    The tablet mode is very helpful and we find it preferable to a regular computer. The keyboard lights up, which is useful for dark rooms.

    Great 2 in 1. Built very well. Do not get the 8hrs in battery life closer to 6hrs under moderate usage. But that is to be expected with a i7 processor. Also note that this is a Dual Core with hyper threading. Over all really great buy.

    I was looking for a replacement for an older I3 machine but could not justify a Surface Pro. After a lot of research, settled on the Acer. Easy setup and used a 3rd party software to move applications from old machine to the new one. Display is bright. Really appreciate the lighted keys. Haven't really explored the tablet side of this machine but initial use was great. Happy with purchase.

    I think Acer has come a long way in the past several years and I am gravitating toward them more and more. They offer good build quality with the right options for a reasonable price. The new Aspire R5-571TG is certainly continuing that mind set. To start, this is an absolutely beautiful machine. The brushed aluminum shell looks really slick and has a nice touch of class to it that the plastic shelled machines just can't come close to. I didn't really think I would benefit from the 2 in 1 features, but the more I use the machine, the more I like being able to use it as a tablet as well. The HD touch screen has a glossy finish that really makes the colors deep and rich. In touch screen mode, the screen itself is very responsive and I've never had to re-tap something to select it. The machine comes with a huge amount of options, not the least of which are the variety of USB ports. USB 2, USB 3 and even USB 3.1 are all present for a total of four. There's also an HDMI port, a mic/headphone jack, and an SD card reader. There's even a separate volume rocker switch that seems unheard of anymore, but it's a nice addition (there are still volume function keys as well). The 7th generation Intel Core i7 processor runs at 2.7GHz and is fast and competent. I noticed no lag when playing Diablo III at full resolution. It's very capable and didn't ever seem like it was struggling to keep up with me. 12GB of memory is adequate for most Windows based programs and it's complimented by the NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics card with 2GB of dedicated graphics memory. One thing that really stands out with this machine is the wireless ac network abilities. This machine includes MU-MIMO technology and for anyone with a router capable of this same technology, you will definitely benefit in the network speed department. My ISP provides me with 150Gb speeds and with this machine over wireless, I achieve speeds of between 170 to 180Gb as measured by Ookla Speedtest. And that's in an outlaying corner of my house. There is no Ethernet port on this machine so everything relies on a wireless connection. The Aspire R5-571TG has pretty much everything you could want on a home or business class machine. It's very slim and stylish and aside from a missing Ethernet port, has all the hard connections you could want. A CD/DVD drive is also absent on this guy, but that seems to be the new norm for this type of machine and an external drive (if it is needed), is cheap. I'd rather have a slimmer machine without the drive instead of a larger machine with a disc drive I would hardly ever use. The back lit keyboard is great for working in low light conditions and it has a full compliment of keys with a full function row as well as a dedicated numeric portion. It also comes with Bluetooth and a built in web cam. The battery seems to be adequate and is listed as lasting upwards of seven to eight hours although I haven't had an opportunity to put that to an actual test. The Dolby Audio system sounds really good (for a laptop sound system). It does have plenty of power and sounds very spacious with decent bass. As far as included applications, there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of fluff apps and the ones that are included seem to be mostly bundled from Microsoft. Acer does include a nice set of care and support apps from Acer itself, and these are great for support and troubleshooting, finding out your system hardware at a glance, recovery and updates. I really like this machine. It has everything I want and need on a laptop. The 2 in 1 features are a welcome addition and offer a host of other ways to use it. It's quick and has a beautiful touch screen display. It's really a pleasure to use.
