With Microsoft’s platform powering these devices, Filipinos can benefit from an environment that they trust and know best, with an enhanced and enjoyable computing experience allowing users to get more things done.

“It is our pleasure to be partnering with Microsoft in providing users with the ultimate computing experience with our new Iconia products running on Windows 7,” said Manuel Wong, General Manager, Acer Philippines. “With Windows 7 on Acer devices, users are given more control over how they want to work and the assurance that the data they consume is backed by a reliable operating system.”
The Acer ICONIA - 484G64ns is equipped with a dual multi-touch display which is made from the ultra-thin, extremely durable and scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass and has accurate multi-point touch detection and palm-contact rejection for optimized on-screen input. It is also equipped with the Acer Ring Control Interface, and comes with the Gesture Editor to let users customize touch gestures to launch specific applications and other actions.
On the other hand, the Acer Iconia Tab W500 features a hybrid design, which offers the perfect HD multi-touch slate portability, and the full productivity of a standard notebook via a dockable keyboard. It is a handy multi-touch slate at about 1kg light with a 10.1-inch HD LED-backlit LCD display, which makes it easy to fit into any backpack.

It works with majority of existing enterprise applications with no added workarounds, can be managed centrally and is equipped with encryption and security features.
