The Chromebook R 11 feels a little overpriced to me. At $279 it costs $100 more than the regular Acer Chromebook 11 that performs roughly the same (and on paper faster) than the R model. If you're not in need of a touch screen or tablet functionality, the regular model is a better deal.
It's also not as nice as the Asus Chromebook Flip, which was designed more as a 2-in-1 (vs. a laptop with 2-in1 functionality) that has better build quality and battery life and costs about the same.
All that said, it's still a good Chromebook. But others from Acer are a bit better.

"bad" viewing angles are not a bad thing at all. Tech industry was pushing for tinted viewing angles not that long ago to prevent wandering eyes from viewing your private stuff. As a college student, I wish the R 11's screen was harder to see at those angles

It's still bad. I prefer to have widest viewing angle with options to install privacy screen protector, instead of factory made bad viewing angle. I have eyesight problem which causes me to unable to look straight at my laptop for long period of time without getting headaches. Now after switching to IPS display and then OLED (both has great viewing angle), my headache problem has subsided. Thank you technology industries for moving away from this bad viewing angle TN display.

I dabbled with chromebooks in the past, but i ended up getting the r11. I don't even know how I lived before. It brings all (mosts) the following and android and the google play market, while also being useful as a traditional laptop. It is so flexible in how you use it with the ways you can flip the screen and keyboard around, it is truly a pretty amazing tool if you traveling or just lounging about. I only have 2 issues with it, which are more chrome os related issues. 1: the close buttons on the chrome browser tabs are impossible to tap with your finger, this could be fixed by making them a little bigger. 2: I can't create files in the "my files" folder, but instead i'm forced to do so in the downloads folder. I have somewhat fixed this, but just using an sd card and settings it up like a traditional users folder on linux and using all the local space for apps. You can even change the download folder to the one on the sd card. To be honest from my point of view, if you only need a laptop or table and struggle between the two, just go with a good chromebook. they won't break the bank and they are solid little machines. While i need my desktop computer for work and other things, this is a perfect travel computer for play, reading and even allows me to do some work on it as well. Surprisingly a very amazing device I would recommend for older users who don't need something fancy and want something easy to use and learn while also very useful for younger users who want some apps and maybe something to type, look stuff up for papers for school. Hardware: 9/10 (comparing it to a laptop maybe a 7/10, but it is so useful as a tablet and with android apps you can push it a bit further) Software: 8/10 (those tiny close buttons on the chrome browsers tabs drive me nuts) Don't get me wrong, it isn't the best thing in the world, there is some ways to go, but it is clearly an amazing machine for the low price and the usability.

