Acer has unveiled its new notebook, the Aspire S13, for sale in the Taiwan market in the second half of 2016. The Aspire S13 features a 13.3-inch display, an Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU and supports USBType-C, 802.11ac MU-MIMO technologies and with a built-in precision touchpad, supporting Windows 10's touch gestures. Prices range from NT$29,900-33,900 (US$927-1,051)
Acer has seen its share in Taiwan's notebook market reach its goal of 22% in second quarter of 2016, according to Samuel Chang, director of Acer Taiwan's marketing division.
Buoyed by the launch of the Aspire S13 and other 2-in-1 models, Acer expects its share in the local notebook market to climb to 23% in the third quarter and 24% in the fourth, Chang added.
The hardware specifications of the Aspire S13 are comparable to that of Apple's MacBook Air but are available only at half price, Acer CEO Jason Chen said earlier.
