Review Acer Iconia Dual Screen Tablet

Touchbook. The Iconia is the Ferrari in Acer's tablet campaign. W ...

Application performance ; Control concept ; Low waste heat ; Virtual keyboard/mouse

Narrow viewing angles ; No internal cardreader ; High weight & bulkiness ; Short battery life ; Long charge time ; No DVD drive ; Short manufacturer warranty

If you are accustomed to a tablet computer, you'll easily manage the Iconia and won't want a "real" notebook anymore

Acer Iconia 6120 Touchbook review

The Iconia Touchbook is more akin to a proof of concept or a prototype: some great ideas skinned over a platform that can't handle it (Windows 7) and built into hardware not ready for prime time. The Touchbook, as Acer calls it,...

Dualscreen form factor is interesting ; Virtual keyboard and Handwriting works

Two-hour battery life ; Bulky, heavy form factor ; Windows 7 still not touch-friendly

A prototype that escaped the lab all too soon

Acer ICONIA 6120 Dual-Screen Touchbook (14" - Core i5 480M - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - 4 GB RAM - 640 GB HDD)

Acer's inventive Iconia laptop falls into that exclusive category we sometimes call executive laptops. These are typically high-priced, highly designed systems that look great on a CEO's desk or in the first-class airline lounge. But they're also...

The Acer Iconia's innovative dual-touch-screen design and virtual keyboard work better than you'd expect, and unlike other dual-screen PCs we've seen, this one has enough CPU power for everyday tasks.

Speed typists will find that the virtual keyboard has a hint of a lag, and its (virtual) touch pad is needlessly small. It's also saddled with last year's Intel CPUs, rather than the latest generation, which might have given it better battery life.

Unlike a lot of other unique proof-of-concept laptops, the Acer Iconia is fun to use and largely works as advertised. But it has a hard time answering the most frequent question we hear about it: why would anyone need a dual-touch-screen laptop?

Acer Iconia W511 Review

Windows 8 hybrids are a relatively new breed, but it seems like a whole lot of tech companies have one on the market already. That includes Acer with its Iconia W511 tablet, which we are about to take through its paces. It is a 10.1-inch slate powered...

3G connectivity ; Full-blown Windows 8 with legacy app support ; Decent battery life ; Cheap for a Windows 8 hybrid

Bland design ; Dubious build quality ; Touchpad is uncomfortable

The Acer Iconia W511 is clearly aimed at tablet buyers on a tight budget, or simply people who aren't willing to spend too much on a Windows 8 hybrid device. It may look a bit uninspiring, but it's light, affordable and offers an adequate set of...

Acer Iconia Tab

The bulky Iconia has a good screen, but bad battery life may give some consumers pause

Solid user interface; Good-looking screen

Heavy casing; Weak battery strength

It’s worthy of note that the most recent iterations of tablets are very close to portable computers like netbooks or laptops in terms of their hardware, so it’s unsurprising that successful computer companies would make their own entries into the...

Pictures of Windows 8 installed On The Acer Iconia

Last week I jumped on the chance to install Windows 8 on my ViewSonic Viewpad however, the screen resolution on it removes a full Windows 8 experience. Not letting that get me down, I ordered the Acer Iconia Tab W500 from Amazon and proceeded to...

"Needed a new laptop and this one looked pretty cool."

Have had it 3 days now and slowly finding my way around it. Its not a laptop to take any were and expect to spend much time on with out useing the charger. Will not be listing to music or watching a move on the airplane. If I had known the battery was...

Touch screen very good and love the keyboard. Spill proof and crum proof.

Battery life is terrible. Theres no CD/DVD player. Must be a windows program but can't stand this little box for spell check that follows you around when ever you type something. Have to find out how to get it disabled.

"My Dream Machine from my past is finally here!!!!!!!!!!"

I like it although the few cons were picky, but it's the truth. Hopefully their next model will be more up-to-date & ready to ripp the compition away. But.... I'd buy that for a dollar. LOL!

no buttons!!!

Processor could've been the latest, it might've removed the delay of the touch screens (typing, etc. etc.) & the weight of it, should be as light as possiable.
