Acer Aspire S7: Windows 8 touchscreen Ultrabook

Acer has just announced two new Windows 8 Ultrabooks with a built-in touchscreen: the 13.3-inch and 11.6-inch Aspire S7.

The new touch-enabled laptops have been revealed at the Computex trade show in Taipei and promise to let users get the most from Microsoft's new operating system when it launches later in the year.

Available in two sizes, 13.3-inch and 11.6-inch, the addition of a touchscreen means Acer can claim they are "the thinnest and smallest, respectively, Full HD touch Ultrabooks".


Acer is being pretty stingy on specs at the moment, but has confirmed that the 13.3-inch model offers up to 12 hours of battery life, while the 11.6-inch model can run for up to 9 hours from a single charge. The S7 also comes with a backlit keyboard.

Time for Ultrabooks

The new Generation computers making difficult to differentiate a tablet from a notebook or ultrabook. You can flip it slide it and sometimes can be used as dual screen with different functions on both screens. Its a blur  line between a laptop and a tablet

At Computex Taipei, the world's second largest computer show, visitors flocked to the booths trying out every twist and turn that converts an ultrabook into a tablet.

Lenovo Group Ltd's IdeaPad Yoga and Asustek Computer Inc's Taichi have screens that bend all the way back. Samsung Electronics' Hybrid becomes an ultrabook when the tablet clips onto a keyboard with magnetic hinges.

One tablet-ultrabook convertible that garnered attention was Asustek's Taichi, whose dual-sided screens can run different applications at the same time.

Here are some ultrabook releases at the computex show. Have a look
