This year, the manufacturer Acer has decided to hold its annual press conference in the town of Woody Allen and bagels: New York. An event under the sign of mobility and transition to the touch. We were there.
What better than a very bohemian loft in Chelsea to introduce a new product line? It is here that gave us an appointment Acer, well-known brand in the PC market for nombreusesannées, and who currently operate slowly transforming around mobility and ultra mobility. This press conference was an opportunity to put forward three particularly Products: Aspire R7, P3 and the Aspire Iconia A1.Soit Notebook in a convertible tablet, ultrabook hybrid tablet and tablet 7.9 inch input range
Treat yourself to 8 inches for less than 200 €
Let's start with the latter, moreover, the A1. Moved from 169 € (for wifi version 8 GB of storage), it seems a logical evolution of formats tableette and builds the overall design of the iPad mini. For its price, however, should not expect the same quality finish and at the same time finesse.Une in hand, however, it is rather good impression and confrms a little more interest size 8 inches. OS side, good news, we are dealing with the Android 4.2.2 hardly customized, which is rare enough to be reported. Inside, there is a four-core processor at 1.2 GHz (which we do not know the brand), 1 GB of RAM and a screen resolution of 1024768 pixels. Note that it uses IPS technology and we seemed to be a very decent quality for the price. thickness is about big enough (11.1 mm) and weighs 410 grams.
In use, the A1 seems to be pretty responsive and fluid in its interface, although it resteassez far the best
tablets on the market. But for that price, the deal looks good. Note that it will be available in late May and late July release wifi in 3G version (priced at € 219).
Moving quickly on the Aspire P3, which seems to be primarily an evolution of the Iconia W700, since it has the same design and concept. We're dealing with a convertible ultrabook in tablet Windows 8: The screen detaches from the keyboard and no touchpad offers good saves space but requires the shot using a mouse. The size of the IPS panel is 11.6 inches display of 1366x768 and SSD between 60 GB and 120 GB processor side, it is the latest generation of Core i3 (1.4 GHz) or i5 (1, 5 GHz) which rotates the whole, accompanied by 2GB of DDR3 RAM. The 5280 mAh battery should, in the words of Acer, allow the machine to run for 6 hours. In use, the Aspire P3 seems a bit lighter and thinner than the W700, but appears to offer similar performance, however for a price a little lower. Indeed, it is proposed to € 599, and it now. Finally, little originality: It may be accompanied by a stylus and options, to attach to the side.
Aspire R3: the ultimate hybrid notebook tablet?
Finally, end with what appears to us as the most innovative product of this line-up: the Asprire R7. This time we are dealing with a "real" notebook Windows 8, however, that attempts to bridge the gap with the tablets, offering a quite original system transformation. Can rotate and tilt to control the arm of the screen R7 can be used as a conventional laptop with the touchpad, as a tablet, leaning back completely on the keyboard, or between, the screen bowing sufisamment to provide closer to a tablet grip. Okay, explain how the concept seems obscure and images below are probably more telling.
Still, that by its design and wide range of applications, the R7 is very attractive. The all-metal finish gives an impression of strength and impeccable was not afraid to return to the screen in all directions. In practice, however, some choices are strange, such as placing the touchpad above the keyboard. You should see the length, but the fact having to place his hand over the keys we do not really seem very natural. In addition, the whole remains heavy (2.5 kg) and was suddenly some doubt on the value of tablet mode, however, first impressions are very good: well finished and beautiful to look at, the R7 could well convince followers technophiles beautiful object, especially to 999 €. A starting price that allows you to enjoy a machine with Core i5, 4GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and a 15.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080.
Whether with the Iconia A1, the Aspire Aspire P3 or R7, Acer shows its willingness to adapt to computer habits have changed dramatically in recent years. If you do not yet know whether these new products will be compelling enough to attract the public, we can not deny to the Taiwanese manufacturer is in right direction. Perhaps the only valid?
