Acer's Windows 8 tablets, ultrabooks

Acer incorporated touchscreens in new ultrabooks and tablets introduced at Computex, but the designs were more conventional compared to Asus. Acer introduced two Windows 8 tablets -- Iconia W510 and W700 -- which run on Intel processors. The W510 has a 10.1-inch screen and is priced from US$599 to $799, while the high-performance W700 ranges between $799 and $999. Acer's new Aspire S7 touch ultrabooks come in an 11.6-inch model, which offers nine hours of battery, and a 13.3-inch model, which offers up to 12 hours. The ultrabooks are priced between $999 and $1,799. Acer will also introduce new Windows RT devices with ARM processors in the first quarter next year.
