Acer is gearing up to launch their latest 10-point multi-touch monitor, the T272HUL. Adopting an IPS panel, this new 27-inch LED-backlight monitor (Windows 8 certified) provides 2560 x 1440 WQHD resolution, 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time and 178/178 degree viewing angles, and features D-Sub, DVI and HDMI connectors, and a USB 3.0 hub (1 up, 2 down). The T272HUL will go on sale from late August for $999. [Acer]
Welcome to Engadget’s back to school guide! Today, we’ve got a wide array of laptop recommendations. Head to the back to school hub to see the rest of the product guides as we add them throughout the month. Be sure to keep checking back; in early September, we’ll be giving away a ton of gear.
If you were expecting us to recommend a MacBook Air or a Samsung ATIV Book 9, we’ll kindly refer you to our back to school Ultrabook buying guide. But while an ultraportable will suffice for web surfing, Netflixing and the occasional all-nighter, some students will still crave a little more. A little extra storage space, perhaps, or a discrete GPU to pull off smoother gaming. Or maybe y’all just want something cheaper than your standard Ultrabook. No shame in that either. Whatever it is, we’ve got a handful of choices for each budget.

As important as it is to purchase a computer that is able to keep up the the sort of tasks you expect to carry out on the machine, it’s nearly equally important to also purchase a monitor that can make you cry with joy each and every time you use it. If you haven’t teared up looking at your monitor, you’re about to as Acer has just announced a number of high-resolution LED display. (more…)

As much as we lust after 4K monitors, we need all that cash for, you know, boring stuff like rent and food. For now, we’ll make do with screens that are a little lighter on the wallet, and today Acer has announced three new LED offerings for Joes and pros alike. First up is the T272HUL 27-inch multitouch monitor aimed at consumers, with a WQHD panel (2,560 x 1,440 resolution), 5ms response time and various inputs including old-school VGA. Arriving in late August, the T272HUL is expected to retail at around $999. Another 27-inch model, the B276HUL, drops touch support but sports the same WQHD res, a 6ms response time and a DisplayPort input among several others.
Intended more for pros, the 29-inch B296CL rocks a widescreen 2,560 x 1080 resolution, 8ms response time and the same connectivity credentials as the B276HUL. Both non-touch models are on sale now for around $599. In case you were wondering, all three displays have 178-degree viewing angles both horizontally and vertically — because if you’re not looking almost entirely at bezel, you’re doing it wrong. PR after the break.

The Acer T272HUL Ultra-High Resolution Display is one of three new such IPS LCD monitors hitting the market this year, each of them working with well-above-average high-definition collections of pixels up front. Each of the three works with either a 27 or 29-inch panel and the whole lot sees 178 degree viewing angles both vertically […]
Laptops are at a point right now where they should all be more or less excellent. Ultrabooks are into their third year of relevance, and the screens and processors that are widely available are good enough that you can piecemeal together a perfectly acceptable laptop from chaff, more or less. So making a great one is about decisions. The Acer Aspire S7 made a bunch of good ones, against just a few dumb ones. And the result puts it in the vanguard of what’s shaping up to be a belated PC renaissance.

You might say the day is never really done in consumer technology news. Your workday, however, hopefully draws to a close at some point. This is the Daily Roundup on Engadget, a quick peek back at the top headlines for the past 24 hours — all handpicked by the editors here at the site. Click on through the break, and enjoy.
Granted, it’s not the most exciting of handset announcements, but if you can’t face yet another day without a budget Android smartphone packing dual loudspeakers, Three’s got the Acer Liquid E2 for ya. It’s available now on PAYG for £150 (around $232), or on contracts starting at £17 ($26ish) per month if you sign up for a two-year plan. If the overwhelming power of the Liquid E2 makes you nervous, you could always hold off for the lower-end LG Optimus L1 II, which will be launching on the network “soon.”

It wasn’t easy writing a conclusion (much less a headline) for our original Acer Aspire S7-391 review. The company’s third Ultrabook was near-perfect, with a stunning full HD display, exceptionally fast performance, an extra-light chassis and one of the most sophisticated designs we’d seen on any Acer machine, ever. Even so, the battery could barely last past the four-hour mark — a poor showing, even compared to other machines on the market. Plus, the fan noise was some of the loudest we’d heard, so you couldn’t enjoy that blazing SSD without a good deal of distraction. We ultimately recommended it, but with a sigh. This wasn’t the Ultrabook we thought it would be.
Fortunately for us, we no longer have to hem and haw over whether to recommend an exquisite laptop with worst-in-class battery life: Acer recently released an update to the S7, aptly called the S7-392. Available with a 13-inch screen (the 11-inch version has been discontinued), it arrives with Haswell processors, a larger battery and the promise of seven-hour runtime. Additionally, Acer retooled its cooling setup so that the fans supposedly operate much more quietly. Otherwise, it’s the same laptop: same keyboard, same thin and light design, same 1080p screen. So can we crown it a winner now?

In June, Acer‘s Aspire S7 Ultrabook reboot was unveiled, bringing with it fourth-generation Intel Core processors and some other new features. At the time, Acer stated the laptops would be shipping out in the third quarter of this year, with pricing and some additional details surfacing around the same time. Such was the case this […]
