The whole package weighs just under 6.2 pounds. The Iconia offers USB 3.0, two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI output, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and gigabit Ethernet. Under the hood-or screens, anyway-the Iconia sports a second-generation Intel Core i5 processor with Intel HD graphics, 4 GB of RAM, and a 640 GB hard drive. Users can also make their own gestures, manage power and media outputs-and the virtual keyboard comes up automatically if users put both palms on the screen. Acer’s bundled apps will include immediate access to photos and videos on the computer, a “Social Jogger” (and aggregator for Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube), clipping applications for Web sites and images, and TouchBrowser, designed to offer a dual-screen Web browsing experience. Find the app you want, shift a finger to tap it, and presto: app launched. The Iconia also features “AppCards” along the sides of the Ring Control that scroll as the user spins the ring. The Acer Ring Control puts a touch-controlled ring at the center of the Iconia’s lower display: users manipulate the ring like it were a giant knob, placing five fingers around it to move between favorite applications and features, launch a virtual keyboard, surf the Web, post photos, interact with social networks, and more. “Whether the Touchbook is used by a small business owner or a student, its unique dual screen design enhances the interaction they will have with their digital data.” “The Acer Iconia Touchbook delivers a computing and visual experience like no other,” said Acer America senior product marketing manager Eric Ackerson, in a statement.

And the Iconia runs Windows 7 Premium 64-bit. Folks who want to type can pull up virtual keyboards to use on the lower display, but users will get around the computer using a new Acer Ring Control interface specifically designed for a touchscreen. instead of a traditional keyboard and trackpad, the Iconia features two 14-inch displays (protected by Gorilla Glass) for double the screen real estate of a traditional notebook. Computer maker Acer is taking that to the next level (literally), announcing that its dual-touchscreen Acer Iconia Touchbook is now available for pre-sale in North America. If there’s one thing smartphones and the Apple iPad have proven, it’s that there’s a healthy market for touchscreen devices.
