Acer has unleashed the Aspire Timeline 1825PT, which is essentially a cross between a tablet and a netbook.

This supposed convention is being given due to the swivel screen. Swivelling the screen up converts it into open netbook, and folding the same makes it a tablet.

The 1825PT has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, with a 4GB of Ram, and an Intel GS45 Express graphics chipset that sports a resolution of 1366 x 768 HD display on 11.6 inch screen. Also a 250GB hard disk, a webcam, Wi-Fi, 3G and an HDMI port fills the rest of specs.

It provides a battery support for eight hours which when compared to iPad runs two hours short. Apple iPad comes with a battery back-up of ten hours and above.

This product has already been stacked in shelves and one can avail an Aspire Timeline 1825PT now, with prices starting from £599.
