    The Acer Aspire R14 is an affordable convertible ultrabook, with a sleek attractive plastic design and a potent Intel Core i5-4210U CPU. The Aspire R14’s well built 360 degree hinge makes it easy to switch between modes and the Zero Air Gap design makes the touch controls responsive and easy to use. Listed at only $650 the Aspire R14 is a more affordable option to Lenovo’s more expensive Yoga line. However, the lower cost comes as a price as the R14 houses a sub par 14-inch TN display. The glossy panels 1366 x 768 resolution feels lackluster in comparison to the competing FHD displays that now populate the market.

    Does Acer Aspire R14 offer enough quality features to make up for its low resolution display? Read the full review to find out.

    Q. What could be worse than a 14" 1366x768 screen?
    A. That screen held at tablet distances.

    And it's a TN panel... Oh my...
    I mean, if you have to go with 768p, at least make it a proper panel...
