 Acer unveals a new tablet pc with a new hinge system:

“Sept. 17 ATHENS, Greece—At its Global Press Conference here Saturday, Acer rolled out a brand new tablet PC with an innovative pop-up hinge.

Unlike many other tablet computers, which use a rotating screen to convert from traditional notebook to tablet, the new TravelMate C200’s LCD screen slides up off of the keyboard to convert from a tablet to a traditional notebook.

The sliding LCD panel allows for a quick conversion, and feels more sturdy than the rotating screen design.

The C200 is built on the new Sonoma platform from Intel, and includes a Pentium M processor, and the new 915PM/GM Express chip set.

It includes biometric security via a built in thumbprint reader, and features a 12.1-inch LCD screen. The keyboard includes an integrated pointing stick, but no trackpad.

The C200 should be available in the United States by the end of the year. Pricing was not yet available. “
