On Tuesday at a press conference announced that Acer, a dual-screen multi-touch laptop that, while such a concept computer in the flesh, also try to see how they get the best of both worlds at once. Iconia is a 14-inch laptop with an additional 14-inch screen, where a keyboard would normally, allowing the device is in fact a large version of the Toshiba Libretto, we reviewed a few months ago.

The focus on the Iconia seems to be, “use” the gap between video audio content and normal office productivity, and while the design is bold, remains in serious question its effectiveness. The two gorilla-glass multi-touch displays seem enforced as the iPad panels, with the support for 10-finger to touch the same time.
Really, however, is a touch device useless without a good interface and software support like on HP Compaq Presario CQ62-225NR. The Iconia show some promise. The determination of all 10 fingers on the bottom of the screen automatically starts a virtual keyboard, while an open hand-finger starts Acer’s own wheel such as starting applications. It is futuristic, but perhaps an unnecessary visual splendor.
Iconia is in her heart, a laptop with Core i5 known data: up to 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, integrated Intel graphics, a hard disk up to 750GB, Windows 7 Home Premium. Ports are also typical of a high-end laptop, two USB 2.0, USB 3.0, HDMI and VGA. These twin 1,366 x 768 displays are the heart of the complaint here, and although Acer has some methods of using these displays shown in innovative ways, we’re just not sure that anyone would use a laptop, as is conventional rather than a model or keyboarded a large-screen tablet like an iPad.
No specific availability or price has been announced either – Acer Iconia calls a “concept” device, which it seems to fix the place in the same experimental conditions expensive category, the Toshiba Libretto fell in W105. Most importantly, we do not have a Windows 7 Touch device that’s easy to find really easy or useful. Will Iconia break the mold? We have to wait and see.
