French Get Acer Aspire 1420P Budget Tablet, We're Still Waiting
Acer's gone and released an 11.-6-inch touchscreen convertible laptop that's currently being test driven in France. It's called the Aspire 1420P, and underneath the hood sits a dual-core Intel Celeron SU2300 CULV processor rather than an Atom chip. What that means is despite its size, typical netbook-esque speed limits don't apply,
Other vitals include Intel's integrated GMA 4500MHD graphics, 3GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an SD card reader, HDMI and VGA ports, and Windows 7 Home Premium. The tablet also comes equipped with a 6-cell battery Acer claims will provide between 6 and 8 hours of juice.
At least one French retailer is selling the unit for about $690, which seems a little on the high side. Should the 1420P make its way to the States, we suspect the price will be a bit lower.
