Acer Iconia – Unusual Laptop With Two Screens And No Keyboard

From time to time the market there are very unusual and interesting device, its bright appearance, functionality and ergonomics of an unusual challenge the dull gray mass of the total. And each time, it is worth to see such a device on the counter in a store or in a “hot review”, there is a clear head in thought, “Wow!” And then a much less conscious “I want to ….”.

The problem is that very often a laptop, looking sheer candy in the cabin, in real life can be awkward to use. And awkward device without noticing, but very quickly cease to use it. So many are gathering dust “breakthrough” gadgets on the shelves of the rich users who like to try new things, or sold for a pittance. While successful models of long hold on the market the brand and price.

What is the entry? Seeing something interesting and unusual, before you buy is soberly to weigh its pros and cons. However, we can not weigh, if money is not sorry and you are mentally prepared for that device from the list quickly perekochuet favorite things on a long drawer.

Today, we have to test very interesting from a conceptual point of view of the laptop Acer Iconia. Its main feature was the presence of a second screen to place the keyboard in the enclosure. However, he is a full laptop with a 14-inch screen and quite productive platform for Intel Core. During testing, we try to weigh its pros and cons, as well as to assess whether you can use it in everyday life, or a concept, fit only to attract attention in the store?

Tridatsionno begin with an overview description of the configuration. Incidentally, the manufacturer assigns it not for laptops, but rather to the tablets. Generally, the family should take Iconia in his line of Acer, independent place. It includes a number of devices, even different class: notebook Iconia, a communicator with an unusual aspect ratio Iconia Smart, as well as tablets Acer A500 and W500.

The main advantages of a laptop Acer Iconia states the opportunity to work on two screens, ease of control device by means of gestures, the presence of a functional configuration tools and system management, the ability to easily interaction with social networks and content management, usability, etc. On the other hand, the scope is described very briefly: to get into the Internet, manage content, access to the network.

The Japanese manufacturer Sony Ericsson has overhauled its Sony vgp-bps9/b. The Xperia minis are now back with Android 3.2 up-to-date.

As with its predecessors, there are again two versions of the minis, with a per-variant. Differences are in price, a mechanical keyboard and a full front camera that with a Olympus li-50b specifically for Skype. As mentioned above, the little potter about with the latest version of Android-Ginger Bread. In addition, Sony Ericsson delivers with its own interface, which allows one, for example, the occupancy of apps on the corners.

The display has been increased to 3 inches, and maps with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. This unfortunately caused a small increase in housing that’s the main selling factor. Tuned is the Xperia mini / mini pro with a 1-GHz CPU and a 5-megapixel camera, which allows for the inclusion of 720p video. The often criticized battery life should be balanced by a slightly larger battery. Similarly, support the minis all the standards such as GPS, Nikone D3100 battery, WLAN, Bluetooth, HSDPA reception and FM radio. Moreover, also the very good music player software in the Xperia mini course. Facebook and Twitter clients, such as multi-touch is also well on board.

Sony Ericsson Xperia is the mini / mini pro in the third quarter of 2011 published in Germany. Price, the manufacturer’s instructions amounted to 240 € for the normal version and 270 € at the mini pro. Thus, the new phones more than 100 € less than the starting price of the Jvc bn-v907u.

A 3 inch display is in any case in the right direction. I would personally still a bit too small for mobile surfing. On the other hand, a Nikone EN-EL14 design is not bad. Biggest disappointment was with the predecessor to the institution of Android-update mechanism by Sony. Hopefully get the last out time, update their products correctly. Because the predecessor probably find no Android Ginger Bread Update.
