Acer Exec Looks Down on Microsoft Surface

Acer Exec Looks Down on Microsoft Surface

Not everyone has kind words about Microsoft's recently-unveiled Surface tablet. Oliver Ahrens, regional head of Acer in Europe, Middle East, and Africa, has dismissed the Surface as a competitive threat. Ahrens added that the 10.6-inch tablet with ARM and Intel platforms still has a lot of work to do in “improving the user touch experience on Windows 8.”.
“From a competitive point of view we are not concerned, not a bit,” said Ahrens.

Meanwhile, Acer is launching its portfolio of hardware that also runs on Windows 8, ranging from tablets to ultrabooks to clamshell notebooks.
