The Acer Aspire P3 - 171-6820 is a cleverly designed hybrid / convertible tablet featuring a ten - point touch screen , an ultra - low voltage Core i5 processor , a Bluetooth keyboard case , and a 120GB solid state drive . The keyboard is handy for those times when you do just a keyboard , but it does not do a very good job of supporting the tablet and it has touchpad . Priced at just under $ 900 ( list ) it is relatively affordable hybrid as far away, but it can not match the performance of such pinepresyuhan hybrids , including our current Editors ' Choice , the Microsoft Surface Windows 8 Pro .
P3 - 171-6820 is packaged in a sleek brushed silver aluminum chassis that weighs 1.7 pounds and measures 11.6 -by - 7.5 -by - 0.04 inches ( HWD ) . A micro - HDMI port and a full - size space share USB 3.0 port on the left side of the tablet with a microphone , left button , and the power jack . On the right side is a headphone / speaker jack , the power button , a battery status indicator , and a volume key . There are already two vents on top , a rear - facing five - megapixel camera on the back , and an embedded at the top of the screen 720p HD camera .
There are two small speakers embedded in the bottom of the tablet . Along with Dolby Home Theater software to bring them to a much bigger sound than the size would indicate , though bass response does not exist . Missing is a slot card reader .
The 11.6 - inch glossy screen has a maximum resolution of 1366 -by - 768 , which is disappointing as it may not show the video in full ( 1080p ) high - definition such as Microsoft Surface Pro and Pro 700T Samsung Ativ SmartPC ( XE700T1C - A01US ) . However , it does a good job with 720p content , sending rich colors , sharp images , and good viewing angles . Screen using 10 - point touch technology , providing effortless and precise swiping , gesturing , pinching and zooming .
Unlike Sony VAIO Duo 11 ( D11213CX ) and Samsung 700T , P3 aspire keyboard is separate and stay that way as it uses Bluetooth technology to communicate with the tablet . Simply snap the tablet keyboard case , press the power button on the top side of the keyboard deck , slide the screen into the groove at the top of the keyboard , and you're ready to type . Beware , though : the tablet will not sit too tight in the groove and can be knocked loose with a slight pressure on the top of the screen .
Typing is pretty comfortable but with large hands may feel a bit cramped . There is no room for a touchpad here either , but there is a mini - USB port on the top left side . The black textured case adds keyboard 0.78 - inch overall thickness of P3 - 171-6820 and 1:32 - pounds to the overall weight .
The 120GB drive is loaded with Windows 8 and the usual assortment of apps including Skype , Amazon Kindle , Netflix , and trail versions of MS Office and McAfee Internet Security Suite . There is also eShopping , eReading , and iCookbook programs , as well as software and Nero Backitup Acer Cloud .
Rounding out the feature set is Wi - Fi a / b / a / and Bluetooth 4.0 radio , mini - USB to full - sized USB adapter ( for use with the keyboard ) , and a micro - HDMI to VGA video dongle . Acer P3 covered with a standard one- year warranty .
