Acer has announced the Chromebook R11, the company’s first Chrome OS-running device that comes with a 360-degree rotating hinge, as made famous by Lenovo’s Yoga. Your eyes will be staring into an 11.6-inch 1,366 x 768 touchscreen, while below the keyboard you’ll find an Intel Celeron processor paired with 4GB memory and up to 32GB of flash storage. Connectivity-wise, there’s dual-band MIMO 802.11ac WiFi as well as a single ultra-fast USB 3.0 port. The headline feature, really, is the ability to turn that screen whichever way you choose, enabling one of four modes: laptop, tablet, tent or display… much like the ASUS Chromebook Flip. The R11 launches in North America this October with a starting price of $299, with those in Europe, Middle East and Africa getting hold of the gear in November — as long as you’ve got €299 in your back pocket.
