the Acer Chromebook r-13 is a nice laptop for people with simple needs it has a sleek aluminum lid that looks as nice as a MacBook but it costs considerably less starting at $400 it's expensive compared to other cheap $200 Chromebooks yet the Acer is a great deal in comparison to any macbook it's a two-in-one meaning it can also be used as a tablet it has a built in 360-degree hinge that allows it screen to tilt all the way back or you can prop it up like a tent for watching video it's a bit too heavy to hold like you would a tablet but it works ok if it's on a flat surface its heaviness may be due to its big battery in her tests it lasted 13 hours which makes it one of the longest lasting Chromebooks we've ever tested it also has plenty of ports for your connection needs like USB type-c HDMI full USB and a micro SD card slot like all Chromebooks the Acer Chromebook runs chrome operating system a simple OS based around online use and Google's apps and it performs really well I had no performance or lag issues during my time with it the only time it's performance slowdown was when I had over 10 tabs open and was loading multiple video streams at the time of the review the Acer Chromebook didn't have access to Android apps via the Google Play Store but it's a feature that's expected sometime during 2017 Chromebooks are minimal alternative to Mac and Windows laptops and for the price the Acer Chromebook R 13 with this versatile design and long battery life is one of the better options out there