Glamrgrl104 Hi! I’m not sure what Medibang is, but I have used Pandora while running other applications and/or websites. My Chromebook does everything super fast! When I turn it on, it is up, running, and ready to use in under 10 seconds! It’s amazing! There is never a stall. I love that it doesn’t need anti-virus software. I love that you can add a significant amount of memory easily, and without spending a ton of money. The touchscreen works SO good! This is my first experience using a Chromebook, as well as it being my first experience with a touchscreen (on a laptop). I can’t say enough good stuff about this Chromebook! I have had it since June 15th, and I am still finding cool new features that I didn’t know were there! I also have a Kindle Fire 8, and while the Chromebook’s screen is small in comparison to most laptop type of devices, it is much bigger than the Kindle Fire 8 screen. If comparing the screen against a Kindle Fire 8, I would say that display is just as good, if not better. The speakers are also fantastic! I bought a wireless printer the same day I bought my Chromebook, and it was so easy to pair it to the Chromebook. I’m not the best with electronics, so if it was easy for me, it is definitely user friendly! I was able to pair my beats headphones easily too. If you decide to buy this model, I would definitely get it from Walmart. Like I mentioned in my comment, I got mine for $199. Everywhere else I looked was charging at least $25 more. Also, I bought my Chromebook with the intention of writing a book. I did A LOT of research in advance so that I knew what Chromebook or laptop would be best for me on a budget. This model was on every single top 10 list that I came across, and it was always rated #1 or #2! When I got it home and started testing out Google Docs (Google’s version of Word), I was blown away!!! I often times have Pandora playing my ‘writing’ playlist while I am working on my book. While writing on Google Docs, and listening to Pandora, I am constantly opening up new pages so that I can research things. I also use the Grammarly app while writing. So it still preforms really well while multitasking! I’ve never had it slow down on me or freeze. I love that the Google Play store has so many free or low cost apps. I just love everything about it. You really can’t go wrong with this Chromebook! I still can’t believe that I got it for $199!!! If I had purchased a normal laptop, I would have had to purchase anti-virus software as well as Microsoft Word or Office. I think about the cost of the two things, and they would have cost me almost as much as I paid for the Chromebook! Google Docs is just as good (if not better) than Word. First off, it is preloaded and free! I love that I don’t have to worry about constantly saving my book because Google Docs does it for me as I write. Even when I am offline. Every word I write is saved as I am writing it! I wish I would have had Google Docs when I was in college! Grammarly works great with it as well. I love that I don’t have to hassle with the cost of anti-virus software, and constantly running scans and updating it. This Chromebook does all that for me. I don’t have to do a single thing, and I know that my device is protected. Anyways...I apologize that this was such a long reply. I just wanted to give you the main reasons I love it so much, and I wanted to give you an idea of what it does just in case you weren’t familiar with Chromebooks. This is my first one, so I didn’t know anything about them until now. You really can’t go wrong for $199! It’s an amazing deal. They didn’t cut any corners. I’m sure that you are aware that it can be used like a laptop or like a tablet. That’s a pretty neat feature as well. It’s really sturdy, so I don’t feel like I am going to break it when I fold it in half. I hope that I answered your question to some degree. You’ll have to let me know if you end up buying one! I’d love to hear what you think of it! 💻

Probs for you to have that disclaimer. Usually people just say "this is an ad" if it were paid, and otherwise they don't say anything. So good job on being very clear in that. I just ordered this specific chromebook for college cause I don't have much to spend (otherwise I would have bought a Macbook) and I'm happy with the specs as they are. Sure they aren't the best, but you can't expect to get top notch specs for a laptop this cheap. Definetly would recommend it to students (esspecially with the dark glare from side view, it ups the privacy from wondering eyes of classmates lol)

Great review, Lon.... I realize this isn't part of your affiliate link, but Costco.com currently has the 4GB model of this same Acer R11 2-in-1 Touchscreen Convertible Chromebook bundled with an Acer wireless mouse for $289.99, not a bad deal at all for anyone who wants one... and they have a great return policy (90 days) I really hope we see more examples of this convertible form factor in future models... nice to have a built-in keyboard if laptop-mode is needed, or flip it around for media viewing... seems a lot more flexible than a large-ish iPad or Android tablet, and just need to close it up and everything looks protected.... very nice for travelling.... everything is there already

Hey Lon. I watched your last video and i agree your comments about your style of making the video.I didn't expect 4K video from you.But I would like to point out that "Other tech community guys are trying to( camera)focus on gadget and make other subjects in the scene out of focus which is a great viewing for eyes and it does not take lot of money but a camera focus. Your content is top notch.I bought so many gadgets based on your recommendations. I'm very glad your moving your setup to another room and excited to see new the refreshing looks of this channel.

If you're listening via nice speakers, bumping the resolution up to 1080P will give you higher quality audio. So, there can be a benefit to using the 1080p stream even if the screen doesn't display 1080p.

