Acer ConceptD 7 Ezel Pro
It ain’t cheap, but it is intriguing…
Acer’s unusual dualhinge laptop makes for a great content creation tool.
IT’S ALL TOO EASY in this job to become blasé, to think you’ve seen it all before.
So, in that sense, the Acer ConceptD 7 Ezel Pro is thoroughly refreshing. It’s not truly unique, nor is it entirely issuefree. But it is unusual and it does some things so well that it makes conventional clamshell laptops seem clunky.
The showbiz bit involves the clever dual-hinged display. It’s an ergonomic design that unlocks an entire universe of input options you didn’t even know existed. Combined with the bundled Wacom EMR input pen, which slots neatly into the side of the screen, the result is a rather remarkable productivity tool for digital artists and other content creators.
