When the Acer Iconia first arrived at the office we weren’t sure what to think of the notebook-tablet hybrid. But after spending some time with the device and seeing firsthand just how nice it is to use its dual-touch interface, we’re staunch converts...

The Acer Iconia 6120 laptop is one of those marquee, "halo" products meant to draw attention to the brand as much as to satisfy everyday computing needs. In many ways it's a pretty ordinary 14-inch laptop. The standout feature, however, is its second...
If the Acer Iconia has one main problem, it's that the lower touchscreen comes with a whole lot of baggage. It makes the system thick, for starters. At 1.4 inches thick, the Iconia isn't huge, but it is considerably thicker than laptops with similar s...

We've seen little innovation in laptop design in the last few years. Most companies seem to think that using a brushed aluminum finish or adding Intel's latest mobile CPU is all they need to do to freshen a product line. Still, Acer's not the first co...

Are two screens better than one? This isn’t the first time a product has begged that question: the first was the Toshiba Libretto W100 7” dual screen Windows 7 portable, and the second was the Kycoera Echo dual screen Android smartphone that’s due out...
Innovative design, decent price, excellent design and build.
Paltry battery life, heavy, not a product for those who do lots of data entry.
Being a geek and a technologist, I love the innovation and quality of the Acer Iconia 6120. I also applaud Acer’s attempt at some custom software that makes the dual screen design more practical, enjoyable and useful. But as a practical pundit, I don’...

Depending on your taste for the unusual, the Acer Iconia 6120 ($1,199.99 street, 3 stars) is either teetering on the edge of madness or pushing the boundaries of innovation. It boasts two 14-inch widescreens that are hinged together like a traditional...
Dual screens equals lots of screen real estate. Innovative touch software bundle. Reasonably priced. USB 3.0 port included. Its TouchBrowser utilizes both screens.
Virtual keyboard will anger and flummox most typists. Big and heavy for a tablet or laptop. Bottom screen is hard to use under a bright light. Media card slot reader is an external USB attachment. Gesture editor and number of other utilities are too BETA to use. Paltry battery life. Lacks a good 3D chip for CAD and serious graphics designers.
The Acer Iconia 6120 is a unique and innovative take on multitasking, but the virtual keyboard and Acer's touch software pack aren't ready for prime time. Buy it now...

We've slammed a lot of Windows-based consumer tablets for not taking the touch experience seriously, so Acer deserves some credit for innovating here. The Acer Ring interface on the Iconia 6120 is a cool way to interact with the notebook; the touch key...

But seriously: The hype of the first introduction at the end of 2010 has calmed down and the Iconia "laptops" are in the shelves for 1500 euros. The time has now come to question this devices sense – or its potential non-sense – critically. Is the dual sc...