I have the acer and it now comes with a 1.6 intel N3160 quad core processor with 4gb ram and I actually get better performance out of it than I do my hp 17.3" laptop which is only a couple months old I feel like everytime I start up my hp it needs some kind of update from either windows or hp that slows it down and then has to restart and gets in the way of me doing whatever I am trying to do or if I just leave it on and shut the top and it goes into sleep mode upon waking it always drags and needs to restart. With the chromebook I never run into these issues it's always ready to go and the 2 into 1 feature is brilliant and I use it all the time and I feel like it has some great viewing angles and runs 1080p without issues.

Thank you. I just bought the Acer 11 Chromebook (not the R11) on sale for $129, which seemed like a steal. I'd been lusting after the R11, but your review makes me feel way better about my choice. (I'm mainly using it for electronic medical record charting at work, and Facebook browsing at home, so I think it will be fine).

Thanks for your review. I got the r11 with 4gb of ram and 32 gb hdd two years ago and at first the battery life was about 8 hours give or take, but after six months of using it the battery life degrade to less than 20% and wouldn’t charge more than that. Not sure if that was a software issue or hardware. The wifi on this is horrendous it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting non stop. I actually stopped using this Chromebook for at least six months and one day came back to it, after I updated the chrome OS, the battery life improved and I can get six hours of battery life at 100%, but the wifi is still an issue and also forgot to mention Bluetooth, I’m lucky if I can connect one minute and then the next time I want to reconnect it won’t recognize my airpods . I really don’t recommend this Chromebook unfortunately with all the issues it has, and acer is full well aware of them and i still see them on sale, considering that chrome OS support end in 2021, I wouldn’t buy this again.

For me, the extra weight of the R 11 takes away much of it's desirability for me. I'll hang on to my Flip until someone comes out with a Chromebook with a detachable keyboard. I'd love to see a one along the lines of the latest HP X2. Thanks again for the review!

the only prob with the theory of you should be watching the videos in 720p anyways is that due to youtube's video compression, even though technically you shouldn't get to see a visual gain from watching 1080 on a 720 screen, having the video playing in 1080 will make up for the 720p video bitrate drop. Basically a 720 video with high bitrate. Thats how i always seen it. -_-

$100 more for touch capability, and flip ability? As someone whom has used ChromeOS on a number of chromebooks, I don't think this one justifies the higher price tag. At the end of the day, you'll mostly end up using a chromebook as a regular laptop anyway.

In 2019 I predict these will be the best emulating and game streaming devices. No you're not going to emulate Nintendo switch or anything like that but it's within reason that in 2019 3 DS will be able to be emulated. Most of the work on three assimilating is done in the CPU and only recently is the GPU able to be taken advantage of for more than upscaling, and the Intel integrated Graphics is more than capable of 720P on the latest Pokemon games which have recently been optimized. You could take a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi controller with you and play games on the go, with 5G you could effortlessly stream your home PC games everything from Witcher 3 to games that aren't even out yet.

Have you ever heard the idea that eventually we will have processing units that will work just as hard running crisis as it would doing a 3D bouncing ball, well that is still quite a while away but there is a half step in between, it usually takes about 10 years for a Consul or portable device to be able to be emulated on a mobile platform. Things like the Nintendo DS could not be Emily aded on her mobile platform until the Note 5 or the Galaxy S4 no surprise came out 10 years later. The PSP didn't have very much attention to mobile emulating even recently because it is a very weird architecture, but you can try and emulator on things like raspberry pies and other sbc's. Anyway what I'm trying to get at is the things have changed more and more consoles are more regular computer like in there CPU and GPU architecture, they even have the same names in some cases like the Xbox One X with its AMD CPU and Vega GPU. That means that you can just play your Xbox games on the Windows store, so it is possible that a 2019 or 2020 the Windows store will be available on Chrome OS only if integrated Graphics gets powerful enough to play games from 2013, but intel generation 9 or 10 should be able to emulate Xbox 360 games without a GPU. And ryzen to Apu's I believe are already there.

Hey Lon, personally I don't really care about specs and benchmarks. What I care about is how well it performes in daily usage. For example the Iphones have less of a processor than most android phones and probably cost more. The reason people still buy those iphones is because they know it'll be just as fast as their android competators. You can of course review however you want but I feel you focus too much on the performance and too little on the usability.

