Till now, only a singular touch laptop dominated the scene, which was the HP touchsmart notebook, incredibly powerful, incredibly stylish, incredibly unaffordable. To give some (tough) competition to the King, Acer recently launched it's Windows 7 run touch notebook, and after reading it's specifications and price, I find it amazingly underpriced. I mentioned in one of my recent post about Windows 7 kickstarting the touch era.
Now talking about the laptop, it is running Windows 7 Home Premium, has 3 GB RAM, and a 512 MB Graphics Card. A killer rig, isn't it? The only flaw I can find is that it is run by a Pentium based processor, which is quite outdated, to put it right. But with such heavy memory on-board, performance might not really be a problem.
And the thing that puts it in the limelight is it's multiple-touch supporting capacitive touchscreen. Windows 7 takes it to a whole new level, but the only thing I fear is the Pentium Processor integration, which might act as a downgrade. Probably the 512 MB graphics card and 3 GB RAM give enough horsepower to enjoy High definition multimedia, high end games, and memory famished applications like Photoshop, web design, though 3D design still remains a doubt.
But priced at a very very reasonable Rs. 41,000 this laptop gives the best value for money, in the touch market. The capacitive touchscreen takes it on an even higher level, as it goes for superior touch experience and multiple touch detection.
So my eyes are already glued to this cool laptop, don't let this slip away from you. I do expect a price drop in Christmas next month when products like the Sony Vaio L will arrive in the market, though the drop will be just 2-3k, you can however expect a similar product with hopefully a better processor.
Toodles for now,
