We know that Acer's impending Iconia Tab A700 will have Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. We know it'll have a quad-core 1.3 GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 progressor. We know that HDMI, dual cameras, Wi-Fi, and a 9,800 mAh battery are all in its feature list. And we know that is should be out in the second quarter of this year. But until now, we didn't know anything about the price.

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 3 2012
Incase you're wondering where Week 2 went, we've got that for you too in the form of a whole mass of CES 2012 wrap-ups, complete with videos, photos, and every bit of awesome information you could have ever hoped for in what would otherwise be a "Week in Review" post here on SlashGear. As for the week we just got done with, there's certainly a lot of aftershocks to be had as well, plus a whole mess of SOPA. As you may or may not know, this very moment in Washington there is a brand new bill numbered 1981 that's much worse than the "piracy" bills SOPA and PIPA we just destroyed - so get excited about a new war here and now!

Acer CEO speaks of massive Ultrabooks shipments for 2012
This month we've gotten quite a helping of awesome showings from Acer in the mobile category, but more important than that, so their CEO says, is Ultrabooks, and how many of them they'll be shipping inside 2012. Because of how well the manufacturer did with their first Ultrabook, the Acer Aspire S3, they plan on really rolling out the shipments and the subsequent sales of their newest and most fabulous tiny monster, the Aspire S5. This is that tiny sliver of an Ultrabook you saw the day before CES 2012 this year, the one we got hands-on time with (also shown in this post.)

CES 2012 Tablet Round-Up
This year’s Consumer Electronics Show revealed itself to be the real Ice Cream Sandwich treat for tablets in the Android sector, with one whole load of crap tablets attempting to burst the bubble of the very few high-class units that were or will be soon certified by Google. On the Windows 8 side of things, there were certainly some tablets to be seen, but certainly not to be touched – Windows 8 will be ready later this year, but Microsoft wasn’t having it when it came to showing it off fully here at the convention. Then there’s oddities galore like the Samsung Galaxy Note, a device we’d seen late 2011, but until now had never had a chance to peek at it on a USA carrier – it’s time!
Acer Iconia Tab W500 hands-on shows the laptop tablet that wasn’t
We've seen this device before, it having been on display early last year at Mobile World Congress 2011, but it being here at Pepcom during CES 2012 is more than a little telling for a device that was supposed to be a hit with Windows users throughout most of last year. When it comes to convertible tablets, your humble narrator's favorite device is the Transformer Prime, not least of all because it's able to fold down and be a laptop whenever you decide you want to transport it in such a way, not to mention the fact that it's got a fully functional trackpad to make it a high-class convertible in every aspect of the word - so why is it selling off the shelves while the Iconia Tab W500 remains one of the loneliest tablets in Acer's line of otherwise amazing hardware?

The Best of CES 2012
Welcome to our massive “best-of” wrap-up for CES 2012, complete with everything from smartphones to PCs and headphones and back, topped off with our own “most used gear” section for the curious. What you’ll find is that though there were more exhibitors, attendees, and media attention payed to the show than ever before, the overall result was a lot of the same gear re-hashed with a few new specifications. Pay special close attention to the conclusion of this post for a bit of a whopper if you’re a big fan of the largest show of the year here in the United States.

CES 2012 Ultrabook Round-Up
If CES last year was dominated by tablets, CES 2012 has been the year of the ultrabook. Intel’s ultraportable notebook trademark had already picked up late in 2011, but it’s the Consumer Electronics Show this week where the big guns like Dell and Samsung came out to give it some real momentum. If Intel has its way, one of the following machines will be lightly weighing on your shoulder over the next few months.
Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra 14 and 15 hands on
The Aspire S5 isn't the only thing Acer unveiled today, but you'd be forgiven for thinking so. In addition to a bevvy of cloud services that were unfortunately uninspiring, the latest revisions of the Aspire Timeline series were show off in 14 and 15-inch varieties. These laptops aren't quite as flashy as their smaller sibling, but they combine a god set of features with solid (rated) battery life, and the magnesium build is worth a look from any fan of good design.

Acer Aspire S5 hands on
Acer showed off its incredibly thin take on the ultrabook at CES today, and we were there to get a first look at the new hardware. The Acer Aspire S5 is the newest model in the line, and if initial impressions are anything to go by, it’ll definitely be commanding some attention when it releases.
