The Acer Iconia 6120's virtual keyboard deck. Instead you’ll roll with virtual versions, and how well you like them largely depends on how much prior experience you have with touchscreen keyboards and whether you mind keeping an eye on your fingers, lest they wander as you type. There’s no hardware keyboard or trackpad. Open it up, and the Iconia looks like something out of a sci-fi flick: both planes are dominated by 14” multi-touch displays. It has two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port, HDMI, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet and an external USB SD/MMC card reader.įrom the outside, the Acer Iconia 6120 looks like a fairly classy high end notebook with a metal champagne lid and underside cover, polished gloss black plastics and a 14” laptop footprint. It has a 2.66GHz Intel Core i5 CPU with 4 gigs of DDR3 RAM, Intel HD integrated graphics, a 640 gig hard drive, WiFi 802.11n, a webcam and two LED backlit 1366 x 768 displays. The Acer Iconia is a mid-range 14” notebook by the specs. In fact, the price is almost mass-market friendly, and at $1,199 for a well-equiped laptop, it costs just a little bit more than did the fascinating but not very useful Libretto. While the Libretto was a limited run anniversary concept piece whose product run totaled a few thousand, Acer intends their Iconia 6120 to be a mass market notebook.

What's not: Paltry battery life, heavy, not a product for those who do lots of data entry.Īre 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 soon. What's hot: Innovative design, decent price, excellent design and build. Home > Notebook Reviews > Acer Iconia 6120
