Acer Aspire 1820PT Hits US

Acer Shows Off 1820PT Laptop-Tablet Convertable, Packs Core 2 Duo

Aspire-1820

Acer’s Aspire 1820PT, which previously was released only in Australia, features a laptop-tablet convertible design with an ample touchscreen. Americans are getting a Christmas surprise as Acer is apparently planning to bring the device to American shores as it appeared on their US website.

The Aspire 1820PT packs a 11″ touchscreen display that can fold into a tablet-style form factor. It comes with a Intel Core 2 Duo (no clockspeed released), 4GB of DDR3, a 160GB hard drive, integrated video, a built-in webcam and Windows 7. As you can see, for something that is on the verge of being a netbook/tablet, it’s pretty powerful.

Acer released the Aspire 1820 in Australia last month, but here’s the interesting part. The laptop appeared on Acer’s American website, but with no price, date or any other further mention of when it’s going to be shipped to the States.

      I wanted a laptop with power for strenuous tasks like video/photo editing, graphics work, and playing games like Civilization V, Team Fortress 2, etc. At the same time, I wanted a computer light and small enough to toss in my backpack and take around to class all day without having to bring the charger.
