The Acer Aspire Timeline 1820PT is still a no-show in my neck of the woods. But if you happen to be in Australia, you can pre-order this 11.6 inch laptop with a touchscreen that swivels and folds down over the keyboard for use in tablet mode.
Aside from the touchscreen, the laptop is pretty much the same as the Acer Aspire 1810T, which is already available in the US. Like the 1810T, the 1810PT has a dual core 1.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 CPU, an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, GMA X4500MHD graphics, and 802.11b/g WiFi and Bluetooth. The laptop also supports up to 8GB of RAm, and a 320G hard drive, has an HDMI port, and supports optional 3G wireless.
The Australian prices are pretty high, but computers tend to cost an arm and two or three legs in Australia. The price should drop significantly if and when the Acer Aspire Timeline 1820PT is released in North America.
