We're expecting to see quite a few quad-core devices at CES this year, so it seems only fitting that Acer starts the week off right with a glimpse of its upcoming quad-core tablet.

Man, mobile computing is starting to catch up so fast....... its pretty sweet if you ask me.

Until they start putting more than 512mb ram to actually utilize quad core for multitasking, nobody cares (or should care). Come on manufacturers, give us 2GB+ of ram already!

and a 10.1-inch "IPS-quality" 1080p display

IPS-Quality??? So what, not really an IPS panel, just a really good looking TN panel?

Maybe it's just me but I don't need pixel density that high. It's easier for the GPU to push less pixels anyway. I would prefer the higher FPS.

Transformer Prime has 1GB.

This has microUSB at least...Transformer Prime+ looks like it's still missing microUSB on the tablet

If anyone is going to their booth, take a close look at the display and report back on how it compares w/ the Galaxy Tab or Transformer Prime...

This would have at least 1GB, but I do agree with you. 512MB of RAM even in a mobile phone (Lol, one of my Laptop's has 512MB of RAM >.

Absolutely agree. Quad core.. who'd have thought a few years back.
Will not replace a PC or Laptop, but certainly has its uses.

Amen, it would be nice if laptop screens get an upgrade too...

Do we think the reason that they don't have a release date is because they don't have control over the supply chain, or that they are still working things out in the manufacturing and testing process?

I hate how we get these things leaked and nothing for months...at least give us a date to hope for.
