Acer Iconia 6120 Dual Touchscreen Laptop Review

[jesuisbenjamin]

It's pretty cool. The only thing is that working with fingers, I intuitively don't want to 14 or even 17" but at least 30 (touch phones make me nuts for that reason).

[SuperBrieCheese]

Is there no CD/DVD drive?

[Ajaykasyap]

ACER is the worst LAPTOP among all laptops....

I am the user of ACER LAPTOP

I Know all about the quality and services.

The problems which i am facing i do not want others to face the same problems.

So if you are thinking to purchase a LAPTOP now or in future please DO NOT GO FOR BUYING ACER LAPTOP

this could be the future of all laptops

[daftpumkins]

did she say it was 11.99

[mnalls05]

can you use a stylus or pen if you need it for photoshop

[MobileTechReview]

@mnalls05 Not a digital pen, but you can use a capacitive stylus which isn't great for artwork and photoshop.

[JonBj2]

I don't think you have to pinch your fingers together to make the ring appear, I tried this laptop in a store and I only had to place my fingers onto the screen to get the ring, didn't move it at all.

[leesta92]

Its great,but i dnt like to rest my hand on my palms all day. Very futuristic I like that still needs more improvement.

[yuliz9youtuification]

No DVD drive?

[alexkkowalski]

@yuliz9youtuification no, DVD and CD drive are becoming out of date believe it or not! my car doesn't ever have a CD drive

[aliqas20]

if the laptop doesnt come with a pen to use can you buy one separately and use it on the laptop.

[faroeguy98]

can it chatting on facebook?.

[MobileTechReview]

@faroeguy98 Yes, it runs full Windows 7 and run any Windows apps.

[faroeguy98]

@MobileTechReview Thx :DD im gonna subscribe you channel :DD

[smokinpott]

Its not that expensive i got one in ebay for 600

[smokinpott]

its not that expensive i got one for 600 in an auction in ebay :)

[examinationboard]

You lost me at turbo powered i5 ddr dim 5400rpm ...

[mrsnickjonas890]

4,000 reals in Brazil.. and 1,0t00 in the US.. fuck being brazilian

[nightriders92]

@mrsnickjonas890 oh mahn dont say that

adirana lima, alessandro embrosio are frm brazil, u should be proud ehh

[321nevergiveup123]

HEY when your done with that can i have it.

[321nevergiveup123]

I AM TORTURING MY SELF LOOKING AT THIS BECAUSE I KNOW ITS EXPENSIVE

IF U AGREE THUMBS UP

[EvonyGeek]

@321nevergiveup123 It costs 900€ ... More like VERY CHEAP for dual screen laptop

[MrAdhiSuryana]

Dual screen s so interesting..

I am a medical student and now searching for best tablet out there, pls give me advise to choose..

BTW, can I open the browser at the screen, while typing on Ms OneNote at the bottom? thx

[ninga123if]

so its 12 pounds

[sheelotastic]

How does it handle multi tasking? is there any lag or delay?

[JennaHaze2000]

A click of a mouse is less abusive to my finger then tapping a touch screen or track pad.

Touch pads for long term use can hurt or damage you fingers more so then a mouse.

They need to make the touchpad more responcive to light touches.

[vithyea007]

How Long does the Battery Last ???

[Loretys94]

@vithyea007 about 2½ hours.. She says it about 4:00 (:

[peterpeterpeter101]

word of advise. its an Acer, stay well away. it will break and the support on Acer is Cr"p

[teambrowniee]

I Would Hate To Drop That... o_o

[GlitchVI]

awesome! a harder way to type

[Nayr907]

man i hate the touch screen keyboard, i wunder how it would be for the full size key board

[ipodfeak207]

y would u want 1 if u have an i pod lol :)

[midnightsteel]

that was a great review

[KeramatZMode]

Nintendo DS got trolled very hard this time.

[TnTMusic64]

-stay away from acers.

[dreadnought86]

dear Santa......



[AKCzech555]

Make one 17" with gaming computer specs.

[FlashGamesMaster]

@AKCzech555

For what? Playing COD on touchscreen is like listening to Justin Bieber while smoking low quality weed = disaster!

[eveque]

@AKCzech555 I was wishing the same thing

[CasinoCityHacker]

im getting 2 of them :)

[legalizeitbiches]

how would this work with hdmi? i hope there an easy way to just choose wich screen u want up there

[MobileTechReview]

@legalizeitbiches It mirrors the tablet on the TV. So what you see on the tablet is what you see on the big screen.

[MrZinkblink]

@mobiletechreview you speak Spanish?

