Acer isn’t only offering a new notebook hybrid with its Aspire R7, but they’re also going to be releasing a new ultra-convertible ultrabook with its Aspire P3 which features an Intel Core i3 or i5 processor and an IPS display. Acer is calling this an ultrabook, but after spending time with it, it feels more like a high-powered tablet with a bluetooth keyboard attached to it.
One of the first things you’ll notice when you check out the Aspire P3 is how many uses you can get out of the device. You can use it as an ultrabook, then use it as a tablet to also be able to get rid of its keyboard and use it as a slate. How you’ll use it will depend on what exactly you need the Aspire P3 for at the moment and it’s good to see Acer didn’t skimp on a lower-end processor for this device.

Acer teased a “unique noteook” in a Star Trek trailer a few weeks ago, and earlier this morning, the company held a press event in New York City to unveil what they consider to be a unique notebook. We believed what Acer could be unveiling today could be a laptop / tablet hybrid, such as the HP Envy X2 or similar devices, and it looks as though that’s exactly what they had prepared to unveil today, but they had a bit more to show than just a simple laptop / tablet hybrid machine.
One of the first products Acer showed off this morning was the Acer Aspire R7, which is a Windows 8 notebook that features a 15.6-inch screen which is mounted on an ezel hinge that allows the user to adjust the screen to whatever angle is most comfortable for them. The screen is also flippable, which makes it possible for you to share the R7’s screen with someone sitting across from you, or even lay the screen flat in order to collaborate with someone else. Acer has re-imagined the layout of its R7’s keyboard / trackpad by moving the keyboard forward and having the trackpad closer to the screen. The Acer Aspire R7 is expected to be released on May 14 exclusively at Best Buy.

Now here we are with yet another rumor swirling around, this time round it would be a tablet that hails from computer manufacturer Acer. So far, Acer already has introduced their fair share of Windows 8 powered tablets to the general masses, where among them include the Acer Iconia W510 tablet that will be powered by an Intel Atom Clover Trail processor, in addition to the higher-end Iconia W700 that sports a Core i5 processor and 1080p display. Well, here is the Acer Aspire P3 that has been touted by some to be the next generation Windows 8 tablet, according to Hungarian site Tech2.hu at least.
I understand that the name change from Iconia to the Aspire brand does point towards the very real possibility of the line between the tablet and notebook market being blurred. Rumored specifications of the Acer Aspire P3 include an 11.6” display at 1600 x 900 resolution, an Intel Ivy Bridge processor, and a choice of internal memory options that range from 32GB all the way to 128GB.
