- Acer has unveiled a portion of its Windows 8 line-up with two all-in-one PCs and a pair of monitors featuring 1080p touchscreen displays.
- The company announced its 27-inch 7600U and 23-inch 5600U high-end desktop computers, both with 1080p displays that include a tilt mechanism for reclining at an 80-degree angle.
- “They also boost a super-thin design that is no more than 1.4 inches thick,” reports Digital Trends. “A 10-point capacitive touch screen is available on select models.”
- The 7600U will include a Core i5-3210M processor, 8GB of RAM, Nvidia GT 640M GPU and Blu-ray drive. The 5600U will have similar offerings, minus the discrete graphics solution and Blu-ray drive. Both include HDMI, USB 3.0, Bluetooth and 802.11 a/b/g/n.
- “Pricing for the 5600U starts at $1,149 with a touchscreen or $999 without,” notes the post. “The premium 7600U starts at $1,899 and will only be available with a touchscreen.” The 5600U will be available for the Windows 8 launch, while the 7600U will debut in late November.
- For those solely interested in a touchscreen display, Acer will release two displays with 1080p resolution and 10-point capacitive touch panel with IPS technology. Additional features include built-in speakers, USB 3.0 ports, VGA, DVI and HDMI.
- “Pricing on the 23-inch T232HL starts at $499 while the 27-inch T272HL starts at $699,” explains the post. “These prices could prove very competitive if image quality is on par with other IPS monitors.”
