessly for this laptop in 2015, Do you know if I can still get it in 2018, if so where? Im based in Johannesburg South Africa . I still love it
I think this is a really great concept and i'd like to get one but there is one thing i'm worried about. The battery life, i'm gonna use it for school, and 4 hours seems to be a little shy of what i need. Do you think it will last up 6-8 hours if i use it for writing and light media browsing ?
No, sadly I'm in the "it tried to kill me on the highway" phase. But it does indeed *look* awesome ;) Seems like gremlins in the steering computers in the car (I love CPUs in my gadgets, not in my car at this point).
Nicolas Augusto are you kidding me? in my country this chocolate costs 799$ on amazon with even better spec, 8GB ram and 750GB hard drive. So what the fuck is your country that this chocolate costs 3.5 grands?
Did you ever get around to taking the back panel off? I just ordered one of these and I intend to swap out the hard drive for a solid state, and I'm debating whether to tinker around inside myself or take it somewhere and pay someone else to do it. Your remarks about it feeling like something was still holding the back in place after the screws were removed makes me nervous about doing it myself...
i just wanted to let you know you are the most thorough and experienced reviewer I have seen. You're videos are very long but clearly don't feel that way. Keep up the good work!
What an excellent reviewer. So many talk, and talk, and talk, without telling us an awful lot. This lady as got the balance spot on. Just bought An Acer R7 after watching her presentation
Best r7 review I could find, very full and informative. Thanks from the UK.
Thanks, glad you enjoy the reviews!
Yes, it's usable with the screen raised and parallel to the base, it's a fairly stiff hinge and Acer designed it to be used that way.
Still got mine in 2019 - it has had a upgrade to 500gb SSD plus 12 GB ram and still going strong such a unique design i have bought and sold plenty of PCs over the last last few years but not this one
The game is called Guns 4 Hire. It's free in the Windows 8 app store.
I have this laptop and its a beast I barely ever find myself needing to use the track pad and once I upgrade my ram and switch to an SSD its going to be a beast!
Had this since launch. Still think its the best looking laptop ever. they recently released a new 13 inch which looks rubbish. Seriously hope they advanced on the original r7 design as i would upgrade with no hestiation.

My bad, glad you like the reviews!
Great review! I ended up getting the new version that came out a couple of months ago (R7-572) and love it.
I really do love your views. They're in-depth, smart and tell everyone including gamer's like me what we need to know. thank you so much!
While a lot of people are complaining about the lack of a wrist rest, being forced to type with floating wrists helps prevent carpal tunelling that's more acquirable today due to the wrist rest habit.

Great design and concept. Let's just hope that hinge holds up well over time.
I bought one yesterday and it is really cool, freakin' me out. Two year warranty here in Taiwan.
I find all your reviews helpful really. The R7 is great, looks like one, but it's too big. Hope to see your review of the Acer Aspire R13 soon, Lisa. :-)
Damn, Im actually thinking about gettung this laptop now! At first, I thought it was ugly, but then I gave it a second, and I actually think it has a quite good design! Great review Lisa! Keep 'em up!
Very, very good review! Thank You for your time and patience, explaining us all about Acer Aspire R7 in details. I really liked the machine.
Here in the US, there isn't yet a Core i7 option for the Acer R7 (for the Yoga 13, there is).
The opinion on the trackpad at the back seems to be mainly negative, but for me it's a revolution! I keep hitting the track pad on regular laptops while I type and it annoyingly clicks on something or place the cursor in a random spot. Plus, I'm a big fan of external mice. That feature is a plus for me! :)
I do lot of typing as well and i think trackpad being in the back is revolutionary as well.. i hate these big trackpads especially now with windows 8 multi touch options. these are really annoying when you are typing.
Same here. Love this laptop.
You guys can turn it off
Alexandre Hudon yes, samething here, not hitting the track pad so much, but i love new position because rarely use track pad, always carry a mouse with my laptop or use a touchscreen. So even it without track pad but good price, i will buy it anyway then lol
Thanks for providing such a comprehensive and informative review. I'm sure this'll be really helpful for many people.
It does not have a capacitive pen. Warranties vary by country due to regulations. Here in the US it has a 1 year warranty.
Yes, we'll review the ThinkPad Helix as soon as Lenovo gets their review program going. My guess is supply shortages are making them hold back on the review program because they don't want to frustrate buyers who can't find them in stores.

