Acer Dual-Screen, Multitouch Laptop Leaks Out 77

Posted by timothy on Sunday September 12, 2010 @10:56AM from the mind-the-smudges dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A 15" laptop from Acer that is currently in production features dual-multitouch displays, one for the main display and one as the keyboard/mouse. It has a 2.67GHz Intel Core i5 processor and runs Windows 7. No release date or pricing information yet as this unit is still heavily in production/testing phases." Replacing a keyboard with a touchscreen sounds like a mixed blessing to me, but not everyone agrees. Witness the (great big) Kno dual-touchscreen e-reader, and the Toshiba Libretto W100 dual-screen mini-laptop, now shipping in Japan.

But then in a DC circuit, dimmers would no longer function, since they rely on the alternating current to turn the light on and off 120 times a second.

Hahaha, nothing's changed. That's why I think the article is so funny...AOL's phone agents are authorized to do just about anything possible to keep a person subscribed. I keep telling my mom to get DSL, but she's been on free AOL for...wow, I can't remember the last time she paid. But the person was right who said the free trial isn't worth it...Stuff takes over your computer.
