It has a built-in battery that will allow users to take the device on the go, while the addition of a mouse and keyboard will turn it into a regular PC if the user is staying put, PC World reported.

Also, the laptop features MU-MIMO for faster downloads than 802.11ac products and the “multiuser multiple input, multiple output” wireless technology, which allows wireless routers transmit to and receive data from multiple Wi-Fi devices at the same time.
Its convertible keyboard can be used in the usual laptop mode or switched to a “display mode” by placing the keyboard behind the screen to make a tent or laying it flat under the display. Aspire R 14 features sounds technology of Dolby Audio. It has four modes to control blue-light emission from the screen and reduce eyestrain via using Acer’s BluelightShield.
