The screen can be folded over so that it can be used like a notebook to take notes, navigate maps or even read ebooks. It has a built in accelerometer that automatically rotates images based on which way the laptop is being held. The tablet can also be used for video calls as it has a built in Acer Crystal Eye webcam, video quality enhancement and a built in mic. The multi-touch screen also includes a multi-gesture touchpad which can be used to rotate images, drag and drop, zoom and browse without any need for a mouse or other external device. The battery lasts eight hours without need for another recharge because of the low voltage processor options and power saving configurations.