[peterFans]

It is comes with anti-glare and anti finger print?

[MrZinkblink]

I wish apple had this

[MrZinkblink]

@Jorgeeeehhh I feel bad for you

[Zcasey1932]

it should have SSD and a larger battery, running 2 screens sucks up WAY to much power, this is just for show, graphic designers or video editors would use external monitors if they wanted more screen real estate, plus it would be to laggy, its just not a practical machine.

[Jorgeeeehhh]

Buy 2 Ipads, tape em together. BAM! Double touchscreen laptop

[Luminex009]

is the top screen brighter than the bottom one?

[MobileTechReview]

@Luminex009 They match in material, brightness and color. Check out our full review following the link in the video description, we covered this in it on MobileTechReview.

[Nayr907]

@Luminex009 maby it just seems like it cuz of the angle of the bottom screen

[Mskorlover]

this laptop is slow!! kinda driving me crazy. + its not sensitive enough. only my opinion

[nigahoga123]

does it have speakers?

[D4NI8L0]

@nigahoga123 no

[TheUbLOckEr]

thumbs up if u want one :P

[DavidBoy333]

If this has not been officially released in my place, how can I buy it then???

[animeware]

Ugly Laptop

[imsoraven06]

iLike This Product : ) Can You Download Things Like Movies , Video Games & Be Able To Play Video Games Like The Sims 3 ? Thanks **

[MobileTechReview]

@imsoraven06 Anything runs on Windows 7 can run on this.

[oStirFryo]

@MobileTec

[joncena1261]

@MobileTechReview would this be more of keep at home computer cuz of the battery life or could you take it places and not have the battery run out.

[MobileTechReview]

@joncena1261 The battery life is more like those big notebook batteries. It won't last you long on the road, about 2.5 hours on average use.

[oStirFryo]

@imsoraven06 lololololol

[wrathallll]

screen is blacker than wesley snipes, darknesses, charlie murphy

[Skyleon7]

Crush on that Skater guy on the advertisement. DAAAAAAAAMMMMMN!!!!!

[gt40f]

Who is the MORON that designed this laptop. When anybody who knows what they're doing...., TYPES BY TOUCH. If you can't feel the keys, you won't be able to type worth a damn.

[MrHayiyo]

que precio tiene en pesos? Me interesa esta laptop

[MrHayiyo]

Es compatible con los diferentes sistemas operativos?

[MobileTechReview]

@MrHayiyo No se. Windows 7 = si.

[mexx1kkan]

@MobileTechReview si es differente manda me mensage a mi pagina y te lo explico todo

[lsgraulau]

@MrHayiyo I you can get the drivers I'm sure you could run linux on it.

[mdfazal]

Fail viewing angle

[TheGrassyBatter2]

what if i only have 7 fingers?

[joncena1261]

@TheGrassyBatter2 then put your middle finger up

[AR24912404]

is there a cd player? please answer

[MobileTechReview]

@AR24912404 There's no CD drive.

[RetroRepair]

2 hours battery life and Apple prices will kill this which is a shame since it has huge potential to capture both laptop and ebook reader markets. Oh well.

[TarantinosNightmare]

i work with a lot of HD video, can it run video editing software like premiere pro? i know it probably wont run the newest version, but how about the older ones?

[MobileTechReview]

@TarantinosNightmare If the software can run on Intel Core CPU with Intel HD graphics, then it can run on this. This is a full Core CPU machine.

[mharris7190]

This looks really good except for the deal breaker: 2 HOURS OF BATTERY!! WTF.... get a bigger friggin battery.

[ELEMENT6065]

Geeks are takin over the world!

[ludtke337]

this is so friggin pimp! imagine having this in class

[broadcaster6]

Can I access BIOS and/or Advance Boot Option ???

I know acer would have though about it but the video is missing that.. all in all awesome video and over all a good product.

[BiancaVigo]

@MobileTechReview Hi! I'm very interested in Acer Iconia-6120. But I live in Brazil and here we have a different keyboard, with differents accents and letters, like ã and ç. Soo I would like to know if there is a way to put theses letters in the keyboard of this notebook or if it comes with it.

[MobileTechReview]

@BiancaVigo Language support comes in the OS. The on-screen keyboard will reflect and respect the OS language versions.

[lifeboy1122]

is the computer good for gaming like most acer computers?

[GeniusTech101]

GETTING THIS [:

[pinangjawa]

While u're watching movie and replying to the messages on twitter, how are u going to type? We can use external keyboard isn't it?

[DeeManSony]

Was it a male or a female reviewing? Anyway graphics is a bit lame, no built in Bluetooth, a technological crime? I tapped up a 2 star I feel the google laptop when released or the raZer would be better!

