A new Tablet from Acer

-

MANILA, Philippines - The Acer Iconia Tab W500 is a revolutionary hybrid device that combines the simplicity and portability of tablets with the efficiency and reliability of laptops and PCs, thus consistently delivering the best of both worlds: touch and type, work and play, connect and create.

The Acer Iconia Tab W500 is less than 16 millimeters thin, smaller than an average magazine, and lighter than a traditional notebook computer — but don’t mistake its compact form factor for lack of computing power. Not only does it come fully loaded with a cutting-edge AMD C-Series dual-core processor, powerful AMD Radeon HD 6250 Graphics, 2 GB of lightning-fast DDR3 memory, and quick and quiet data access through a 32 GB solid-state drive; it also runs on the familiar operating environment of Windows 7 Home Premium, which has been modified to respond to the most natural pointing device in the world: your fingertips.

A touch-optimized version of Windows sounds compelling enough, but wait until you see the system spring to life on the Acer Iconia Tab W500’s 10.1-inch multi-touchscreen display. On it, all your photos, videos, Web pages, documents, presentations, e-books, and magazines are displayed crisply and clearly—thanks to the screen’s incredible 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution. Moreover, LED backlighting, ambient light sensors, full 1080 HD playback capability, auto-rotation features, and Acer’s acclaimed CrystalBrite anti-reflective LCD screen technology make everything you do on the Acer Iconia Tab W500 look extra bright, extra brilliant, and extra beautiful.

As a tablet, the Acer Iconia Tab W500 boasts a sleek and stylish design; but it also works harder and smarter than its all-too-flashy counterparts. An intuitive control interface called Acer Ring is integrated to enhance ease of use; with one quick screen grab, you can launch a wide selection of apps, tools, utilities, and settings. Also included are: the Microsoft Office Starter 2010 suite, Microsoft Silverlight, the DLNA-enabled Acer Clear.fi wireless media-sharing solution, Acer InviLink Nplify Wi-Fi 802.11 connectivity, TouchBrowser for Windows (complete with Adobe Flash 10.1), and the fully customizable My Journal Web clipboard, a cloud-based productivity app for organizing your favorite online content.

The Acer Iconia Tab W500 also extends the tablet experience in a way that few, if any, gadgets can: by transforming into a productivity-enhancing compact clamshell laptop with a full-sized keyboard dock. This dock’s chiclet keys and two Acer FineTrack buttons enable you to type comfortably and navigate smoothly; moreover, with its two built-in USB ports and Fast Ethernet connectivity, you gain instant access to your most important data, whenever and wherever you need it.

The Acer Iconia Tab W500 itself is packed with extras that make the device stand out in a sea of ordinary tablets and PCs. Keep on going, working, and playing with the tablet’s solid battery life (up to 4 hours of HD video playback and 6 hours of Internet browsing). Listen to music like never before with the integrated Dolby Advanced Audio v2 audio enhancement suite. Stream slideshows, movies, presentations, and favorite content to a bigger screen and a wider audience with the HDMI data transmission interface. Capture life-like images, create your own movies, and communicate face-to-face with friends anywhere in the world by using the Acer Crystal Eye, a switchable pair of high-resolution Web cameras with full audio-video recording capability.

 It is available Acer resellers nationwide at a suggested retail price of P29,000.
