Acer announced its online-oriented Aspire One Cloudbook 11 and 14, powered by Windows 10. The two portable notebooks feature 802.11ac wireless technology and the latest Intel mobile processors. They come with a 1-year subscription of Office 365 Personal and up to 1TB OneDrive online storage. Acer’s cloud-enabled abApps, including abPhoto, abMusic, abDocs, and abFiles, allow users to sync their files and documents with their smartphones or tablets, all in their own personal cloud. Dual digital microphones with enhanced digital signal processing (DSP) that cancel background noise ensure online calls are heard loud and clear, while also allowing a smooth experience for Cortana, Microsoft’s personal digital assistant.
