Free whitepaper – Hands on with Hyper-V 3.0 and virtual machine movement
Acer subsidiary Packard Bell [1] has its eye on TwitBook buffs. Next month it will release a 15.6in notebook - the EasyNote TM - which sports a special Social Networks key.
Tap it and up pops a panel providing fast access to the likes of Facebook [2], YouTube [3] and Flickr [4].
The TM line will be offered with a variety of Intel Core i3 processors, up to 8GB of DDR 3 memory and 640GB of hard drive space. Some have Nvidia's GeForce GT 320M [5] 1GB graphics chip, others AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5470M [6] 512MB and some use the graphics core built into the i3.
Colour options include "Silk Silver", "Night Sky Black", "Starlight White" and "Cashmere Red".
Prices will start at £549. ®
