We don’t usually associate Acer with cool mobile devices. Quite the contrary, their gear seldom praised, and the company is struggling to stay relevant in this space. They, obviously, don’t like this and are preparing to change some things in the future. Beyond better devices, the Taiwanese company is also looking to launch an Apple…
Acer unveiled a somewhat awkward accessory just in time for the London Fashion Week. What you can see here is a pink hat made for taking that perfect selfie. The so called Acer Selfie-Hat looks like a glittery sombrero, spins 360 degrees, and can house the Acer Iconia A-1 840 tablet. Described as a “one-of-a-kind…
Aside from all those tablets, Acer has also unveiled a new smartphone at IFA – Liquid Z500. This device is hardly a head turner, but it will provide a decent value for the money. Set to hit Europe in just a few weeks with a price tag of just 149 EUR (about $195), this mid-ranger…

That’s all nice, but… simply put, the Chromebook…
You may’ve seen the Acer Aspire Switch 10. It’s a rather decent Windows 8.1 2-in-1 device that can “act” both as a tablet and laptop. Inside, it packs Intel’s Bay Trail Atom Z3740 processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The screen has a diagonal of 10 inches, and the entire package goes…
Acer is seemingly preparing to launch a unique Chromebook, one that would get its power from NVIDIA’s powerful Tegra K1 chip. While that SoC can “handle” the Unreal graphics, we’re not sure how well it’s suited for “regular” computing. Don’t get me wrong, I think NVIDIA has came up with a great product, I’m just…
In addition to all thoses phones and a wrist band, Acer also unveiled the new 8-inch tablet, Iconia Tab 8, ahead of Computex 2014.
