The Acer Aspire R 15 R5-571TG-7229 15.6-inch is a convertible touchscreen laptop that has received positive reviews for its solid performance thanks to its seventh generation Intel i7-7500U Processor and 12GB of RAM, its beautiful and durable design, its versatility thanks to its 2-in-1 design, its fast 256GB SSD and its decent battery life. Users also liked its beautiful, Full-HD 1920×1080 touchscreen and backlit keyboard. However, criticism was directed towards the fact that there was no Ethernet port, and some noted that the fans can get loud. Furthermore, some reported that the touchpad is not the smoothest and the 940MX is a mid-tier card at best. All-in-all, the Acer Aspire R 15 R5-571TG-7229 15.6-inch convertible touchscreen laptop has great hardware to maximize your productivity, but it is not the most capable gaming PC.
