Pros

Dualscreen form factor is interesting
Virtual keyboard and Handwriting works
Power Packed with a large Harddrive and Loads of memory

Cons

Two-hour battery life
Bulky, heavy form factor
Windows 7 still not touch-friendly

I was very excited to see the Acer ICONIA hit the market.  I think this product is both trendsetting and innovative.  I particularly like the dual screen technology.  It allows you to run a host of applications simultaneously and with 4gb of memory standard(expandable) to 8gb there is no bog down and the flow is seamless.  The bottom screen(keyboard) needs to cleaned on  a regular bases due to finger print build up.  Both screens are 720dpi HD capable and present a radiant picture. I was not impressed with the battery life coming in at just under 3 hrs. Acer calls the ICONIA a tough book and that is a fact, both screens are reinforced with "Gorilla Glass" and are extremely durable. It comes pack with Windows 7 Premium.  You will need an external optical drive(CD/DVD/Bluray) as it is not equipped.  Overall, I think the Acer ICONIA is a exciting piece of technology and I predict it will change the scope of the notebook as it merges with the Tablet PC.
