Customer Ratings & Reviews

Speedy, responds well to touch, uploads. Boots on and off quickly, lightwieght

It is a wonderful piece of technology; light weight and mobile. I love the touch screen and being able to use it as an oversize tablet.

Love everything about this laptop. It's fast, boots up quickly, and can convert to a tablet. Lightweight, and perfect for students.

I will be using this laptop when I am away from my larger desktop systems. I was surprised to realize it out performs either of them. I won't be storing too much data so the speedy Solid State Drive is a big plus. Screen quality is sensational, very good for preliminary quality photo editing. The i5 processor has lots of headroom for future programs.

After spending 15 out of 30 days working with Geek Squad online and at the Best Buy Store to get rid of error messages on my first Acer R5 - 471T, the machine completely failed with a clean install of W10. Best Buy's Geek Squad graciously offered me a store credit equal to what I originally paid. I chose to try a second Acer Aspire R5-471T, have the Geek Squad set it up for me and, then, I started rebuilding my customized preferences one more time. I have been VERY pleasantly surprised to have had everything work properly without any further intervention from the Geek Squad. I even got brave, eventually, and tried the same game app which had revealed there was a graphics problem on my first R5. Amazingly, the old error messages have never appeared on my 2nd Aspire R5 laptop. I am quite happy about that! I do tend to stay with the desktop operation rather than the W10 apps and I use a wireless mouse to navigate. So, I can't really give feedback on the "tablet" and "touch" function of the Aspire R5-471T other than the device feels kind of bulky when I try to use it as a tablet with the keyboard folded back-to-back with the screen. The all-black Acer Aspire R-461T won't win any beauty contests but it seems to be a "pretty" functional laptop for these past 2.5 weeks I've been using it.

This is a good laptop for its price very fast and better than my vista.

Although I have yet to really put this computer to the test in terms of all the different features it has, so far it has been an excellent computer for streaming video and simple things like browsing the internet. Very fast boot up, full 1080p display, 2-in-1 feature is nice and touch screen is responsive. Hopefully I can put up a more detailed review once I have tested out all of its capabilities, but so far so good. Definitely would recommend this computer to someone looking for one around the $700 range.

I like having a lap top that is a touch screen. Lighter than my lap top,

Reasonable laptop for the price. Very light with good battery life.

Light weight and thin but hard to open without long fingernails. I bought it to use with my sewing machine and take to classes. Easy to design embroideries and then stitch out on my machine. The only problem was that it was a display model and the salesman did not take off the Best Buy set up so I had to drive another 90 miles to get it ready for use.

I've enjoyed it's compact size for use in class and I don't have to have numerous devises. The tablet function is very handy . Takes time to get used to after a standard laptop. Only reason for 4 of 5 is just taking time to find the things I need on the screen or have to search for everything. That is the software, Windows 10 I know but, still related.

We were a little hesitant to buy an Acer, because it was a little out of our price range, and the salesguy said there had been issues with the brand before. But then he said this one had great reviews, and he hadn't seen any returns of this model. I'm so glad we bought it! It's lightning fast (okay, maybe not THAT fast), and does everything I need it to do. Well, except burn CDs--no burner. But I guess that's ancient technology now. ; ) I really love this computer!!

This laptop has awesome specs. The solid state drive in addition to the i5 processor make it very fast. I love how I could use it as a laptop or switch it to a tablet if I like. I would say the only negative to this laptop is the solid state drive is not large enough for my files I have to use external hard drives to store everything.

Good value for what you get - almost $200 less than similar spec Lenovo! Works great and bloatware isn't too bad. Feels sluggish sometimes but i put that down to the i5 processor. If you afford and extra $200 go for the i7 processor - comes with bigger SSD also.

I was looking to add a Windows laptop to my mac family as it gets a little frustrating sometimes when you need a different platform to use certain tools or software. I went through few other touch screen 2in1 (dell was horrible and had to return it twice) until I found this. No issues so far and using it for some SQL and SAS.

Solid state starts up very quickly. Very little heat is generated and the battery life is excellent.

My grandparents asked for my help when purchasing a new laptop. The relatively low weight and generous display of this sleek laptop immediately caught my eye. My grandparents can carry it throughout their home and the large display makes it easier for them to read emails. The solid state hard drive is an added bonus.

Loads super fast. Very versatile as laptop or tablet. Lightweight and durable. Love this laptop!

This Acer is nice and quick, I'm coming from a 2011 Macbook pro, and this thing is light years ahead in every way. It's got a nice Full HD screen and backlit keyboard. The track pad takes a little getting used to though, especially coming from a mac. Overall I'm extremely happy with this purchase.

After my research, I came to the store to experience it. The store associate recommended a much more expensive Apple product, which I have absolutely no interest in, and I insisted on this convertible laptop. It's perfect for what I use it for. It's fast with large enough screen and light weight.
