“The 13-inch touch display is large and vibrant, so it’s ideal for anything from homework and spreadsheets to games, video and fun apps, said James Lin, General Manager, Commercial & Detachable Notebooks, IT Products Business at Acer. “Plus, up to 12 hours of battery life means our customers can use it at school or work and continue using it into the evening for activities like homework and watching movies.”
With the 360-degree dual-torque hinges that allow the display to be folded back to any degree that the situation requires, allowing the user to switch between four modes:
- Laptop mode keeps the display at 90-degrees from the keyboard for an efficient and productive input and typing experience.
- Display mode bends the keyboard under the system so the display is closer to the viewer. When the Chromebook R 13 is put in this position, the on-screen image auto-rotates to the correct viewing orientation.
- Tent mode provides an ideal viewing and touch experience in confined spaces such as when travelling on a plane or train.
- Pad mode allows the Chromebook to be used as a tablet with the display and keyboard touching, so customers can have an enjoyable way to play, share and browse in both landscape and portrait orientations.
