The Acer Aspire 1820PT is the brand new entry made by Acer to its range of subnotebooks. Before going into the specifications of the new Acer model, let’s get some idea about what subnotebooks basically are. They are the latest buzz in the market of portable computers and are in great demand these days, partly due to their small and compact size and partly due to their price range which is quite low compared to standard notebooks. If you compare those early models of portable computers with these subnotebooks, they appear like giants next to the subnotebook types. The screen size of most of the subnotebooks is often less than 14-inches and they weigh much less than typical laptops. This saving in size and weight is usually achieved by either including removable or optical disk drives or by omitting ports. To compensate for these lacking features, some of the subnotebooks can be paired with docking stations. The Acer Aspire 1820PT has an 11-inch display screen and weighs around 1.72 kg. The dimensions of the Acer tablet PC are 285 x 208.9 x 28.5-34.5 mm which adds on to its portability. It is perfect for usage on tours and travels as you can carry it conveniently without any hassle.

Featuring a beautiful 180 degree rotating multi-touch screen

The Acer Aspire 1820PT notebook has the amazing laptop-tablet convertible design with an ample touchscreen. Convertible notebooks have a base body with an attached keyboard and the base attaches to the display at a single joint called a swivel hinge or rotating hinge. This hinge allows the screen to rotate 180o and also fold down on top of the keyboard providing a flat writing surface. This convertible design of the subnotebook allows you to use it as a photo frame or as a perfect presentation tool. In addition, you can also fold it up like a notepad to take notes, read e-books or navigate through maps. To add more there is a built-in accelerometer that automatically rotates images in the suitable format while viewing images and provides a superior viewing experience. The display screen of the Acer Aspire 1820PT subnotebook also comes with the multitouch feature that allows you to interact with the device by placing two or more fingers directly onto the surface of the screen. The incorporation of this feature eliminates the need of a mouse or stylus pen for interaction and thus, provides you more freedom of working with your portable computer. You can enter the Acer TouchPortal into the notebook which allows you to manage your multimedia with drag-and-drop convenience. Using the Acer TouchMemo, you can create colourful memos and to complete your touching experience there is the multi-gesture touchpad that is perfect for scrolling, rotating images, zooming and browsing. For a much better typing experience and full usability, there is the Acer FineTip full-size keyboard with larger keys included into the notebook.
