Acer's new TravelMate C310 convertible tablet

At the other end of the tablet scale (from this), we have this new monster from Acer.

  • 14.1-inch XGA display
  • Sonoma Centrino with Pentium M
  • DDR2 SDRAM
  • GeForce Go 6200 graphics
  • 802.11 b/g
  • Bluetooth
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • dual-layer DVD burner
  • 80 or 100GB hard drive
  • 4-in-1 card reader
  • magnesium chassis
  • 8.5-hour battery (claimed)

OK, so the battery life looks a bit on the spurious side, but doesn't it always? This is a desktop replacement that also works as a tablet – quite a different target market to the Fujitsu Lifebook we mentioned earlier. Nice price too – starting from about US$1700.

    These table/PC hybrids are a godsend for contractors, desingers and other business people who have to collect information/make presentations at widely scattered locations but also need a full-featured PC. ACER should target this segment.
