Acer announces tablets, All-in-ones and ultrabook with Windows 8

Acer was one of the companies announcing new gadgets at the Computex 2012 event held in Taiwan this week. Like its competitor ASUS, announced today the gadgets are running Windows 8 and five different models of computers. The first is a common tablet, the second is a tablet hybrid, the third is a ultrabook with touch screen and the last two are two models of All-in-one, which seems to be the foot of this fair.


The Iconia W700 is a tablet with Windows 8 and processor Ivy Bridge from Acer. He has a 11.6 inch screen with 1280 x 1080 pixels resolution and comes with a support that leans back at an angle of 70 degrees and also has a speaker system Dolby Digital. According to The Verge, this model also has three USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI and one Thunderbolt.

There is also estimated release. Already the ICONA W510 follows the format of the ASUS Transformer: a 10.1-inch tablet screen with detachable keyboard (or a notebook with a touch screen that stands out, depends on your look it over). He has, according to Acer, three modes: tablet (no keyboard), so productivity (with keyboard) and presentation mode (with the keyboard behind the screen). In the specifications, Acer did not declare anything other than him being a tablet with battery 18 hours. In terms of ultrabook, Acer showed that the minimum requirements and followed Intel's third generation of notebooks.

Your Aspire S7 is not convertible, but has a touch screen with 1080p resolution and that opens up to 180 degrees. As he is being called ultrabook the company, it is quite likely to have an Intel Core generation Ivy Bridge inside. It will be sold on models with 13.3 and 11.6 inches. For the field All-in-ones, showed the Acer Aspire 5600U and 7600U, devices that are increasingly taking note of the manufacturers. The Aspire 5600U has 23-inch screen while the 7600U is 27.

Both displays have full HD resolution support up to 64 touch points and the system comes with Dolby Home Theater sound.It seems that Acer is one of the only manufacturers to install Windows 8 on its vast portfolio. Strangely, the Iconia W510 that could fit into the field ultrabook was just like a convertible tablet that, at least for now. It amazes me the fact that a manufacturer be so restricted as to the specifications.
