Originally announced in October, the Acer Book RS 2-in-1 laptop is now shipping in the United States in Core i5-1135G7 and Core i7-1165G7 configurations. The model is notable for being one of Acer's first Intel Evo certified laptops meaning it will guarantee a laundry list of modern features like Wi-Fi 6, 11th gen CPU, Thunderbolt 4, extra speedy wake/resume times, and more.
As its name might suggest, the Acer Book RS Porsche Design is a high-end laptop designed for professionals and business users in much the same way as an HP EliteBook, Dell XPS, Asus ExpertBook, or Lenovo ThinkPad. The sleek gray design and colors are reminiscent of an Apple MacBook Pro or HP Envy 15 albeit with the added benefit of 360-degree hinges.
Though the Core i5 base option starts at $1400 USD, the $2000 Core i7 option is unique in that it's one of the few convertibles this year to come equipped with both a Core i7-1165G7 CPU and discrete GeForce MX350 GPU. The Nvidia GPU renders the integrated Iris Xe almost obsolete in many cases and so many other OEMs have chosen not to include it since the Iris Xe alone is usually satisfactory.
