Acer Chromebook R11

The R11 is a decent, if unspectacular device. Having the option to position it in a variety of modes is fun, but the sometimes sluggish performance makes it hard to recommend to anyone who wants to do more than a couple of simultaneous tasks. If your needs are light and you value the flexible hinges though, it’s a nice machine all the same, but we’d still opt to wait for the 4GB alternative.

Our first impressions of the Chromebook R11 are good – it’s got a brilliant price tag, and is absolutely perfect for anyone who needs slightly more than a tablet can offer them in terms of screen size and the keyboard, but doesn’t want to splash out on a full laptop when they’re mainly going to be using it for word processing and browsing the web. It’s a shame that it’s a bit on the heavy side for tablet use, and battery life could be better, but overall it’s an impressive new entry into the Chromebook market from Acer.
