Acer announced it will be expanding support for 5th Generation Intel® Core™ processors across its mobile lines, adding the CPU to its innovative line of Aspire R 13 convertible notebooks and award-winning Aspire S7 Ultrabooks. The Acer Aspire R 13 and S7 will incorporate the newest 802.11ac wireless specification for fast and more reliable Internet connections. The 5th Generation Intel Core processors have been designed to improve performance, graphics and battery life over previous versions. The ultrafast 802.11ac wireless networking standard is up to 3 times faster than the previous generation spec (802.11n) and increases network speed, range and reliability, enabling more people to use different wireless devices and simultaneously stream content with less interference(1).
The Aspire R 13 Series, S7 Ultrabook and previously announced Switch 12 2-in-1 notebook will be on display at Pepcom’s Digital Experience! Event on Jan. 5th at The Mirage in Las Vegas.

In addition to 5th Generation Intel Core processors and 802.11ac wireless(1), they offer up to 1TB(2) Solid State Drives with RAID-0 support and up to 8GB of memory for fast and responsive performance, making them ideally suited for work and entertainment. The new Aspire R 13’s improved processor doesn’t just make it more powerful, it also extends its battery life. With up to 10 hours(3) (FHD model) of on-the-road power, it can go all day.
Providing one of the best viewing experiences on the market today, the Aspire R 13 notebooks also feature super high-resolution (WQHD) (2560 x 1440) or full high-definition (FHD) (1920 x 1080) touch screen displays; the screen and the top lid are both protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3. Zero Air Gap Technology on both display types reduces reflections and ensures vivid, lifelike visuals, while FHD models feature IPS technology for wide viewing angles. In addition, anti-fingerprint technology helps reduce smudges, Corning’s newly developed AR/ETC technology minimizes reflections and improves the display’s contrast, and a built-in light sensor automatically adjusts the screen’s brightness to enhance the screen image. Both display configurations can also be used with an optional Acer Active Pen for drawing, creating and collaborating.
