Acer named as 2015 CES Innovation Awards honoree
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 11 - 2014

ACER has been named a 2015 CES Innovation Awards Honoree for its Aspire R 13 Series of Convertible Notebooks. Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 29 product categories.

The Aspire R 13's display is affixed at the sides to Acer's unique Ezel Aero Hinge, which allows the screen to rotate 180-degrees, so the notebook can be used in six different ways:

• Notebook mode - provides a precise and spacious keyboard for maximum productivity.

• Ezel mode - brings the display close for convenient reading and web browsing.

• Stand mode - makes it easy to draw a flow chart, take notes, brainstorm with others or edit artwork. The stand is sturdy enough for drawing and other touchscreen interactions.

• Pad mode - enables the R 13 to be used as a tablet for web browsing, playing games or watching videos. The screen fits perfectly in the chassis frame, so it's steam-lined and easy to hold.

• Display mode - good for viewing photos and video or playing games with others.

• Tent mode - the ideal display position when space is limited, such as an airplane's seatback tray.

In addition, Acer's patented dual-torque system hinge keeps the display stable and in place when touch navigation is used; it is attached to a forged U frame, which also helps to enhance stiffness while maintaining the notebook's slim design. These unique hinges enable the Aspire R 13 to combine the productivity features of a traditional clamshell notebook with the convenience of a tablet.

Thin and lightweight at less than 1 inch thick and just over 3 pounds, the notebook is still highly durable. The 13.3-inch touchscreen display and outer lid are both encased in a slim, but strong, sheet of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The displays are available in either super high-resolution (WQHD) (2560 x 1440) or full high-definition (FHD) (1920 x 1080). Photos, videos, games and presentations are strikingly vivid and detailed; text is sharp and crystal clear. Both displays include Zero Air Gap Technology, which ensures vivid, lifelike visuals. It reduces reflections, heightens contrast, creates bright and crisp images and improves readability in sunlight. FHD models feature IPS technology, which provides wide viewing angles, making it ideal for sharing movies and photos or for work presentations. In addition, anti-fingerprint technology helps eliminate smudges and makes the displays easier to clean, while Corning's newly developed AR/ETC technology minimizes reflections and improves the display's contrast. A built-in light sensor automatically adjusts the screen's brightness to enhance the screen image, making it easier to see and read based on the ambient lighting in the room.

The Aspire R 13 Series can also be used with an optional Acer Active Pen for drawing, creating and collaborating. — SG
