And in this case it’s not even about high resolutions, it’s just that the viewing angles are poor you need to position the display at a very precise angle in order to view it optimally. It’s unusual and not very eye catching, so you’ll need to look for it! A disappointing displayĪ good display is one of my main priorities when buying a laptop, and unfortunately the Acer Aspire R11 really disappoints in this department.
Acer have cleverly squeezed in an SD card slot on the base of the laptop, but directly under the display. Flip to the right side and there’s the power button, a volume rocker and a port for the power cable. On the left flank of the Acer Aspire R11 you’ll find one ethernet and one HDMI port, two USB ports, and an audio jack. However neither of these will make you lose sleep at night, especially at this price. Firstly, if you press down enough on the keyboard or trackpad, the entire surface of the laptop bends a little and the display is far from rock solid either. Take a few pokes at the main body of the Aspire R11 and you should be pleased with how sturdy it is, and until now I’ve noticed only two small nitpicks. Because it’s so hefty and not exactly the thinnest laptop around, it’s not the kind of machine you’d envision taking on a business trip or casual trip to the coffee shop - but rather the kind of laptop you’d use on the sofa at home.
The Acer Aspire R11 has a very nice plastic, textured shell and when you pick it up, you can definitely tell that this thing is built like a tank. The Acer Aspire R11 is an 11-inch, Windows 10 laptop-tablet hybrid that falls right into budget territory at £220 (at the time of writing), but while the pricing seems awfully tempting, does this affordable laptop deliver? A tough build… mostly The Acer Aspire R11 has a tough plastic body Between Chromebooks, tablets and budget Windows laptops, there’s a bunch of different options to suit the budget-minded customer. Mid-2016 is a good time to be shopping around for a new computer without spending a fortune. The Bottom Line: If you’re limited on budget then the Aspire R11 could be worth a glance, but with the display and performance weighing it down, you may be better served by a cheaper Chromebook or spending more on a better Windows machine. The Bad: The Aspire R11’s mediocre display is going to limit how you use it, the trackpad isn’t great and general performance can be very slow. The Good: An affordable laptop with a strong build, good battery life, comfortable keyboard and large trackpad.