Depends on your budget and portability requirements.
The dual hinge is so futuristic it had to take a time machine back to 2007/2008 and take the idea from the incredible desktop replacement notebook, the HP HDX Dragon. Wished they'd come out with a refresh for that awesome 20 inch screen beast.
- Some have said, that the inverted keyboard and touchpad position are uncomfortable, but once you get used to the 15¨ touch screen you don`t need a touchpad any more, so the keyboard results easy to reach.
- The 2 in 1 versatility and the different positions of the screen are very useful for different situations (a presentation, a lecture, a reading session, gaming, working).
- Great sound and useful back-light keyboard.
- A very elegant appearance.
- I had my doubts about Acer, but the product exceeded my expectations.
I can't believe I learned about this just now! What a cool functional device!
The way the hinge is designed and the heavy duty materials used make me think this hinge will last.
Hi Lisa -- I found the 3 hidden screws! On the bottom, there is a long rubber strip at the top, under the hinge -- lift the rubber on the left and on the right sides (don't have to remove the long strip completely) and you will find a torx screw under each. The third hidden torx screw is the other rubber strip (the other strips are hard plastic) directly straight down from the long rubber strip, nearer the bottom. lift this rubber strip off (glues back easily), and voila -- third hidden screw!
No only works with capacitive styli, not digital pens that have pressure sensitivity.
using it since may this year.
The I7 version 256GB SSD
still love it :)
It's all on personal preference. Some people, like myself, want more of a touch screen and less of the touch pad. As for the lack of palm rest, it's just something that you can adapt to. I for one, love the fact that it isn't fully flat when in tablet mode and makes for a better view point. The price is amazing.

Great review Lisa. I would love to see the inside of this amazing machine.
One other thing, I played with this at Best Buy a few days ago. The screen isn't 100% stiff, but it is MORE than good enough. I loved it and had to fight myself to not walk out with it. If I had a little more "financial flexibility", I would have walked out with it.

I finaly retired this bad boy. loved it so much !
Yes, it has internet. The wireless controller is a Acer InviLink Nplify and the laptop is wifi certified.
Great reveiw, lady. Thanks a lot.
Also Its Nice To See People that Arent 20 For Once Doing Reviews!
This looks so awesome! It's a laptop and a tablet. Sweet!
Hi Lisa, love you reviews, I've seen that BMW Z4 quite a lot lately, is that what you drive? or you are just a fan of it?
Pen digitizers in machines over 11.6" are pretty rare right now. You might have to think smaller.
I have been waiting for someone to finally review this. Seems little fanfare for such a unique launch. I was hoping you would comment more on your impression of how the trackpad is to use.

Also, are you planning on someday reviewing the leap motion device? It looks AWESOME.
Good going! You found those hidden screws!

