The display itself will also pack a 2MP Full HD webcam that can rotate up to 180 degrees and built-in speakers. Under the hood, users can look forward to an Intel Core i3 processor and will support up to 16GB of dual-channel DDR3 memory and integrated Intel HD 4400 graphics.

Is the demand for the PC starting to slip in the face of smartphones, tablets, and Chromebooks as viable alternatives? Well it would seem so because according to a recent report from the IDC, they have reported that worldwide PC shipments totaled 73.4 million units in the first quarter of 2014. This is actually a 4.4% decline year-on-year which does not bode well for PC manufacturer.
However it seems that despite PC shipments starting to slip, IDC has found that Lenovo is still maintaining their number one position in worldwide PC shipments with shipments in Q1 totalling 12.9 million. They are followed by HP who are pretty close at 12.55 million, followed by Dell which is a pretty distant third at 9.8 million. Acer and ASUS also made the list at fourth and fifth place respectively but it seems even their combined might does not even reach Lenovo’s numbers. (more…)

Wearable technology is definitely a big thing and it has only been growing. In fact this year we’ve seen efforts from LG, Samsung, Motorola, and Sony and we’re still pretty early in the year. What this means is that it is possible that there could be more wearable devices that we’ve yet to see and it’s possible that Acer could be next.
According to recent invites that Acer has handed out, the company will be hosting an event on the 29th of April in New York City. Unfortunately the invite does not mention what Acer could be unveiling, but it does come with a tagline that reads, “Touch, More Connected” which some have taken to mean that Acer could be using that event to unveil new wearables.

Android-powered tablets are dime a dozen in the market these days, and there should be a model to suit just about every single need and taste. The thing is, which particular model should you decide to purchase when the time comes?

The $130 Iconia B1-720 was in January earlier this year, and there is a new Acer Iconia One 7 model that is well on its way after passing the rigors of the FCC this week.
