Weighing about two kgs, TravelMate C202 is available at Rs 94,999 plus taxes. The company said it's the first 12.1 inch convertible PC with an integrated hot-swappable optical drive.
The 'TravelMate C202' is powered by Intel Centrino mobile technology and the new features enable secure personal computing, officials of Acer India, the wholly owned subsidiary of the $7 billion Acer Computer International Ltd, said.
The TravelMate C202 is Acer's fifth generation tablet PC, and is the first tablet PC to sport a patented sliding-track mechanism for convertible notebook functionality, that converts between notebook and slate modes, S Rajendran, Acer India's general manager, sales and marketing, consumer products group, said. The TravelMate C202 sales would be pushed in the Indian healthcare sector.
Acer has 5.5 per cent market share in PC and 15.3 per cent in notebooks in India, he said, quoting IDC figures. Rajendran said the healthcare sector is one of the focus markets because the tablet PC features enable doctors to increase their efficiency and maintain up-to-date online records.
Acer is launching next week a programme aimed at doctors with an offering of select models. In January, Acer would target 50 hospitals in India and promote tablet PC and its benefits, he said.
