Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksGraphic CardsAcernVIDIA
Acer has officially taken the wraps off its newest ultrabook, the Aspire Timeline Ultra M3, a 20mm thick, 15.6 inch system that happens to be the first of its class to use a dedicated GeForce graphics chip. It's not just any dedicated graphics chip either, but rather Nvidia's long-awaited 28nm Kepler GPU.
The machine is powered by a Sandy Bridge Core i5 or i7 processor with integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics and a GeForce GT 640M to take care of the more demanding graphics duties. It features Nvidia's Optimus technology for automatic switching between the two GPUs, helping the Ultra M3 achieve up to eight hours of battery life. Stretching the definition of Ultrabook, Acer has even incuded an ...

Gone are the days when ghastly looking CRT monitors cluttered your desk with a chunky footprint and all the grace of a sloth.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsAcerGoogleAndroid 4.0Liquid Glow
Acer has followed up the CloudMobile with a second smartphone due at Mobile World Congress. The Liquid Glow will carry Acer's lightly skinned version of Android 4.0, but with a more modest 3.7-inch display. The newer, curvier design will be its own highlight, with colors such as Alpine White and Sakura Pink on the back that will be matched to the display at the front.
A five-megapixel camera with a flash is standard, and NFC is new to Acer's Liquid line. The short-range wireless here is useful for Android Beam device-to-device sharing with other Android 4.0 owners as well as the usual tag reading and mobile payments. Most other details have been left out so far, although Android 4.0 perform....

Acer Liquid Glow gets unveiled, coming to MWC 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAcerLiquid Glow
Here comes another Android smartphone that we will get to check out next week in Barcelona – the Acer Liquid Glow. The company just announced the handset officially confirming that it will be shown off at the MWC 2012 expo.
In terms of specs, we don't really know much as to what the Acer Liquid Glow has to offer. However, it seems like it will be a mid-range device, given that it sports a 3.7-inch display and a 5-megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash. Furthermore, the smartphone will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box and will support NFC. And if you hate it when smartphones come only in one boring color shade, you will be happy to know that the Acer Liquid Glow will be o...

Acer S271HL: Ultra-Slim LED Monitor with a 100,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio
Like UnlikeFiled in: MonitorsAcerS271HL Cbid
Acer today unveiled its new S271HL S1 series monitor, an ultra-slim LED display with a scant 24mm profile and a rounded glossy porcelain-like foot stand. It has a 27-inch panel with a Full HD 1080p (1920x1080 @ 60Hz) resolution, but its real claim to fame is its 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio (dynamic, of course), along with a super fast 2ms response time.
The space saving design, impressive spec sheet, and and large screen panel combine to form a panel suitable for both work and play, according to Acer, though if you're into serious graphics work, a Twisted Nematic (TN) display is probably not on your radar. Nevertheless, for the working stiff who doesn't require an IPS panel, the S271HL S1 i...

Acer revenues recover reluctantly
Like UnlikeFiled in: Acer
Acer has returned to profit after two quarters of back-to-back losses, posting a net income of NT$75 million ($2.5 million) in Q4 2011. Although Acer has avoided a loss this quarter, weak sales have led to a sixth straight quarterly revenue decline. Dwindling interest in netbooks, hard drive shortages, and the continued growth of the tablet market have all been cited as reasons for the company's troubles. 2011 has been a difficult year for the Taiwanese manufacturer, with disappointing profits in Q1 making way for losses in Q2 and Q3, and the company's preliminary results indicate an total annual loss of $212 million. In contrast, the company posted a $601 million profit last year.

Acer sues former CEO Gianfranco Lanci for joining Lenovo
Like UnlikeFiled in: AcerLenovo
Acer has sued former CEO and President Gianfranco Lanci for allegedly breaching a contract signed during his departure last year. Filed in Lanci's native Italy, the suit highlights a non-compete clause that barred Lanci from joining rival firms for 12 months -- a measure commonly taken when high-profile employees resign or otherwise exit a company.
Lanci purportedly violated that pact by joining Lenovo as a consultant last September, only six or seven months after striking the agreement (the contract was reportedly signed in February but Lanci left in March). Lanci's relationship with Lenovo expanded in January when the Chinese PC maker named him as the head of its new Europe, Middle East an...

Acer Iconia Tab A510 to hit European retailers this April?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAcerICONIA TAB A510-10k32u
Amidst the madness that was CES, Acer quietly snuck its Iconia Tab A510 onto the showroom floor, tucking the tablet into the folds of NVIDIA's booth. While the company was more than willing to fess up to the slate's specs -- quad-core Tegra 3 processor, skinned Ice Cream Sandwich UX, 1280 x 800 display -- little in the way of pricing and availability were revealed. If a report out of Germany is to be believed, however, Europeans (sorry, statesiders) might very well see the 10.1-incher hit retail as early as this April, with a €500 price tag in tow. That's all the rumor mill's wrought for now, folks, but we'll keep you posted should the news go official at CeBIT 2012.

Acer, Asus and Lenovo to equip ultrabooks with Thunderbolt ports in Q2
Like UnlikeFiled in: ASUSAcerLenovo
Acer, Asus and Lenovo will reportedly begin selling ultrabooks equipped with Intel’s fast and versatile Thunderbolt I/O port, which combines DisplayPort and PCI Express, during the second quarter of 2012. DigiTimes said mostly high-end computers will adopt Thunderbolt this year since it now costs more than $20 to add Thunderbolt connectivity to a computer. Apple was one of the first companies to adopt Thunderbolt and it currently equips a number of its computers and displays with the technology. A recent patent filing also suggested Apple may begin using Thunderbolt in iOS devices, too.
