The Iconia also relies on Intel’s integrated graphics, which is fine for everyday desktop productivity stuff, but a poor choice for high-def video playback or 3D gaming. Acer would get better performance and battery life from one of the newer Sandy Bridge models. The system ships with a 2.66GHz Core i5-480M that processor isn’t slow, but it is part of the previous generation of Intel Core CPUs. You don’t actually get a whole lot of computing power for your $1199. Acer’s dual-touch implementation of a Windows laptop is about as good as you could expect it to be, but it’s just not a great idea in the first place. Still, at that price it isn’t a very good deal, and you’re better off choosing something a little more down to earth. As high-concept products go, the Iconia is fairly affordable at $1199 (as of May 2, 2011). The standout feature, however, is its second 14-inch multitouch screen, which replaces the entire lower keyboard-and-touchpad deck. In many ways it’s a pretty ordinary 14-inch laptop. The Acer Iconia 6120 laptop is one of those marquee, “halo” products meant to draw attention to the brand as much as to satisfy everyday computing needs.
