Designed with the classroom environment in mind, the Acer Iconia Tab 10 has a durable, comfortable design, a 10-inch full HD Gorilla Glass 4 display, and Acer Precision Plus.

?As technology has been incorporated more broadly across K-12 classrooms, schools want to deploy devices that are easy to use, durable, manageable, and budget-friendly, and can be used as the foundation for a lifetime of learning for students,? said Maverick Shih, president of Acer BYOC and Tablet Business Group.

He added, ?The Acer Iconia Tab 10 for Education is an excellent choice for districts rolling out new technology throughout their entire school for 1:1 initiatives or even for a single mobile lab. The durable design, full HD display and interactive features will help make learning more creative and collaborative.?

Durable design

Designed for the education environment, the Acer Iconia Tab 10 is durable, as it stands up to heavy-use schools and classrooms. The reinforced front frame withstands bending and twisting, while minerals are added to the rear cover to increase toughness. Plus, the anti-slip textured finish is comfortable to hold and helps students keep a firm grip on the tablet.

Even the 10.1-inch display is more durable thanks to Corning? Gorilla? Glass 4 that is damage- and scratch-resistant. The anti-fingerprint coating keeps the display clean and reduces smudges. The 10.1-inch 1920×1200 resolution Full HD display has Zero Air Gap technology for brighter images and better visibility in sunlight, so students can take it outdoors for labs and experiments.

Also, when it?s time for reading, students can put their Iconia Tab 10 in Reading Mode to reduce the blue light emission by up to 60 percent for less eye strain.

The Iconia Tab 10 is durable while being light and portable, so it can be used both in the classroom and for outdoor activities. It weighs only 540 grams (1.19 pounds) and measures only 260w x 176d x 9.7h mm (10.26w x 6.93d x 0.38h inches).

Tech specs

The new tablet features Acer Precision Plus technology, which enables more varied and accurate content creation. Tablets with Acer Precision Plus have touch sensors that are more densely placed than those with general touch panels, and enable students to write, draw and create with pencil or stylus in a finer tip at just 2mm. This extra precision also lets students pinpoint anything on the display with greater accuracy and experience fewer mistakes.

The Iconia Tab 10 has NFC built in with setup and sharing capabilities. Teachers or IT administrations can set up a whole classroom of tablets in minutes simply by tapping them together.? It features Acer?s Iconia Suite of creativity and touch tools that let students simplify tasks and get quick access to frequently-used apps with intuitive touch gestures.

The Iconia Suite includes note-taking app EZ Note, screenshot capture app EZ Snap, gesture wake-up app EZ WakeUp, and the EZ Gadget widget for quick access to essential tools.

As for battery life, the Acer Iconia Tab 10 delivers up to 7.5 hours of battery life. It is powered by an Intel Atom quad core processor and features 2GB of DDR3 RAM and 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of on-board storage.

The tablet can be connected to share video and to other peripherals via USB 2.0, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0. The SD card reader supports up to 64GB memory cards to access and transfer files.
