Acer has announced two of its newest Windows 8 tablets at Computex, Taipei. The ICONIA W510 evolves the computing experience with three different modes of touchscreen operation, while the ICONIA W700 is a 11.6-inch full HD display Windows 8 tablet with the added versatility of a cradle. Both are designed to set new standards in ergonomics and user-friendliness. The most unique part of the W510 tablet is the tri-mode, allowing users to touch, type and view. Aside from the conventional tablet mode, it can be used in productivity mode.
A detachable keyboard dock can be connected to the tablet for optimal typing as well as extending the battery life up to 18 hours. Rotating the tablet 295 degrees allows it to be used in presentation mode, which can be used for watching a video, browsing a webpage or viewing a PowerPoint presentation. In addition to it, the W510 has Always On, Always Connect technology and a 10.1-inch touchscreen, providing a wider viewing angle with more vibrant and consistent colors. It is an everyday tablet with convertible functions, designed for people whose primary needs are freedom of usage for slate, keyboard and hands-free touch.
Engadget was at Computex and they did have an interesting hands-on of the two devices and their capabilities, which can be viewed out here.
