Acer Iconia Dual Touch Screen Laptop

We were expecting Acer to come out with the production version of it's latest laptop last December 2010.  Better late than never, the Iconia, Acer's dual touch screen laptop is now out.  The Iconia is a rapid new laptop design in that it uses touch screen in place of the ordinary keyboard.  The touch screen keyboard can also function as an extension to the regular LCD screen.

Of course it will take a lot of typing hours to get used to a virtual keyboard found on the Iconia compared to the typical keyboards we have on our laptops now.  But that shouldn't be a problem, we have had a lot of practice with the iPod touch, iPhone and iPads.

The Acer Iconia comes packed with the Intel Core i5-480M processor which should be good for basic to intermediate computing tasks but not that powerful to run hard core games or graphics applications.  Windows 7 home basic comes pre installed (for models released here in the Philippines).

The Iconia comes with a lot of memory, boasting 4 GB of memory out of the box.  Hard disk storage is also no push over, it will come out with 640GB.

The Acer Iconia is now available in local stores and is priced at about P70,000.
