Android's had a quiet showing here at Computex Taipei, but Acer just snuck out a new product that could well represent a breakthrough for the platform at large. The Iconia Tab A110 is at the company's booth without much fanfare, and on the face of it isn't particularly interesting - a 7-inch tablet with Android 4.0 that's powered by an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor. However, we spoke to an Acer representative who said that the A110 would be positioned as the company's main low-end device when it's released in the third quarter of the year, and that it will cost less than $200. If true, the aggressive pricing means it could well be the first benef …

Acer is unveiling its first Windows 8 collection at Computex and Taipei, and while it's showing off some other, non-traditional designs, its Aspire S7 aluminum ultrabook is quite a looker. The 1080p touchscreen laptop is coming in two sizes - 13.3 and 11.6 inches - and Acer is quoting 12 and 9 hours of battery life, respectively. Other details are light, but Acer is adding a glossy layer of glass to the outside of the 13.3-inch machine's aluminum lid. It seems like the company is tempting fate a little by putting glass on the laptop's exterior, but the "trendy and elegant appearance" must be worth it.

Acer's unloading all of its Windows 8 announcements at Computex in Taipei today, among them the Iconia W510 and W700 tablets. While we don't have full specs for either yet, the W700 is an 11.6-inch Full HD, 10-finger multitouch touchscreen tablet with Dolby Home Theater sound, and it's also got a pretty interesting cradle to go with it. The cradle allows for a tilt of up to 70 degrees while in landscape mode for better viewing angles, and goes to 20 degrees for more convenient touch angles. We also know that the W700 has three USB 3.0 ports.

Acer has just announced two new all-in-one Windows 8 PCs at Computex 2012 in Taipei: the 27-inch Aspire 7600U, and the 23-inch Aspire 5600U. Acer is touting the slim form factors of the new U series, and says that the 5600U is the "thinnest all-in-one available," while the 7600U is just 35mm thin. Both the 7600U and the 5600U have "full HD" screens, 64-point multitouch display and Dolby surround sound, and their stands are pretty fantastic: they can be positioned completely vertical to the ground at a 90-degree angle, tilt down all the way down to zero degrees for a completely flat surface for collaborative touchscreen work, and swivel in ei …