[PolarBearsRcool]

The only thing putting me off is the shoddy graphics unit.

I'd love to see more laptops like this in the future, though.

[TheLukeB101]

Hi could anyone tell me what the windows perfomance information ratings are for this laptop?

thanks

[MobileTechReview]

@TheLukeB101 We have full benchmark info and the Windows Index numbers in our full written review. The link is in the video description.

[soulscammer]

Hey, great review :)

i went to the shop today to see and test it myself and I'm quite satisfied with the experience of using it for that brief moment. The typing needs some getting used to though, especially when I intend to use it as a secondary computer to program on.

Oh and you said in the beginning of your review that it doesn't have Bluetooth, but it was listed in the specs in the shop. The seller didn't confirm though.

[onclouds08]

How would I go about installing more DDR3 memory??

[smalltownrudeboy]

would I be capable of turning so that I have two vertical screens and use my own mouse and keyboard for more serious sessions? is there any type of accelerometer built in?

[matzklim]

Nintendo DS XXL. I wanted to buy this, but i couldn't afford it and i had a macbook air already...

[chocokue]

purete cañon borom bom bom

[Christusolus]

I wish retail stores had this and the asus version so I can compare them myself.

[PlayRap00GamesSongs]

first : no pinching required to open the ring just place ur five fingers and thats it

second : how can i play a game and still open that social network thing

[iSh4tterU]

Imagine if Apple made one of these, Dual iPads with better hardware :D

[whatzituya55]

i watched a review by cnet and dan ackerman just held his 5 fingers on the bottom screen and the wheel popped up; no pinching necessary ;D

[jimmy85819]

great review but can i change the os to linux still let the touch screens work ?

[GeniusTech101]

Very Detailed Review ! Keep It Up !

[justiceteenjustine]

Hi MobileTechReview, if I were to photoshop something, could I use a stylus to edit and draw?

[MobileTechReview]

@justiceteenjustine The capacitive touchscreen doesn't have Wacom or EMR pen support. You can try capacitive pens, but they are less accurate for drawing. We cover this in our full written review, follow the link in the video description.

[jarvis1st]

great review could it use a usb keyboard or mouse when its in dual touch screen mode?

[MobileTechReview]

@jarvis1st Yes, you sure can.

[buttfacerob]

that second screen must eat battery

[fuckdatube]

Its a nice looking piece of machinery! How could they not include twitter, linked in etc. and can u add them to the bottom screen? I think it would have been better if you could use a pen on it for drawing. I dont mind no cd. as who needs one these days. I agree with the guy saying the second screen is a novelty, although browsing would be cool. Cant wait to see whats around in another few years!

[jamradplayer]

i love this laptop but i feel that people are really trying to show off the software with the second screen. We all need to be honest that after playing around with it for a few days or a week the keyboard will just stay up and you will hardly use the second screen (may only use it if you are watching a movie etc) And why are we complaining about the battery life. Our laptops are normally plugged in 24/7 any ways. This is a great laptop and i will defo be buying it when it comes out!!!!!

[hjkentproductions]

No disk drive, no bluetooth, no buying.

[kishan24719921]

does this laptop lag in its working?

[MegaSohail2009]

it ia very good review ........ i liked it ... but can i use a portable optical drive in it to run cd....

[MobileTechReview]

@MegaSohail2009 You can use an optical drive via USB.

[jt21boys]

does any one else feel the down to most devices is battery life or a high price

[veryfewpsdtutorials]

@jt21boys deffinatly! i agree with you fully, my old laptop and my friends cant even run without the chargers, just one of the many reasons i switched to a desktop pc and price is a bummer to wish i could afford this laptop/tablet now!!!!

[brokindreamz]

Looks fragile....

[ahmedmoon11]

no place to enter a cd ?? that kinda sucks

[hero123213xdzero]

is it just me? or does a virtual touch pad on a full touch screen device sound a lil redundant...

[ervinriel]

The Mother of Multi-Tasking! I love this notebook

[TandTProject]

these company make these laptops for like 100$ + plus slave pay for the kids.

[dkkdkkc2]

nice looking....but seems fragile enough for my twisted hands to handle.....nah..staying with the old school type of devices seems better..TQ

[mythcat]

I want this with Linux inside :)

[highdunk5522]

can you run office on it

[cknj3746]

@highdunk5522 ...what kind of question is that?

[erosaffinity115]

If they can improve the battery life and add bluetooth and use the sandy bridge intel. I'll probably buy it.. I 'll just have to upgrade the hdd to ssd.. Hopefully the next generation will have this features..

