With Acer Aspire P3-171-6820, the focus is on ultimate versatility. Whether you simply want a tablet with a touchscreen only or a thin ultrabook with the features of a high class laptop, it will satisfy your computing needs at work, home or school.. This is a hybrid machine, so remember that when you are evaluating the specs and features of this beautiful machine that is now at quite an affordable price on Amazon.

It comes with an Ivy Bridge i5-3339Y processor with Turbo Boost Technology from 1.5 GHz to 2.0GHz. This is great news for such a versatile and stylish piece. It is well capable of delivering smooth performance, even when you are on several tasks and programs at once- multitasking is easy with its 4GB of DDR3 RAM- Memory.

There is no standard type SATA hard drive on the Aspire P3. What you will find is the latest technology 120GB Solid State Drive that also provides you with 6 second boot-up and 1.5 second resume from hibernation. AcerCloud web storage lets you have access to all your files no matter where you are and on any device.

Picture quality is really good on 11.6" Acer CineCrysta LED-backlit HD Touch Screen at 1366 x 768 pixel resolution and being a 10-point multi touch screen, you will have fun with it tapping, touching and swiping. Viewing angles are also great at almost 180 degrees.

To be honest I wasn't expecting such sound quality on a small tablet ultrabook hybrid.. High volume and surround sound whether you're using your headphones, computer speakers, your LCD TV or a home theater system.

The keyboard has a great smooth typing feel and it is not small at all for an 11 inch tablet- larger keyboard than the competition.
