Acer Iconia dual screen computer

Check out this incredible hands on from engadget. I think is the future of personal computers, but only if they start making them with e-ink color displays!

Acer’s dual-screen Iconia laptop is bold, for sure — eschewing a physical keyboard for another display — but its LCD panels are also mighty glossy. If you’ve got a light in the vicinity above you, there’s gonna be glare — we saw it on stage, and we just saw it now in person. That said, the screen is clear and the touch functionality is pretty clever (five fingers open up a widget where you can scroll through other touch-friendly apps). The keyboard, on the other hand, is pretty hard to use — even the rep admitted there’s a learning curve. You can’t rest your fingers down without hitting something, of course. We managed to browse to Engadget, but it took several tries. Check out the photos below!

Update: Now with video! It’s after the break.

Acer 1825PTZ convertible gets presentation video

Anxious to find out more of the rumored and soon to be launched 11.6 inch Acer 1825PT/1825PTZ convertible netbooks?

Well, the guys at Newgadgets.de have a 10 minutes video presentation of this new series and if you weren’t craving for one of them before, you definitely will after watching this clip. Check it out below.

All in all, it seem that this new Acer line will finally be able to bring a proper touch-experience in a mini laptop (unlike the Asus T101MT which was kind of sluggish), thanks to the ULV hardware inside and capacitive display. And since these 1825PT/1825PTZ devices are Acers, they’ll hopefully come with a proper price too.

Acer Aspire 1825PT, 1825PTZ Tablet Notebooks

This has me confused. Word is two new 11.6” Acer Aspire tablet notebook models are due in April, at least in the UK. These models are the 1825PT and 1825PTZ. Both models come with multi-touch capacitive touch screens and Windows 7 Home Premium.

The 1825PTZ has an intel Pentium SU4100 processor, 3GB RAM, 250GB HDD.
The 1825PT has an Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor, 4GB RAM, 250GB HDD.

The only difference I can see compared to the 1820PT and 1820PTZ is that these screens are capacitive instead of resistive.

NewGadgets.de has spotted a few listings in Germany for the 1825P in red and black priced at 599 Euros. Pictures show a stylus though – perhaps just reusing the 1820PT/Z pics.

Acer frameless laptop touchscreen keyboard

Would you believe that Acer is working on a frameless laptop with touchscreen keyboard? As far-fetched as the idea might be, it’s certainly plausible, expected even. The idea, as rumored by DigiTimes, involves doing away with the display’s frame by printing colors directly onto the back of the display’s reinforced glass substrate from Corning (a la Gorilla Glass presumably). Coupled with a touchscreen keyboard, the rumored device should be impossibly thin by traditional laptop comparisons. Keep in mind that we’ve already seen this Frame Zero concept pictured above from Fujitsu and Acer’s arch-rival ASUS has been showing off its dual-display laptop prototype with touchscreen keyboard for months. Even the OLPC XO-3 plans to eschew the clickity keyboard in favor of a touchscreen version. And anyone who has ever seen a scifi movie knows that tactile keyboards and display bezels have no role to play in our computing future anyway, so we might as well get things started now — or in the second half of 2010 according to DigiTimes‘ sources.

Acer Aspire 1820PT convertible hands-on, priced for 599 euros

Craftily unhidden at the tail end of its press conference, Acer’s long-awaited Aspire 1820PT convertible laptop has finally passed into our hands for ever the briefest of moments. Let’s cut to the chase, shall we? Strong hinge, accelerometer for tablet mode, capacitive multitouch, and the ability to use stylus for input (protected in a slot just below and to the right of the screen when not in use). Beyond that, seems like the typical underpowered laptop you know and love — well, maybe not love, but you get the idea. Under the hood there’s an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 8GB RAM, and 320GB HDD, all priced at 599 euro, which we’d venture a guess to mean it’ll be about $599 when it comes to the US (actual release date MIA). Gallery below, and brief video demonstration after the break.