[minedapie]

Dear santa...

[WAQAS119]

No optical drive???????

[e510021]

It's a "cool" laptop, but useless

[DrBoydTX]

...Apparently Apple has put in a patent application for this exact idea.

[cknj3746]

@DrBoydTX any detail on the patent number or a link to the Google patents plz? just curious :)

[ADVladimir]

typing on a touchscreen for 1k$+ ? no thx

[SolarPhoenix61]

LOL, seriously why would anyone need a virtual trackpad when u already have a touchscreen?, they can just set up some finger combination for left and right click.

A really interesting one from acer, I actually might give it a try if i can find one on sale or some discount

[Alpha2261]

@SolarPhoenix61 the only reason i can think of for the virtual trackpad is for the vga and hdmi ports

[sk8rjoecool]

Great review. really helped a lot. i just have a few questions.

1) would this be a good computer for college classes.

and 2) is there a battery that you can buy to have a better battery life

thanks

[MrVercettti]

Windows 8 wil KIK ASS ON THIS WOOOOOOOOOO

[MrVercettti]

Windows will be AWSOME ON THIS

[GozersApprentice]

its a matter of time before Apple make their version of this... i can't wait :)

[cknj3746]

@GozersApprentice yeah, at their rate of recreating the state of the art technology, only about 5-10 years! ;)

[xtremity187]

6 lbs and 2 hours of lifetime ???? hahahaha

wow, I'll be honest I was very much into this when it was first announced..but wow..6lbs and 2 hours of battery life..might as well get a desktop and a large HD screen..

come on acer..this isn't 2005...

[cknj3746]

@xtremity187 its true, almost ALL the hardware seems to be based around components that would only seem impressive say, 2-3 years ago. But the concept still seems fairly interesting, and id say, worth a go! :)

[bmanschaaf]

you should do reviews in a dimmer room

[Jovijov]

What? Acer making moves

[mrfuzzer1]

This would be brilliant for watching movies while browsing on the go, but for the poor battery life.

[llFLYFFBLADEll]

This is great laptop for people who like touch screen :P

[cuntquistador32]

Ha dangle

[Daumex]

No need to squeeze 5 fingers, you just need to touch the screen with 5 fingers, even the hint in the gesture list says so...

[squidheaven]

dual touch cool

[roy20050]

great review cant wait to see more reviews

[roy20050]

man i want this but as a college student its out of reach :(

[Venom7X]

Awesome review! You just got a new subscriber.

[bajacapt]

Nice review, thanks! Looks like this dual touch monitors laptop would be very nice to watch pictures, yet it looks like there is no sd card reader?

[MobileTechReview]

@bajacapt It comes with a dangle as an external SD/MMC/Memory Stick reader.

[lionofrain]

can one connect an external keyboard to it?

[TheMillinman]

social jogger... facebook, youtube and flicker, youflickface!

[Udaysuryan]

love the way u cover all the areas and provide information in detail .your review is one of the best reviews i have seen by far . thank you lisa .

[chrislaney]

CAN IT PLAY MINECRAFT!!!!

[GLAMOURSK1LLS]

im considered rich by alot of my friends, but if 1199.00 is affordable for a laptop then im fuckin broke, id rather a mac book, i even have a really good laptop, i have the latest sony vaio, i have and ipad 2 3 xbox 360s a ps3 and 4 ipods, and 42 inch tv in my room and stuff, but 1199.00 is not affordable ha

[1will2000will1]

im going to buy one of those laptops

[MobileTechReview]

MTR

[AlTheMusicMan]

Just bought one!!!! It should be here in a week!!!!

[2isTheNew1]

Dear God, if i could have this laptop i would like be good forever! promise!!!

[allbond2007]

Would be interesting to get a much longer battery life on this really cool device !!!! Probably having an ARM CPU might help.

[LIFEYANGU]

Beautiful Machine. Too bad it ain't for serious Gamers like me.

[thepacman24]

i like to see apple fruitcakes think it Apple is the shit when its not, where there was duel core there was apple trying to keep up, it would be safe to say if apple made a laptop like this every apple fruitcake would be all over it...Microsoft acer windows levono hp toshiba is where its @.

[twiztidsidfreak13]

wow thats very interesting look. i dont know if i could use one of those. a physical keyboard is really hard to move away from. i need to feel the keys to type. very cool tho.

[MrSkintan]

it looks like a flat piece of rock

[Machher786]

Its "cool" to have 2 multi touch keyboards.. but im more eager to see the apps and further applications of this technology!
