I'm Seamus burn for seen it from efore 2014 in Berlin Germany and we're looking at the Acer Aspire r-13 now this is a new model that's blending some of the ideas from their slicker s series and the older R series that gives it the convertible elements alongside that kind of slicker s vibe so the R 13 here has a screen that does rotate into a few different positions they call it the the easel stand and it basically means it's quite a nice kind of system that just lets you very comfortably and in a quite stable way shift the screen in a lot of different positions so it can kind of step forward into a you know a nice easel position for working with a pen you can you know flip it backwards go go flat into a tablet mode and you go backwards in your presentation mode as well so there's a lot of different ways to use it they're offering it in a very high spec level as well so while it's starting prices are going to be a US $8.99 in America and then euro $8.99 a here in Europe with other prices to be confirmed soon it will be able to be Specht up all the way to Intel Core i7 to eight gigs of RAM and up to a terabyte of SSD storage in raid 0 so they're really offering some serious specs with this device it's overall I think it's a very premium feeling device from Acer and the screen itself does feel nice it's Gorilla Glass it has an ante fingerprint coating a lot of nice features the speaker system is a Dolby home theater speaker system the speakers actually shoot downwards underneath the the the main body of the device and they've pointed out that even if your so you're viewing it in presentation mode it will intelligently adjust the orientation of your speaker sound to keep the right and left channel in the right locations so overall really nice looking device um you've got yo USB 3 HDMI a lot of the different ports that you care about SD card slot all those kinds of elements and the optional S Pen or S Pen rather the the Acer active pen is what they're calling it and that lets you again duel sort of fine work on the screen when you're using in that forward easel mode so we'll get to see a lot more specs with this as we get hands-on soon but I am Seamus burn from Aoife 2014 here in Berlin
