Acer today debuts the Acer Aspire P3 Ultrabook, which delivers all the benefits of an Ultrabook in a unique design that easily transforms into tablet-mode. Today, many users are faced with choosing between notebook, hybrid, convertible or tablet designs when selecting a mobile computing device. The Aspire P3 takes care of that, with no compromises required. The Aspire P3 is the ideal mobile computing device for users who create and consume content.
Weighing only 3.06 pounds and measuring 0.77-inches thin, the newly defined mobile PC delivers on the promise of Ultrabooks with excellent performance and long battery life in a highly portable form factor. It adds the many benefits of tablet with a design that allows the touch-screen display to be used freely or in the keyboard-case. This gives Acer customers enhanced mobility as well as more ways to enjoy their device using touch for the latest apps, viewing photos, keeping in touch and having fun.

"Customers are moving to a touch-centric way of computing for most of their everyday tasks, such as web browsing, checking email, and entertainment," said Sumit Agnihotry, vice president of product marketing, Acer America. "The new Acer Aspire P3 Ultrabook makes touch computing even more powerful by providing customers with the responsive performance, fast boot times, and long battery life they want in a mobile PC. Plus, the form factor of the Acer P3 adds the productivity to ensure all-day usefulness beyond the fun in tablet mode."
Productivity Powerhouse
The Acer Aspire P3 provides true Ultrabook performance, so customers can use it as their main PC for handling everything from everyday computing tasks to more demanding ones such as creating presentations and sharing multimedia content. The new mobile powerhouse can also run multiple apps, such as video conferencing while reviewing spreadsheets and documents, further boosting productivity.
The responsive and fast Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors deliver the performance needed to take on these tasks while providing more efficient power consumption for longer battery life of up to six hours. Closing the case puts the Acer Aspire P3 into sleep mode, and opening it wakes up the device in only a few seconds. Since it runs Windows 8, it can handle Office programs as well as legacy Windows programs that are important for many businesses.
The chiclet keyboard built into the cover is full-sized, so customers can comfortably use it for productivity tasks such as writing documents and creating spreadsheets. The Acer Aspire P3 comes with an optional stylus that fits in the case for customers who want the convenience of pen-based input. Plus, it comes with a full-sized USB 3.0 port so customers can conveniently connect a mouse, printer, and other consumer devices.
These features make the Acer P3 ideal for businesses that are outfitting their mobile workforces, as well as schools or consumers who work in Office applications. The Acer P3 would make an excellent option for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives that are becoming more popular at businesses and schools.
Mobile Entertainment On-the-Go
Optimized for entertainment, the Acer Aspire P3's 11.6-inch HD display with IPS technology highlights video, photos and other multimedia in brilliant and accurate color and clarity. The wide-screen design beautifully highlights movies, and multiple people can enjoy entertainment on the go thanks to the display's wide 170-degree viewing angles. Dolby Home Theater boosts sound for headphones as well as built-in speakers. Audio and video on the Acer P3 can be shared with additional displays via its HDMI port. The built-in Acer Crystal Eye HD webcam captures video in 720p HD, bringing life to video web chats, while the 5MP back camera captures photos in high resolution. The new Ultrabook features a 60 GB or 120 GB SSD for powering on the device and retrieving data quickly and securely.
Pricing and Availability
The Acer Aspire P3 is available immediately starting at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $799.99 USD.
