Editors’ Summary
In addition, Acer will demonstrate latest developments of its growing Build Your Own Cloud (BYOC™) ecosystem and give visitors the opportunity to preview client-side devices as part of the abPBX plus communication solution for enterprises.
New Windows-based Products Supported by Acer for the Free Upgrade to Windows 10
Acer will launch new Windows notebook and desktop PCs this year at Computex, with the Aspire Switch 11 V 2-in-1 notebook, as well as new Aspire Z Series all-in-one PCs including the 23.8-inch touch-enabled Aspire Z3-710 and 19.5-inch Aspire ZC-700 – both featuring Full HD LED backlit displays. All models ship with Windows 8.1 and are supported by Acer for the free upgrade to Windows 101 when it becomes available later this summer.
The Red Dot award-winning Aspire Switch 11 V 2-in-1 notebooks feature the powerful yet low energy consuming Intel® Core™ M processors under its stylish aluminum cover, allowing up to 8 hours of battery life for professionals on the go. The latch-less “Acer Snap Hinge 2” with magnet design and guiding plane provides an effortless transition experience between the notebook, pad, tent, and display modes, while elevating the keyboard for comfortable typing and lowering the center of gravity to increase stability.
The Aspire Switch 11 V’s Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3-protected 11.6-inch Full HD2 panel features Zero Air Gap and IPS technology for crisp and clear images with a wide viewing angle. Acer VisionCare™ provides extra care for the users’ eyes, while built-in dual front-facing speakers enhanced by Acer TrueHarmony and Dolby® Digital Plus Home Theater™ technology make it ideal for both work and play. A new 10-inch model featuring the recently launched Intel® Atom™ x5 processor will be announced later this year.
Latest Android Devices Ship with Android Lollipop Sweetness
Acer will also debut two new Android tablets with screen sizes of 8 and 7 inches. The new Iconia One 8 Series features the best-in-class touch and writing experience with Acer Precision Plus technology supporting control with writing instruments as fine as a pencil. The Iconia One 8 (B1-830) ships with the latest version of Android 5.1 Lollipop, and together with a powerful MediaTek octa-core processor, delivers a high-performance web browsing, gaming, and video playing experience. This addition to the Iconia One 8 family provides an alternative to the previously announced Iconia One 8 (B1-820) with an Intel quad-core processor.
The new 7-inch Iconia One 7 (B1-760HD) features a HD IPS display with wide viewing angles, a textile-patterned back cover that comes in a variety of fashionable colors, and is pre-loaded with the Acer Iconia Suite that offers intuitive ways to simplify tasks with touch gestures and quick access icons.
The Speed and Security of Chrome OS with a Tiny Footprint
Chrome OS devices have been well received by schools and businesses for their speed and security as the OS is constantly updated from the cloud with built-in Google virus protection. At the upcoming Computex Taipei, Acer will announce the successor of its petite Chrome OS desktop, the Chromebox CXI2, refreshed with Intel® Core™ i3 and Celeron® processors, Intel® HD Graphics, 16GB SSD, a maximum of 8GB dual-channel DDR3 1600MHz memory, and speedy 802.11ac wireless and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, delivering performance to meet even the most demanding Chrome OS needs. Business users will appreciate it being Citrix® Ready™ out of the box for desktop virtualization applications, with the TPM 1.2 secure cryptoprocessor and Kensington lock slot providing security inside-and-out.
Complete abPBX plus Communications Solution Unveiled
For the first time, Acer will publicly display the full abPBX plus communications solution, a BYOC-based multimedia private branch exchange system addressing the needs of enterprises with a series of cost reducing and performance enhancing solutions that improve flexibility and lessen communication barriers.
