Acer Showcases Latest Products at Computex 2015 in Taipei
Acer will showcase refreshes across its comprehensive line of 1- to 100- inch devices at Computex Taipei, alongside the latest products announced at the next@acer global press conference held in New York last month. Visitors will discover solutions that enable people to work smarter, have more fun, stay in touch, and be more efficient than ever, at Acer’s booth #M0810, 4th floor, TWTC Nangang Exhibition Hall.
In addition, Acer will demonstrate latest developments of its growing Build Your Own Cloud (BYOC™) ecosystem and give visitors the opportunity to preview client-side devices as part of the abPBX plus communication solution for enterprises.
New Windows-based Products Supported by Acer for the Free Upgrade to Windows 10
Acer will launch new Windows notebook and desktop PCs this year at Computex, with the Aspire Switch 11 V 2-in-1 notebook, as well as new Aspire Z Series all-in-one PCs including the 23.8-inch touch-enabled Aspire Z3-710 and 19.5-inch Aspire ZC-700 – both featuring Full HD LED backlit displays. All models ship with Windows 8.1 and are supported by Acer for the free upgrade to Windows 10 when it becomes available later this summer.
The Red Dot award-winning Aspire Switch 11 V 2-in-1 notebooks feature the powerful yet low energy consuming Intel® Core™ M processors under its stylish aluminum cover, allowing up to 8 hours of battery life for professionals on the go. The latch-less “Acer Snap Hinge 2” with magnet design and guiding plane provides an effortless transition experience between the notebook, pad, tent, and display modes, while elevating the keyboard for comfortable typing and lowering the center of gravity to increase stability.
The Aspire Switch 11 V’s Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3-protected 11.6-inch Full HD panel features Zero Air Gap and IPS technology for crisp and clear images with a wide viewing angle. Acer VisionCare™ provides extra care for the users’ eyes, while built-in dual front-facing speakers enhanced by Acer TrueHarmony and Dolby® Digital Plus Home Theater™ technology make it ideal for both work and play. A new 10-inch model featuring the recently launched Intel® Atom™ x5 processor will be announced later this year.
Latest Android Devices Ship with Android Lollipop Sweetness
Acer will also debut two new Android tablets with screen sizes of 8 and 7 inches. The new Iconia One 8 Series features the best-in-class touch and writing experience with Acer Precision Plus technology supporting control with writing instruments as fine as a pencil. The Iconia One 8 (B1-830) ships with the latest version of Android 5.1 Lollipop, and together with a powerful MediaTek octa-core processor, delivers a high-performance web browsing, gaming, and video playing experience. This addition to the Iconia One 8 family provides an alternative to the previously announced Iconia One 8 (B1-820) with an Intel quad-core processor.
The new 7-inch Iconia One 7 (B1-760HD) features a HD IPS display with wide viewing angles, a textile-patterned back cover that comes in a variety of fashionable colors, and is pre-loaded with the Acer Iconia Suite that offers intuitive ways to simplify tasks with touch gestures and quick access icons.
The Speed and Security of Chrome OS with a Tiny Footprint
Chrome OS devices have been well received by schools and businesses for their speed and security as the OS is constantly updated from the cloud with built-in Google virus protection. At the upcoming Computex Taipei, Acer will announce the successor of its petite Chrome OS desktop, the Chromebox CXI2, refreshed with Intel® Core™ i3 and Celeron® processors, Intel® HD Graphics, 16GB SSD, a maximum of 8GB dual-channel DDR3 1600MHz memory, and speedy 802.11ac wireless and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, delivering performance to meet even the most demanding Chrome OS needs. Business users will appreciate it being Citrix® Ready™ out of the box for desktop virtualization applications, with the TPM 1.2 secure cryptoprocessor and Kensington lock slot providing security inside-and-out.

For the first time, Acer will publicly display the full abPBX plus communications solution, a BYOC-based multimedia private branch exchange system addressing the needs of enterprises with a series of cost reducing and performance enhancing solutions that improve flexibility and lessen communication barriers.
In addition to the previously revealed abTouchphone desktop client with intuitive touch operations, large display and real-time news and announcement relay that operates on the abPBX plus network, a new abConsole switchboard client for operators and mobile device clients will be showcased, allowing flexible deployment options in the enterprise environment.
For homes, individuals and other work environments, Acer will demonstrate the aBeing One, a development platform for IoT applications for smart living and working as well as an experimental platform for alliance members.