Thank you Lisa. Outstanding reviews as usual. Do you know if it has a Wacom digitizer? seems ideal for Photoshop work!
Hi Lisa, thanks for another amazing review! Btw, I was wondering how you would clean this (or any other) ultrabook IPS display...any special cloths or cleaning liquids? I'm just scared of possibly scratching one of these beautiful displays.
Will you do a Thinkpad Helix review when you get your hands on it? It looks like the most promising utilisation of Windows 8 so far.
hey Lisa, thank u for ur great reviews!, such a joy watching them cuz u try to include everything ppl need to know, and i like that u add miner gamers point of view too :D, if i may recommand, it would be great if u can review the Fujitsu Q702 (the swiss knife of tablets xD), not so many good reviews for it. thanks again for ur reviews ;).
It helps typing when its in tablet mode because of the angle. Its actually pretty light for a laptop and its only 1.1 inches...
i bought this lap top two weeks ago really nice . touch is very soft .
i love your reviews, keep it up.
thats good to hear. I am not sure about getting an acer because I have had an macbook pro for 3.5 years. This looks very good with a pen and tablet in one.
You can actually remove bloatware through a fresh install in Windows 8 natively. It's located in settings.
Very Awesome Laptop Lisa, Where Do You Get All These Darn Products!!
Acer Aspire R7 is the device for those who are looking for a home PC that can mould itself for many tasks. Really Awesome!!!!
We will definitely review the Sony Xperia Tablet Z.
Once i start using in touch mode, i never wanna use the track pad again. And hence this design is great for that.
I just wished higher specs like i7, NVidi Tegra, etc.
nVidia Tegra is considered HIGHER SPECS? you crazy o wat.....Thats cell phone specs , ie. ARM architecture. These laptops srun on x86 architecture.
Sorry, don't know about Dragon Assistant's exclusivity.
portable,stylish and that too at an affordable price..thumbs up to this one..
Great review! Thanks so much! I actually went to Best Buy yesterday and demanded to take it out of the box. Very nice machine from the first look, didn't have enough time to play with it. Don't really give a damn about touch pad, never used it anyway. I will get a Bluetooth mouse if I need to do something precise. Getting used to rest you palms a little differently will be just a matter of time. Very curious if the HDD is replaceable, would like to switch it to 256GB SSD, on info on it the site
OMG! i love this design...... well done Acer
I REAAAAAALLLY like this laptop. I just randomly spotted in in bestbuy today after disconcerning myself with laptops during this long drought of good laptops. Anyway, I was going to get it but apparently, it's horrible for video editing (which i NEED) and gaming (dont need but would be nice). So i was also considering the surface pro. im sure by now you realise im looking for some sort of tablet laptop type computing experience.
There's one more point to add, when I first saw this design, it could also be attractive to those who suffered cervical spondylosis. The reason is that the screen can be tilted in a more comfortable position than ordinary laptop.
Very cool aesthetics, and a great innovative design for work.
Seen it today and the screen is really good..nice resolution n colors.. Considering.....
hi from Egypt lisa
really thanks for your nice review . really simple and nice
Personally I'm amazed by the design. It's slick and intuitive. Hot as hell. Eye candy... I have nothing against the touchpad placement, as I won't be using it at all either way. Got my bluetooth mouse and a huge touch screen. Funny how the touchpad placement is a deal breaker for some.
I was really liking this until I realised that there is no space to put my wrists. I dont use a trackpad anyway. Any thoughts on that Lisa? Love your reviews.
Real nice video review. What is the speed of the ram? I am planning to purchase one but want to upgrade the hard drive to an OCZ 256GB SSD Vector Series drive as well as the memory. Can I put a DDR3 1600MHz PC3 12800 memory into this laptop? thank you
Lisa, Do you get the sense that the hinge could loosen up over two or three months? I would worry that might happen over time, though it is great industrial design.
I was wondering the same question. The only I see it missing is the CD drive for sims 3 but I guess you could always use an external CD drive.
Does your shirt say "Developer Mode Enabled"? I like that, where did you get it?
This laptop is phenomenal!
Please spec out an R7 571 vs 572 during a smackdown... also please include the n-trig pen, and tell us where we can buy them... none are available at Best Buy.
Hi Lisa, I have looked endlessly for this laptop in 2015, Do you know if I can still get it in 2018, if so where? Im based in Johannesburg South Africa . I still love it
Best reviews on the web
I think this is a really great concept and i'd like to get one but there is one thing i'm worried about. The battery life, i'm gonna use it for school, and 4 hours seems to be a little shy of what i need.
Do you think it will last up 6-8 hours if i use it for writing and light media browsing ?
Wait for the ativ q price tag if it comes soon. Hopefully
No, sadly I'm in the "it tried to kill me on the highway" phase. But it does indeed *look* awesome ;) Seems like gremlins in the steering computers in the car (I love CPUs in my gadgets, not in my car at this point).
I'd get this, mostly because of its good specs and unique design for a *cheap price*
It's amazing
CHEAP? It's 800 hundred pounds !
GamingGalore2625 Game
are u kidding me? in my country this shit costs $3500
Nicolas Augusto are you kidding me? in my country this chocolate costs 799$ on amazon with even better spec, 8GB ram and 750GB hard drive.
So what the fuck is your country that this chocolate costs 3.5 grands?
Price is around $1.7K
I would probably wait for version with Haswell processors, but you never know when it will come out
*the only review of the R7 to date? I can't find any others.
Did you ever get around to taking the back panel off? I just ordered one of these and I intend to swap out the hard drive for a solid state, and I'm debating whether to tinker around inside myself or take it somewhere and pay someone else to do it. Your remarks about it feeling like something was still holding the back in place after the screws were removed makes me nervous about doing it myself...
ok thanks, i understand was just wondering if its gonna release anytime soon. :)
