Acer inclui uma tela multitouch no seu novo Aspire 5738PG de US$ 800

Você não saberia só de olhar para ele, mas este é o novo notebook multitouch da Acer. Mais ou menos da mesma forma que a Lenovo com seus T400s, a Acer simplesmente incluiu uma tela multitoque em um modelo já existente.

Além de um nome de modelo grande pra cacete, o Aspire AS5738PG tem uma tela de toque capacitiva de 15.6 polegadas. No entanto, diferente do TouchSmart da HP e do SimpleTap da Lenovo, a Acer não incluiu nenhum tipo de interface própria otimizada para o toque. Mesmo assim, você será capaz de realizar gestos tradicionais, como zoom e scroll com dois dedos.

Por 800 dólares, você também leva umas specs bacanas. Processador Intel Core 2 Duo, gráficos ATI Radeon HD 4570, 4GB de RAM, 320GB de disco e Windows 7 Premium de 64 bits. Já que o multitouch não faz grande diferença no preço, talvez valha a pena comprar um desses sem pensar nisso. Você fatalmente vai esquecer que pode tocar na tela em pouco tempo, mesmo. [Acer]

Launching with Windows 7, the new Aspire AS5738PG Multi-touch screen Notebook Delivers Incredible New Functionality, High-Performance Features, and Mobile Entertainment

?Customers will experience an incredible level of flexibility and control in the multi-touch screen interface, as it frees them to interact with their digital world a way that is familiar yet also new and exciting,? said Ray Sawall, senior manager of product marketing for Acer America. ?The Acer Aspire 5738PG?s multi-touch experience takes advantage of the many new support in Windows 7 and provides incredibly powerful first-rate technology such as ATI Mobility Radeon graphics and Intel Core 2 Duo processor.?

Sawall continued, ?Until now, touch notebooks have been limited in capabilities, which is something that?s changed with multi-touch screen capabilities. And while touch-screen models used to be out of the price range of most consumers, we?ve dramatically reduced the price premium associated with the new Acer Aspire 5738PG, so it?s more affordable to a wider range of customers.?

Impressive Mobile Theater Entertainment
More than the sum of its touch points, the Acer Aspire 5738PG notebook combines first-rate technologies that deliver excellent performance for mobile theater entertainment and mainstream games.

The display was designed to provide an extraordinary cinematic experience that is immersive and incredibly realistic. The vibrant HD display is a 16:9 widescreen size that?s ideal for enjoying movies and online entertainment. Plus, it?s LED-backlit, which reduces energy usage and along with the 1366×768-resolution, contributes to the display?s crisp clear visuals. As a result, it?s ideal for enjoying HD movies and touch-control is remarkably precise.

Complementing the HD display, the system?s Intel Core 2 Duo processor provides the horsepower to drive demanding applications flawlessly, while the high-definition ATI Mobility Radeon? HD 4570 Graphics with 512MB Dedicated DDR3 VRAM graphics enhance imagery with vivid color and crisp detail.

Hardware and Design Enhances the Touch Experience
