The Acer Iconia's innovative dual-touch-screen design and virtual keyboard works better than you'd expect
And unlike other dual-screen PCs we've seen
This one has enough CPU power for everyday tasks.
Unique dualscreen design
Windows OS extensions from Microsoft and Acer make good use of dual screens
Touch features
Interesting collection of touchenabled applications
Decent CPU performance
Included multiformat memory card reader
Dual screens equals lots of screen real estate. Innovative touch software bundle. Reasonably priced. USB 3.0 port included. Its TouchBrowser utilizes both screens.
Dual multitouch screens offer unique capabilities
Stylish design
Innovative dual-touchscreen design
Virtual keyboard work better than expected
Enough CPU power for everyday tasks.
Innovative design
Decent price
Excellent design and build.
The editors didn't like
Too big and heavy for traditional tablet-use scenarios
Poor battery life
Very hard to touch-type on
Speed typists will find the virtual keyboard has a hint of a lag
And its (virtual) touchpad is needlessly small. It's also saddled with last year's Intel CPUs
Rather than the latest generation
Which might have given it better battery life.
Large
Heavy
And expensive
No recovery disks included
No internal optical drive
Very poor graphics performance
Lots of bloatware
Virtual keyboard will anger and flummox most typists. Big and heavy for a tablet or laptop. Bottom screen is hard to use under a bright light. Media card slot reader is an external USB attachment. Gesture editor and number of other utilities are too BETA to use. Paltry battery life. Lacks a good 3D chip for CAD and serious graphics designers.
Uses lastgen Intel processor
Soft keyboard slows typing
Virtual keyboard has a hint of a lag
Virtual touchpad is needlessly small
Saddled with last year's Intel CPUs.
Paltry battery life
Not a product for those who do lots of data entry.
Abstract: The absolute torrent of tablet PCs and touch-sensitive smartphones is a clear indicator of which way this industry is going to follow in the near future. After years of research and hard work, this way of user interaction has been brought to perfection...

If the Acer Iconia has one main problem, it's that the lower touchscreen comes with a whole lot of baggage. It makes the system thick, for starters. At 1.4 inches thick, the Iconia isn't huge, but it is considerably thicker than laptops with similar s...

Innovative design, decent price, excellent design and build.
Paltry battery life, heavy, not a product for those who do lots of data entry.
Being a geek and a technologist, I love the innovation and quality of the Acer Iconia 6120. I also applaud Acer’s attempt at some custom software that makes the dual screen design more practical, enjoyable and useful. But as a practical pundit, I don’...

Innovative dual-touchscreen design; virtual keyboard work better than expected; enough CPU power for everyday tasks.
Virtual keyboard has a hint of a lag; virtual touchpad is needlessly small; saddled with last year's Intel CPUs.
Unlike a lot of other unique proof-of-concept laptops, the Acer Iconia is fun to use and largely works as advertised. But it has a hard time answering the most frequent question we hear about it: Why would anyone need a dual-touchscreen laptop? ...

The Acer Iconia 6120 is a unique and innovative take on multitasking, but the virtual keyboard and Acer's touch software pack aren't ready for prime time. Buy it now...
Abstract: Oftentimes press releases from the major manufacturers can feel like fluff: "We refreshed our notebook line again this year, new processors, etc." But every so often one of them lets a maniac into their design department, and we get something fairly ...

We've slammed a lot of Windows-based consumer tablets for not taking the touch experience seriously, so Acer deserves some credit for innovating here. The Acer Ring interface on the Iconia 6120 is a cool way to interact with the notebook; the touch key...
