Page 1 of 2Acer Aspire R11 (R3-131T) review
Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
Processor: Dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Celeron N3050, RAM: 2GB, Size: 298x211x21mm, Weight: 1.6kg, Screen size: 11.1in, Screen resolution: 1,366x768, Graphics adaptor: Intel HD Graphics, Total storage: 500GB hard disk
The Acer Aspire R11 is a small but exceedingly well formed convertible laptop that looks like it's built to last. This 11.1in convertible has a chunky hard plastic shell that looks like the sort of thing you'd buy to protect your smartphone. It feels like it's well protected against knocks and scrapes, which is something you rarely get with more expensive laptops, let alone cheap convertible models.
Specification-wise, it's more or less the equivalent of the Toshiba with battery like Toshiba PA3729U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3730U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba Satellite -P500 Battery, Toshiba Satellite P505 Battery, Toshiba Satellite P505D Battery, Toshiba PA3682U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3727U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba TS-A200 Battery, Toshiba PABAS174 Battery, Toshiba Satellite A500 Battery, Toshiba PA2487U Battery, Toshiba PA3107U-1BRS BatterySatellite C40-C netbook. The R11 has a dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Celeron N3050 processor along with 2GB of RAM. This is not a performance device by any stretch of the imagination, but if you choose your tasks carefully you should get by without too many stutters and stalls. The convertible scored 7 overall in our benchmarking tests, including a score of 17 in the single core-focussed image editing test. This is not a laptop for intensive multimedia tasks; it'll play video just fine and you'll be able to work on documents, emails and browse the web, but you might be left twiddling your thumbs on a few occasions while you wait for the laptop to finish crunching numbers.

One area where the R11 soundly beats the Toshiba Satellite C40-C is in storage capacity. Instead of the paltry 32GB of eMMC storage you'll find on most netbook-style devices, the R11 comes equipped with a proper 500GB mechanical hard disk. This is both a blessing and a curse; the high capacity is welcome, but it's far from the fastest drive in the world and makes Windows load slower and feel less responsive than with solid state memory.
