The Iconia 6120 also recognizes multitouch gestures like a smartphone would, and includes both a basic virtual keyboard along with a helpful gesture editor.

Built around what they call the "Acer Ring Control Interface" (activated by placing five fingers in a circular pattern on the bottom display), a wealth of touch-enabled applications are included, including a touch-based web browser, social networking interfaces, and a device control panel. Given that Windows 7 is barely designed to handle one touchscreen let alone two, Acer is including a wealth of custom software to maximize the design of the Iconia 6120. Finally, the touchscreens themselves are designed using Gorilla Glass. Remaining connectivity is handled by two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, and 802.11b/g/n wireless networking. Acer was also keen to point out the Iconia 6120 includes USB 3.0 connectivity, a welcome addition and one we hope to see gain more and more traction in the mobile market.

Backing up the i5 is 4GB of DDR3, a 640GB mechanical hard disk, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The Acer Iconia 6120 Dual-Screen Touchbook will come equipped standard with an Intel Core i5 processor (complete with integrated Intel HD graphics) we're not sure if it's Sandy Bridge as the press release doesn't say, but most likely Acer opted to use Arrandale (we've seen i5-480M listed elsewhere).
