i'm dan ackerman and we're here taking a very first look at a very unusual new laptop that is the Acer Aspire r7 it's a 15 inch touchscreen laptop that seems normal enough but the screen is on this very unique hinge that actually pulls forward allowing you to pull the screen closer to your face and then you can take that screen and actually rotate it all the way back so the screen is facing out from the back of the system kind of a kiosk mode and from there you can actually fold the screen down so that it's a kind of a 15 inch tablet although it doesn't fold completely flat that's still like a 4-degree gap on one end which kind of makes it hard to pick up and you know carry around as a tablet another very unusual thing about the r7 is that the touchpad is not at the bottom of the keyboard it's at the top of the keyboard which is something you very rarely see people messing around with a touch pad placement a laptop the couple of times we seen it hasn't really worked out so good we're gonna have to spend some more time with this system to see if it works or not even though it's very unusual one thing I did like about the r7 in particular was the price it's going to be available later in May for 999 I'm Dan Akron and that's the Acer Aspire r7
