The slider tablet is a relatively new concept, one that takes further the Tablet PC concept and brings the security of having a sliding hinge with two mounting points, thus a more robust device. The biggest sliders announced this year are the ASUS EEE Pad Slider and the Samsung Sliding PC 7 Series, none of which are on sale today, meaning the mechanical structure needs more work.Apparently Acer wants to join the party, as rumors say, in an attempt to compete with the two brands mentioned bef...

Acer is still struggling to bring a tablet to market, but at least they're continuing the R&D process, showcasing new tablets at MWC 2011: the 7 inch Iconia Tab A100, and 10 inch Iconia A500 and W500. It's strange to look at the naming scheme chosen by Acer, that has nothing to do with screen diagonal, but at least 'A' stands for Android and 'W' for Windows.Acer released few specs about those three tablets, but had working samples as their booth, running previous Android versions, not th...

Some rumors seem unlikely, some seem outrageous, but this one from Acer fall right in between, with info pointing towards a market phase out from the netbook business and a focus on tablets for 2011, and not any tablets, but Android Honeycomb tablets, using not any CPUs, but the ones made by Intel: the Sandy Bridge generation. See the problem here? Here's the thing, Intel CPUs are x86 architecture while Android OS uses ARM, at least for now, so they're incompatible.I have my doubts that Goog...

I want to take you a few moments back, when Acer has officially announced its plans for 2011 concerning touch tablets. Some items were detailed a bit, while others were left in the dark, especially the Windows 7 Tablet with a docking keyboard, bearing an AMD chipset. We still don't know the official name of that tablet (nor do Acer's employees, I bet) but Laptopmag got the chance to play with it at CES 2011 and got very nice impressions. The first thing that catches your attention is the way the...

Acer is one of the top three computer manufacturers in the world, and it's their pride to get into the tablet game at once. They've missed that in 2010, but surely they won't do that again in 2011, when the company's plans include launching Android tablets with the upcoming Honeycomb OS, version 3.0, that's rumored to be released sometime in April. So we have the timeframe targeted by Acer. We know for sure right now that Acer's first tablets will use Android and will come in two screen sizes: 1...

Have you ever stopped to think about why Intel is so present in our everyday gadgets than AMD? Is it the fact that they make faster processors than the competition? No, it's not that, it's the money they have, that allows them to push their products to consumers via ad campaigns like the one they're preparing for the next gen Oak Trail Atom CPUs, which will debut in Q1 2011. And they're doing it right, by sponsoring vendors like ASUS, Acer, Dell, Samsung and Toshiba to advertise products powered...

Only days after Acer's press event announcing company's entry in the tablet arena, some info surfaces the web that the 10 inch tablet powered by Windows 7, due to launch in February 2011, will use an AMD chipset, not the usual Intel Atom, found in the vast majority of  x86 mobile devices sold these days. Apparently Acer will use the dual core C-50 Ontario CPU with built in Radeon 6250 graphics. This combination should give Atom a run for its money, especially since the whole package will consum...

One of the brands that failed to deliver a tablet this year is Acer. Sure they've talked about them, but they're not here, and this is what matters after all. Apparently Acer didn't want to leave things like this and today announced in a large press event it's plans for the tablet market, plans that will start next years, once they'll begin shipping of the products presented today. And let me tell you, there's plenty to talk about, as Acer announced three tablets, with 5, 7 and 10 inch diagonal ...

Acer is just one of the big names in IT that hasn't announced anything officially about their tablet plans this year, but that doesn't mean rumors aren't flowing all over, with the latest one stating that not one, but two Android tablets are planned to launch this year, in Q4. The most important difference between the two is the screen diagonal: 7 inch versus 10.1. As Acer speculated its tablets will support Adobe Flash this means they'll be running at least Android 2.2.Both tablets will be ...

Mike from Netbooklive.net got the Acer 1825PT tablet PC a few days ago and now he has posted a short user review with a video hands on of one of the most interesting options in 2010 when it comes to a tablet PC.Why I say interesting is because the Acer 1825PT offers good performance thanks to an Intel Low Voltage CPU, plenty of RAM and storage, a capacitive display, hardware QWERTY (very important for tablet PC productivity) and a moderate price around the 900$ mark (it hasn't yet landed in ...
