The Acer Chromebook R 11 is an 11.6-inch 2-in-1 running Chrome OS on an Intel Celeron N3150 quad-core with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Its 360-degree hinge flips the 10-point touchscreen into tablet, tent and stand modes, and Acer rates the battery at up to 10 hours. It is a light, low-cost machine for web browsing, schoolwork and streaming rather than heavy local apps. Against pricier convertibles it gives up screen resolution and processing power, but owners tend to praise its battery life and flexibility for the money.

Owners generally see the R 11 as a solid budget convertible: they like the flip hinge, touchscreen and long battery life, and accept modest performance for everyday web tasks. Complaints center on the dim, low-resolution display and sluggishness with many tabs open.
