What is an Acer Converter Port?

What is this port "Acer Converter Port"? Is it basically the same as miniDP? Can I connect a monitor like Dell U2713H on this one?

From Frequently Asked Questions on the Aspire R7 series:

9. Can I connect a DisplayPort monitor to the Acer Converter Port?

The Acer Converter Port uses the same physical port as a Mini DisplayPort, but is designed to connect to an Acer proprietary cable. If you connect a DisplayPort monitor, Acer cannot guarantee the functionality of the monitor.

No damage should occur to either monitor or notebook by connecting a Mini DisplayPort cable.

Can someone confirm this will work for sure?

Seems to essentially be a Lightning port imitator:

From your link in the comments:

"You also have another port at the back, the Acer Converter port. It looks a lot like a Lightning port with its specifications and you can comfortably attach displays, hard drives or routers"

It sounds like a port with enough bandwidth to carry large amounts of data making it suitable for even displays.

It also sounds like it is something Acer has not released to market: http://community.acer.com/t5/Notebooks-Netbooks/Who-knows-where-to-buy-Acer-Aspire-R7-port-converter/td-p/91981

The back-side of the laptop does have an HDMI Port so your monitor should be able to hook up to it.

You use that port to connect an Acer Converter Cable (Mini CP to VGA/LAN/USB). Mini cp is the name of that port, mini converter port. There is also a mini cp to vga. There will probably be other mini cp converters in the future, in order to get rid of the bigger ports.
