Earlier this year, we looked at Acers R7 laptop an interesting hybrid device that moves the keyboard forward and the touchpad back, with the idea being that youll use the touchscreen display rather than the touchpad. Its big selling point is the Ezel hinge, which allows you to do a few other things besides shifting the screen forward, like turning the R7 into a table, or flipping the screen over for presentation mode. While I wouldnt call the original R7 a bad laptop, at the same time its not laptop for everyone, and it definitely had a few flaws. Acer has now updated the R7 line with a Haswell processor, and theyve added an active digitizer as a bonus (though the stylus to make use of the active digitizer is an optional extra). Is that enough to change the R7 from a quirky laptop into something great?
