Acer Lowers Digital Classroom Entry Barrier with Homegrown Management Service

Press release:

Schools in remote areas have typically struggled with managing classroom devices with little or no dedicated IT staff. To help bring down the digital divide, Acer Taiwan has worked with local system integrators to deploy Android Tablets to five remotely-located schools across the island through the Acer DADA (Device Agent & Deployment Assistant) management service.

The DADA system allows for provisioning based on device serial number, and automatically pushes predefined apps to batches of Acer tablets. In the case that students have accidentally deleted learning software or if the devices is infected with malware, a factory reset will restore the system and reload designated apps, streamlining the management process and dramatically lowering the entry barrier for schools with limited resources to deploy digital classrooms.

Acer’s Ultra-Thin-And-Light Notebooks Awarded Japanese Good Design Awards

Press release:

Acer announces that its latest ultra-thin-and-light notebooks have been honored at the 2016 edition of Japan’s Good Design Award, including both the Acer Swift 7, which is the world’s first[1] notebook to measure less than 1 cm thin, and the convertible Acer Spin 7, weighing just 1.2 kg. The abTouchPhone, a touchscreen multimedia IP desk phone, was also awarded for its full range of practical communication features, and also for its simple yet elegantly designed appearance.

Acer’s winning products stood out from over 4,000 entries, and were selected over a rigorous five-month screening process involving 76 international jury members. Screenings were held not only in Japan but also in South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Jury’s Evaluation of the Acer Swift 7

“The thinness and functionality of a laptop PC conflict with its operability, but the Acer Swift 7 strikes an appropriate balance between the two elements. The streamlined shape of the PC, which is less than 1 cm thick, makes it look visually thinner than it actually is, and the product generally has a robust yet elaborate image due to its use of cut and molded aluminum alloy as a material. Furthermore, despite its thickness, it provides a favorable touch button, and the use of a large touch panel achieves both a beautiful design and ease of use.”

Jury’s Evaluation of the Acer Spin 7

“Consumers have growing expectations for convertible laptop PCs as smartphones become more common and these convertible laptop PCs are expected to be used on occasions different from those for ordinary laptop PCs, and unlike the latter, the former also needs to meet various needs in terms of structure. The Acer Spin 7 is light and slim, and under these restricted conditions, it uses a rotary touch panel, meeting user needs in various situations through its 14-inch monitor and fan-less design. The case made from an aluminum alloy adds a sense of high quality to the product while ensuring its sturdiness. The Spin 7 boasts of outstanding performance as a hybrid convertible PC.”

Switch in a snap with every life mode with Acer Switch 2-in-1 devices

Never doubt your decision if in case you decide to switch to a different digital device from the one you commonly use because you want your device to fit whatever work or life mode you prefer.

 It’s not bad to switch at all, especially if you’re going to shift to an Acer 2-in-1 device that’s not just amazing aesthetically but also has powerful features that will definitely fit both every day and adventurous users.  You have four choices to choose from Acer’s array of 2-in-1 devices: the Acer Switch 10, Switch 10E, Switch 11 and Switch 12 and either which one you choose, is a great find.

Eye-catching body and frame, innovation, power, beauty or durability—these are what you get from any of the Acer Switch 2-in-1 devices that will make your investment—and your decision to switch—truly worth it.

 The Acer Switch 10 and 10E, for example, are surely brilliant choices in making that all-important switch. These trendy and compact 2-in-1s allow versatile shape-shifting into four different devices: notebook, tablet, tent and display with nary a snag via the Acer Snap Hinge™, which also allows you to snap on or off a keyboard with a simple push or pull.

Protecting your data is also a breeze. The keyboard serves to lock or unlock sensitive data on your keyboard dock’s hard drive. To lock the hard drive and protect your data, just snap off the tablet from the keyboard, then simply snap it back on to unlock.

Power is no stranger to the Acer Switch 10 and Switch 10E, which come with Intel Atom processors for better graphics and gaming performance, including power efficiency to prolong battery life to let you go serious whether at work or at play. The fact that these devices run on Windows 10 and features “Continuum” that automatically switches the interface from tablet to laptop mode.

Coming in eye-catching and trendsetting colors that suit perfectly the dynamic shape and elegant textile-pattern texturing, the Acer Switch 10 and 10E also features Acer VisionCare™. This technology lets you switch on Acer BluelightShield™ to reduce harmful blue light in case you need to look at the device for long periods, and also sets to Acer LumiFlex™ to auto-boost the contrast if you will use in under direct sunlight. No more squinting, no more added eye strain, no more eye problems in the future. Plus, with its HD screen’s IPS technology made tougher with super-tough Gorilla™ Glass to make it scratch-free, you get to see images clearly regardless of the angle.

If in case the Acer Switch 10 and Switch 10E doesn’t fit your fancy, take your pick from the Acer Switch 11 or Acer Switch 12. The Acer Switch 11 features a super comfy Chiclet keyboard for easier typing, a super responsive precision touchpad for smooth navigation, latest Intel Core processor for power-saving features that equate to longer battery life, dual front-facing speakers, full HD and IPS display screen with Zero Air Gap technology and anti-fingerprint technology.
