I hope this sees the light of day quickly. The state of the small tablet market is kind of abysmal.
This sounds pretty good. I’m in the market for a small tablet. The HP 2730p looks good but is very pricey. The HP TX2 has had pretty average reviews, and feels rather flimsy. If the Acer build is decent and the price point appealing, I’d go for it in a flash. Windows 7 Home Premium, too – very nice!
I own this PC and it is amazing. It was given to every attendee at PDC2009 this year.
