Dual touch screen pc
With touch tablets, notably the iPad, taking the world by storm, Acer last month decided to unveil the dual screen Iconia notebook with higher capacity laptop battery, which can only be described as a tablet and laptop a mix of both. Obviously the Iconia's most notable attribute is its two touch screens, both of which have 14 inch monitor diagonals, HD 1366 x 768 resolutions and of course multi-touch capabilities. They're even covered in gorilla glass to prevent scratches and make fingerprints safer to clean. Virtual keyboard

As you can see from the image below, just like a new tablet, the Iconia does not have an actual physical pc style keyboard, with the second touch screen doubling as the keypad. Though some might miss the feeling of actual keys even though typing, the full sized QWERTY virtual keyboard does have a lot of benefits. For example, it can switch between different language keyboards to the fly, it offers predictive word for faster typing, and you can also instantly change the idea to handwriting mode pertaining to jotting down notes. Impressive specs
Whilst the dual touch screen displays might garner the best attention, the other big feature together with the Iconia is its functionality specs, which are distinctly laptop like. In contrast to your average tablet, which ordinarily sports a measly 1GHz PC, the Acer laptop runs off the new Intel Core i5 processor. This CPU is thus backed up by 4GB of RAM as well as a whopping 750GB hard disk drive (much more storage in comparison with either the iPad or maybe Galaxy Tab). To top rated it off, the Iconia's other specialization skills aren't too bad either and include an actual HDMI convey, USB, Acer laptop power, WiFi and optional 3G.
With the Acer Iconia as a touch driven device, the first question that reaches our minds is exactly what OS will the touch laptop be running? Unfortunately, the answer is Windows 7 7. We say unfortunately, because Windows 7, despite being touch compatible, has yet to prove itself as a viable touch OS. Decent apps?
Acer claim the Iconia will ship with a wealth of onboard touch-based applications, such as Acer's unique TouchPhoto, TouchMusic, as very well as SocialJogger (lets anyone check Facebook, Flickr plus YouTube), MyJournal and Scrapbooking. These all look appealing, but in our opinion Windows 7 is way far behind iOS4 and Android when it comes to tablet optimised apps. Moreover, whilst some have criticised Android mobile phone as not being optimised to get tablets, we have know doubt not wearing running shoes eventually will be, whereas the same can definitely not often be said for Windows 7. <! --INFOLINKS_OFF-->.
