Depending on your taste for the unusual, the Acer Iconia 6120 ($1,199.99 street, 3 stars) is either teetering on the edge of madness or pushing the boundaries of innovation. It boasts two 14-inch widescreens that are hinged together like a traditional clamshell laptop, where the bottom screen replaces all the physical keys with virtual ones. Both screens are touch-enabled and are complemented by a hodgepodge of custom software from Acer, ranging from a full virtual keyboard experience to its own Web browser that utilizes both screens. Now we've seen dual screens like this in handhelds like the Nintendo 3DS and Toshiba Libretto W105 ($1,099 direct, 1.5 stars), but never one quite this big. If you do a lot of typing, the virtual keyboard will drive you absolutely mad. But if you consume tons of media and fancy a second display, the Iconia is a unique and innovative take on multitasking.
Touch SoftwareThe Iconia is also a tablet because both screens are touch-enabled, though they aren't meant to be used with a stylus (since one is not included It behaves like a laptop, but you can't really use it without first understanding how to use the touch-enabled software first. That's mainly because of the virtual keyboard, a critical feature that makes or breaks this laptop. For most users, unfortunately, it's the latter. To bring up the keyboard, you put both palms on the bottom screen (tap the corner "X" to get rid of it). The concept is super neat. But then you start typing on it, and that's where the trouble starts. It's not a haptic keyboard, so there's no force feedback or buzzing noises coming from the keys. It's very similar to typing on an iPad 2: The keys make clicking sounds, but aren't enough to give you the resistance physical keys give you.
After having 10 of my colleagues try out the virtual keyboard, I found that the touch typists had the toughest time with it because the "feel" of the keys wasn't there. Those who hunt and peck, on the other hand, did better because they tend to look at the keyboard while they typed. And by "better," I mean that they were able to compose a paragraph without walking away in frustration. Since you're typing on a glass screen, any light above it will result in glare that will obliterate the view of the keyboard. Because it comes with Windows 7, you can also use its Touch Input Panel (TIP) for handwriting recognition, but doing so with your fingers (since it's touch only, not digitized) is almost laughable . The virtual touchpad and mouse buttons responded better than I expected: It felt relatively natural surfing the Web and navigating through a 30-page PDF file. At any point in time, of course, you can plug in an external keyboard and mouse and use it the old fashioned way.
Final WordThe Acer Iconia 6120 is a laptop experience like no other and aimed at tolerant, forward-thinking users. Its dual 14-inch widescreens are more for media consumption than office productivity, as the weakness of its keyboard and touch functionality are the result of early Acer software and Windows 7. It's not meant to be an iPad 2 or convertible tablet alternative. Rather, it's a laptop that utilizes a second screen instead of physical keys, which is not to say you can't plug in an external keyboard and mouse into its USB ports. A small battery and paltry battery life further limits its worth on the road. It's the kind of laptop that should find a fan base. All other users should go with a traditional laptop like the Asus U41JF-A1 or Dell XPS 15.
Design\nThe Iconia is a 14-inch laptop and designed to be treated as such. Even though there are two screens, there's a predefined top and bottom half. In other words, it's not meant to be held like a book, since weight isn't distributed equally between both sides (the bottom half, where all the ports and components reside, is much heavier) and the lack of an accelerometer (to change the screen orientation) seems to point to that. For the same reason, inverting the laptop and using the upper screen with the virtual keyboard isn't an option either. The Iconia is covered in aluminum, which would have been a classier touch had its murky, brownish tint not been so dull. A second screen adds a lot of weight and is the reason why the Iconia weighs 5.8 pounds—at least a pound heavier than other 14-inch laptops like the Asus U41JF-A1 ($857 street, 4.5 stars) (4.7 lbs) and Samsung QX410-J01 ($829.99 street, 4 stars) (5 lbs). Its heavy frame places it in the desktop replacement category, alongside the Asus K53E-B1 (5.8 lbs) and Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt) ($2,199 direct, 4.5 stars) (5.5 lbs).
