The company just announced the Aspire R7, a laptop whose display sits on a flexible “Ezel” hinge, allowing it to be pushed up and back so that it lies nearly flat – yep, just like an all-in-one desktop. Similar to the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga line, too, you can flip the screen all the way back so that it faces away from the keyboard, a feature that seems especially well-suited for giving presentations. We’re still waiting to learn more specs – this was just a tease, after all – but we do know it’ll arrive May 14th, available exclusively at Best Buy in the US. In the meantime, we plan on getting hands-on shortly, so stay tuned for photos and some first impressions.
