Acer to showcase its largest ever range of ground breaking technology products at Gitex 2003

The company, which has recently extended its range of tablet PCs and notebooks in the region, will offer special promotions to visitors at the computer shopper fair.

Since the launch of the Middle East's first tablet PC - the Acer TravelMate C100 - at last year's Gitex exhibition, Acer has sold an impressive amount of units. Based on the demand generated from Gitex for the tablet PC, Acer aims for similar success with its newest tablet PC the TravelMate C110, the first and only Intel Centrino based Tablet PC in the Middle East.

"Acer expects the TravelMate C110 - which includes Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and the latest Intel Centrino Mobile Technology - to be popular with visitors to both the exhibition and Gitex Computer Shopper," said Krishna Murthy, General Manager, Acer Computer (M.E.) Ltd.

"Acer has been a regular at Gitex for many years and it is the strong business benefits the exhibition delivers, which keeps us coming back. This year, Acer will be displaying everything from its latest tablet PC, the TravelMate C110, to its entire range of TravelMate and Aspire Notebooks, as well as its latest desktop PCs and servers."

Strong levels of interest are also expected for Acer's TravelMate 800, which has been selling well across the region. The model was the first Centrino-based notebook PC available on the global market.

"Acer makes every effort to be first-to-market with new technology and we are confident that visitors to the Acer stand will enjoy trying out just what Acer's wide range of TravelMate and Aspire notebooks are capable of," said Eugene Thomas, Business Development Director, Acer Computer (M.E.) Ltd.
