Acer recently announced its new C200 with a 12.1" screen.
This innovatively-designed Tablet PC was released in the United
States late in 2005. We have some exclusive photos from the
prototype first seen at WinHec. To see a larger image, please click on any photo below. Acer C200
The Acer® TravelMate® C200 is
an all-new series of convertible tablets with a patented sliding-track
mechanism that allows you to move between notebook and tablet modes in
one smooth motion. You can choose a model that includes fingerprint
security and two batteries, yet even with both batteries and the
removable optical drive installed, weighs just 5.7 pounds. TravelMate C300 The first convertible Tablet PC with a 14.1" display, the TravelMate® C300 also gives you a full-size keyboard, on-screen centralized controls and the benefits of Intel® Centrino[TM] mobile technology. A no-compromises solution, the TravelMate C300 bridges the functionality gap, bringing the portability and intuitiveness of a tablet together with the broader connectivity and flexibility of a notebook.
The features listed below are part of the standard configurations. Upgrades and custom configurations are available in many cases. If you're looking for information on the Acer C110 series, please click here.
The Acer® TravelMate® C300 is the convertible Tablet that
you'll want to use as your primary computer. With a big 14.1" XGA
display—a first for a Tablet PC—full-size keyboard and internal, modular
optical drive, it's similar to the standard notebook you're probably
using now. |

The integrated light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness to
one of four default settings based on available ambient light, or you
can easily choose your own setting. This is done via hotkeys in notebook
mode or by using the Acer Soft Button in Tablet mode. The on-screen Soft Button feature gives you easy, centralized access to applications, wireless and modem connections, volume control and screen orientation. If convertible Tablet PCs have intrigued you but you've been put off by their size, you owe it to yourself to consider the Acer TravelMate C300. |

TravelMate 250PE
The Next Step in Pen-Enabled Computing  As
you're typing away on your notebook computer, have you ever wished that you
could add a few comments to the text—in "ink" and in your own handwriting?
Now you can with the innovative TravelMate® 250PE from Acer®.The TravelMate 250PE represents a new way to take advantage of pen-enabled computing because it lets you effortlessly switch from typing to writing and back again. Input data in the usual way, by typing on the keyboard, or by writing directly on the display with the EMR (electromagnetic resonance) pen. The Tablet Input Panel Support (TIPS) on the back of the screen allows you to adjust the big 14.1" LCD to the most comfortable writing angle. The TravelMate 250PE's operating system, Microsoft® Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition, includes "inking" capabilities. So, should you install Microsoft XP Office, you'll be able to hand write text in Word and other familiar applications. Productivity Tool The TravelMate 250PE is an outstanding productivity tool for those who must review or edit documents. If you're an educator, instead of collecting stacks of papers and toting them to your office or home, have your students e-mail their work to you. Then simply open the documents on the Acer TravelMate 250PE and write in corrections and comments. You can even have your jottings converted into typewritten text as you write. When you're finished, e-mail the papers back to each student via any one of the integrated connectivity tools—802.11b wireless LAN, 10/100 LAN or V.92 modem. What could be easier for you and your students? Ultimate Whiteboard The Acer TravelMate 250PE is just as useful to salespeople, business professionals or, in fact, anyone whose work involves creating and delivering compelling presentations. Simply connect the notebook to a projector and open your PowerPoint® document. As you move from slide to slide, grab the audience's attention by circling or underlining key points as you would on a whiteboard. You make your marks, though, on the TravelMate 250PE display, and the audience sees them via the projector. All-in-One Convenience The TravelMate 250PE delivers optimum all-in-one convenience with its built-in diskette drive plus a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive that you can use to burn your own CDs. You get a full complement of ports, including four USB 2.0, for connecting to a printer, external monitor or your choice of other peripherals. The RJ-45 and RJ-11 connectors on the TravelMate 250PE support, respectively, the integrated 10/100 LAN and V.92 data/fax modem. The 802.11b wireless LAN rounds out the communications tools that come with the notebook.

Box 6137, Temple, TX 76503. TFT displays commonly exhibit a small number of discolored dots, so-called "nonconforming pixels." This phenomenon is a limitation of TFT LCD technology, not a product defect and, as such, is not covered by the limited warranty or by the upgrade programs. 8 Valid only in countries where Acer has an authorized repair facility.
