Amazon Black Friday Countdown Deal Is Acer Laptop With 5 Free Game Downloads

Topic:

The Amazon Black Friday Countdown deal for today is featuring the new Acer AS5738Z-4111 Windows 7 Laptop bundled with five free game downloads.
The Acer AS5738Z-4111 features an 15.6 inch screen, 2.1GHz Intel Pentium T4300 Processor, 4GB DDR2 RAM, 320GB HDD and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

The price of the Acer AS5738Z is $499.99. The 5 download games are priced at $6.99 each. You save $34.95. This Acer laptop is ok, but this is not really a sexy deal, especially since I have a feeling the digital content is not valued as high as getting a package with a disc.

Acer Aspire Timeline 1820PT Hits Australia

Topic:

There isn't a self-respecting gadget nerd alive who doesn't want a multitouch tablet notebook or netbook. The new UI possibilities that multitouch brings to the table are dizzying, and reason enough to want a tablet as soon as possible. That's why I'm so excited about Acer's new Aspire Timeline 1820PT tablet. It's just shown up in Australian online stores (via Netbooked), and could be heading to the US in short order.

The 1820PT is a tablet worth getting psyched for. It packs an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.2 GHz processor, 2 GB of DDR3 RAM, a 250 GB HD, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, and GMA 4500 MHD graphics. The OS is Windows 7 Home Premium, and it has a 6-cell battery capable of 8 hours of use. The screen is multitouch capable and 11.6" in size. Droolworthy, right?

The Acer A1's Snapdragon Processor; Underclocked?

Topic:

The Acer A1 “Liquid” made headlines as the first confirmed Android smartphone to pack the badass Snapdragon 1 GHz processor under its hood. Unfortunately, it looks like people who buy the A1 won't actually get to make use of a whole GHz of power. According to MobileTechWorld (via Engadget) the Liquid's processor will be underclocked to just 768 MHz.

There are several reasons for Acer to gimp their own processor. Chief among them is battery life. The A1 boasts up to a week of standby battery life, putting it far ahead of most power-sucking Android handsets. It's also possible the Liquid team underclocked the processor as a way to avoid overheating issues.

Android Smartbook Acer's Secret Weapon

Topic:

Asus has delayed their Android-running Eee PC several times, but it now looks like they are getting ready to follow through with a launch early in 2010. This Android device will run with a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, and is being marketed as a smartbook. Asus has high hopes for the gadget, and called it their “secret weapon” in a statement to Shanzai (via Gizmodo).

The itty-bitty smartbook could be a breakthrough in the development of netbooks. With the introduction of CULVs and other ultra-portable notebooks, netbooks have shifted towards smaller, lower-priced machines. When consumers buy a netbook, they want a device that is good for browsing, word processing, and social networking. A netbook needs to boot fast and have great battery life. That is pretty much it.

Acer A1 Liquid Is Powerful, Sexy

Topic:

Acer, Dell, and Asus are all computer manufacturers that have tried their hand at building a smartphone. Asus worked with Garmin to create the sub-par (and too-late released) Nuvifone, while Dell's 3i has yet to leave China (and doesn't sound very impressive, spec-wise). Acer is the only one of the three that seems to really be taking their smartphone offerings seriously. The A1 Liquid is set to be one of the most powerful smartphones in the world, and it looks like it's going to have one hell of a gorgeous UI.

HDBlog.it (via Giz) has a whole gallery of pics. Acer has put in a single homescreen toggle that allows you to switch your WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, and other functions on-or-off. They've also put in an alt-tab-like task manager, as well as a brand new dialer. It's clear that Acer isn't just throwing together an Android smartphone to take advantage of the craze. They've put some dedication into this machine.
