The Acer Chromebook R13 is a little more expensive than other Chromebooks, but that’s because it’s a 2-in-1 hybrid with the long-lasting Acer Chromebook R13 laptop battery. It’s a convertible laptop with a touchscreen and a 360-degree hinge that can be used as a tablet. It also has commendably long-lasting Acer laptop battery life, a stylish aluminum lid, and plenty of ports for connecting peripherals.
Depending on your needs, you may be able to find more affordable alternatives. However, the Acer Chromebook is something of a diamond in the rough when it comes to 2-in-1 Chromebooks with long Chromebooks battery l ife. If you want to spend more, Samsung’s Chromebook Pro has a higher-resolution hybrid touchscreen with an included stylus, and runs Google Play Android apps.
Affordable 2-in-1 Chromebook that lasts all dayAboutAcer Chromebook Laptop BatteryLifeOne big reason to buy the Acer Chromebook R13: battery life.
In our battery tests, the 13-inch Chromebook averaged 13 hours of battery life, which is well above the average battery life we’ve seen on Chromebooks. A “good” 13-inch Chromebook battery life for a Chromebook is about 8 to 10 hours, so Acer’s 13-hour average is pretty good if you need something that lasts that long. For most people, 8 to 10 hours will provide a full day’s worth of power. If you need something more powerful than that, the Acer Chromebook R13 is the only Chromebook we’ve tested that’s more durable than the others.
Multifunctional designThe Acer Chromebook 13 has a sleek and stylish aluminum lid that gives it an elegant feel. It’s not as thin and light as the HP Chromebook 13, but it definitely doesn’t look like a budget laptop. On the left side of the laptop, you’ll find plenty of ports to suit your connectivity needs, while a headphone jack, power button, and volume rocker are on the right side.

I prefer the backlit key option, especially since I’m a writer who sometimes has to type in dimly lit environments, but it’s understandable that it won’t be a big deal for others.
The speakers are located on the left and right edges of the front of the computer and are very weak. Their maximum volume can fill a quiet room, so I recommend bringing a pair of headphones.
Physical screenThe Acer Chromebook R13’s screen is very clear, with impressively wide viewing angles; you can clearly see what’s on the screen no matter what angle your title is from.

I don’t really use it as a tablet because it’s too heavy and uncomfortable to hold. However, I often fold it up like a tent while watching videos. The hinge is strong enough to keep the tablet in place without wobbling.
The only area where the Acer Chromebook 13 falls short is in performance. It’s by no means a sluggish lag monster, but compared to other high-end Chromebooks (more on that later), it lags behind other devices in benchmarks.

When multitasking, I could have about 10 tabs open and multiple video streams playing, and there was no lag when switching between tabs. Increasing the number of tabs to 20 will cause your computer to slow down, but this is to be expected. If you need a laptop to occasionally surf the web, play music and movies, read email, or check Facebook, a cheaper Chromebook will do the trick.
Another high-end ChromebookHigh-end Chromebook? Is this a contradiction? No.
There’s been a wave of Chromebooks recently launched, like the Acer Chromebook 13 , that feature sleek designs, crisp screens, and fast processors. Well, it’s sleek, sharp, and fast compared to previous Chromebook models. While the specs of Windows 10 laptops may disappoint, they perform very well on Chrome OS. I don’t expect Chromebooks to have a touchscreen on the keyboard like the MacBook Pro does, but the improvement in quality is a notable and welcome advancement.
The problem is that they’re more expensive than the $200 Chromebooks we usually see. Most noteworthy is the comparison able 2-in-1 Asus Chromebook Flip C3202, Samsung Chromebook Pro and the HP Chromebook 13. For around $100 more, they have slimmer and studier designs than the Acer and faster performance, but their batteries don’t last as long.Better than your basic ChromebookThe Acer Chromebook R13 is a good option for those who want something more than a basic Chromebook. Its versatile design and long-lasting Acer Chromebook R13 battery make it a good deal for the price, but if you don’t need everything it has to offer, there are plenty of alternatives.
If you like the Acer Chromebook R13 and wish it was cheaper, you can opt for the $300 (converts to about £240 or AU$395) Acer Chromebook 11, a smaller, older model with similar design, or the deceivingly lux $280 (converts to (about £225 or AU$370) Acer Chromebook 14, an affordable Chromebook with a high-end design.
