Laptop with two touch screens from Acer

The prototype is a laptop computer with two touch screens 15 inches from Acer. The second screen takes up the position and functions of the keyboard and the touchpad, as we have seen in several projects for netbooks in the past. Supports multitouch and enables creation of truly novel user interfaces.


The information available on the system were really minimal, the operating system is Windows 7 and the CPU Core i5 with the operating frequency 2,66 GHz. Indicates that the response of the computer is a bit slow and problematic, which probably means it is in the early stages of its evolution. Of course, if eventually released, in 2011 these features are likely to have changed, but such a device can create a new atmosphere in the market.

Acer: Chrome OS netbook

Rumors say Acer has already set a new netbook, which incorporates the functional Google, Chrome OS.


In the race for what manufacturer will first release a netbook, which runs the operating system of Google, Chrome OS, Acer seems to be the first.

According to rumors that have circulated on the Internet, Acer has already prepared a new device, while at this stage is testing the compatibility and performance with the Chrome OS.

As reports say the upcoming Acer's netbook is equipped with processor Intel, Atom N455, at 1,6 GHz, while RAM reaches 1GB. Furthermore, Acer has chosen not to have a hard drive and to put a SSD of Sandisk, capacity of 8GB.

Other features will include a wired network card, Bluetooth, light sensor, web camera and wireless network card.

Acer is expected to make a formal announcement of the upcoming netbook, which is estimated to go into production until the end of September.

Release date for the first dual core Atom

Intel has announced the arrival of netbooks which are equipped with the first dual core processor Atom. The new Atom N550 may have a lower frequency operation compared to other models in the family but it has unquestionable advantages compared to monocytes models.



The N550 runs at 1.5GHz, but compared to the mononuclear model has twice the cache, consuming roughly the same power as other Atom. Intel claims that the binuclear model is ideal for Flash videos, which is where mononuclear processors often face difficulties.



The first netbooks with the new processor are expected from companies such as Acer, ASUS, Fujitsu, Lenovo, LG, MSI, Samsung and Toshiba.