I need some advice - we need a chromebook for my 7th grader for school. Really the only thing he will be doing is taking notes with a stylus in Evernote or OneNote or something similar, he will use an agenda app (Myhomework), and he needs the ability to take pictures of his homework. Since he need to use a stylus and take notes we have been considering the Acer Chromebook R11 or Asus Flip because they lay flat similar to a piece of paper. However neither seem to be able to easily take pictures from the web cam. Or maybe they do and I just have not actually seen it in action that. Any thoughts, suggestions, insights?

If you can buy from best buy I would recommend San-Disk here is two links for a good price 32GB $19.99 (around the same price for most currencies I think) "www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-plus-32gb-microsdhc-class-10-memory-card-red-gray/6151316.p?skuId=6151316" The 64 GB for 29.99 "www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-plus-64gb-microsdxc-class-10-uhs-1-memory-card-red-gray/6151266.p?skuId=6151266" just remove the quotes. Good luck finding one PS. If not bestbuy try amazon!

im suprised that 1080p 60fps lags on youtube with this verison of the acer chromebook since i have the acer chromebook c720p with 4gb ram and 16gb and 1366X768 resolution. i dont have that issue at all.the only issue i have with lag is trying to watch youtube vidoes in 4k because the hardware is not powerful enough unlike the intel core i5 chromebook pixel. on top of that i have 8 or more tabs opened simultaneously with youtube videos on my chromebook since its faster than my 2gb ram 2008 macbook and hp windows running windows 10 and they are slow when having multiple tabs opened unlike the chromebook. i love using the chromebook and i use it as my daily driver and im typing this comment from my chromebook right now.

you'd figure that they would get the chrome browser to use hardware acceleration instead of software when it comes to video playback on the browser, they need to step their game up and he their browser and their OS working fully on the hardware they buy buy software on.
@Christopher876
@Christopher876 8 жыл бұрын
+madmax2069 Yeah, hopefully they will do something better when they take some features from android (or merge it with android). There is no point in a chromebook imo, look at all these cheap Windows 10 tablets (some even 10.1 inch screens) that do pack enough power to give a good experience so why would someone pick a chromebook that would limit them so much? Only reason I see for one is since they're cheap, find one of the x86 ones and install windows 10 or linux on the thing and call it a day.

Hello, I am a person that would really like to get this chromebook, I have asked my parents to get one for school since the school chromebooks block everything and I can't go on to some of the educational sites at home. My dad said that I already have a computer but it's a Dell, it's overweight I can't bring it to school,and he said that,"why can't you get on to some of the educational sites here at home?" But I do not understand. I don't know what to do now, I tried everything to convince him to get it, he asked me recently, "how would having a chromebook benefit you?" Which I didn't quite understand. If you have any suggestions, please reply to me it would mean a lot thank you.

Bought one in June 2018 and it kept disconnecting from the internet so got it repaired by Acer but the problem persisted. Anyway Acer refused a refund or replacement ( They told me it has to be repaired 4 times to get either ) which is against UK consumer law if its within 6 months. So I took it back to retailer ( PC World ) who did a replacement for me and argued the case with Acer. Now Ive got my replacement I am still getting the same problem. Certain apps like google maps are causing my internet connection to crash, sometimes only for 10-20 seconds but on other occasions it throws my whole connection out so even when I leave the app I cant get connected to the internet so I have to reboot the thing. Now when these apps cause my chromebook to lose internet connection I can use exactly the same apps at the same time with my phone with no problem. Can anyone help me with what could be wrong ( I suspect a software problem with the chromebooks ) ? I would also strongly suggest not to buy Acer as they are a disgusting company to deal with. When my chromebook went back for repair after 2 weeks I even had to pay £5 for delivery and return without Acer offering me the money which I asked for.
