64 point touch screen? That's 3 users with all fingers and toes interacting with that screen. Plus an ET... Great stuff!!!

Are they all Intel IB inside? Or some are AMD A10? Cannot wait to see the benchmark scores of them.

Wow, Acer really has come a long way. Their products look infinitely better than offerings from HP and Dell.

Rotating the tablet 295 degrees allows it to be used in presentation mode.

295 degrees? Let's see if I can figure this out... if 0 degrees is landscape and I rotate it 90 degrees clockwise, that would be portrait. Now if I continue clockwise another 90 degrees (180 from 0), I will be at landscape again. Continue another 90 degrees clockwise (270 from 0) and I'm at portrait once again. So then from there I turn it another 25 degrees clockwise to get to presentation mode. Easy enough.
"But sir, can't I just turn it counter-clockwise 65 degrees to get the same effect?" "NO!! You must turn it 295 degrees clockwise, no more, no less."
295 degrees. Really????????

I've always thought Acer makes some cool stuff. It's just too bad every Acer computer I've seen has been buggy.
