Acer launches its first Windows 10 Mobile phone, unveils more products

Ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show kicking off in Las Vegas this week, Acer has taken the wraps off some new gadgets — including the Liquid Jade Primo, its first smartphone running Windows 10 Mobile, which it teased at IFA a few months ago.

Here’s a roundup of everything new from the Taiwanese giant this week:

Aspire Switch 12 S SW7-272 2-in-1 Notebook

The Aspire Switch 12 S runs on Windows 10 and packs a 12.5-inch display, available in either 4K or Full HD, with an anodized aluminum chassis that Acer says gives it a “sleek, uninterrupted modern look.” Sporting USB Type-C, it’s powered by Intel Core M processors and is expected to be available in the U.S. from February, starting at $1000. We recently saw Acer do something similar with the Aspire Z3-700.
