    That's not your eyes deceiving you, and there's no Photoshop trickery afoot here: that is a keyboard in front of the trackpad. And this is the Acer Aspire R7. Is it a laptop, is it a desktop? The Aspire R7 is one of the more unusual takes on the adjustable...

    Acer Aspire V5 Touch (V5-571P-53316G50) review

    By 5 March 2013

    Acer CloudMobile S500 review

    By 20 November 2012
