Ah, honestly speaking this is unexpected coming from Acer. Two 14 inch touchscreen running on Windows 7 Home Premium. What more could go wrong with that? No more traditional keyboard and has a mouse setup in favor of an exclusive touch-based interface.

Bundled with a multitouch point technology, Iconia allows you to customize the commands and gesture on the screen. For example, place one palm on the keyboard brings up Acer Ring, place both hands the bottom screen brings up a full keyboard. These are pre-installed commands on the device.

Now what is this funny looking object? Care to take a guess? Yes it's a mouse! This mouse over here has won the CES Design and Engineering Program Computer Peripherals Award of 2011. Hand's down on the award. They deserve it. But why?



It all begins when the founder of Swiftpoint, Grant Odgers feels that touchpads are very inaccurate and inefficient substitutes for a mouse. So he begin to work on the concept for a small, portable mouse that can be used on your laptop surface.

And finally in the year 2008 in CeBIT, the world largest expo, the company introduced two revolutionary mice concept designs, "Swiftpoint Slider" and Swiftpoint Triped".


The Swiftpoint Mouse is small and portable and feels very natural to use due to its pen-like grip. Requiring only the palmrest beside the laptop touchpad to operate, the Swiftpoint Mouse provides for laptop computer users freedom without compromising the freedom to use their laptop to work and play, whenever and wherever they wish, while still maintaining the functionality and performance they want from a mouse.


Features and specs

Swiftpoint mouse is designed specifically for portability and it bundles along with a mini USB docking station. It has a magnet to provide solid grip so the mouse will stay put on the laptop. A standard 1000dpi range but what's best is the battery life of this tiny mouse. It comes with a cool quick charge feature that in 30 seconds of charging, you will get 1 hour of usage and a full 90 minutes will give u 2-4 weeks of battery life. Price wise, it sells for $69.95, about Rm200+ if available in Malaysia. Worth if you dislike touchpads and has portability issues. That's all folks. Have a nice day.
