Johannes from NewGadgets.de managed to get hold of the 1825PTZ that is now on sale in Germany and promptly shot an unboxing video. He gives us a good tour of the device that sports an 11.6-inch capacitive display powered by the 1.3GHz SU4100 processor, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, WI-Fi (b/g/n) and a 6-cell battery. Check out the video after the break.

The Butterfly Touch will be powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 processor and Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics. It will support up to 4GB RAM, 640GB HDD and will be running Windows 7 Home Premium. Other features include a HDMI port, Wi-Fi, 5-in-1 card reader, webcam and optional 3G & Bluetooth. The 6-cell battery should last for around eight hours. All of this is wrapped up in a package weighing around 1.6kg.

The Packard Bell EasyNote Butterfly Touch Edition will launch in February 2010 in the UK with prices starting at £499. It will be available in two colours, Cherry Red and Nightsky Black.

As you would expect, the 1820PTZ feels heavier than a normal netbook/ultra-thin of this size. The display has pressure sensitive finger & stylus support. When using it in pen mode, the display can enable palm rejection. The accelerometer worked well although it does take 1 – 3 seconds to rotate.

Denosha posted three videos of the 1820PTZ in action including a demonstration of its multi-touch capabilities with Microsoft Surface and an inking test in Microsoft Journal. He also posted a video showing the device booting up and how it transforms into a tablet. You can catch all three videos after the break.

The model he tested comes with a dual-core 1.3GHz SU4100 processor, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD and Windows 7 Home Premium. Other features include Wi-Fi (Draft-N), Bluetooth and a 6-cell 5600mAh battery.

Play.com has the device (1820PTZ – 413G16N) listed for £529.99 and launching on the 25th January 2010. OYYY is a bit more optimistic, listing it for £568.89 albeit with an earlier 11th January release date.

The 1820PTZ seems to be identical to the 1820PT but only sports an ‘Intel Dual Core’ processor as opposed to the ‘Intel Core 2 Duo’ seen on the 1820PT. It comes with a 11.6” multi-touch display and 8-hr battery life. It will be powered by a 1.3GHz SU4100 Intel processor and comes with 3GB RAM, a 160GB HDD and 64-bit Windows 7 Professional.

The Acer Aspire 1420P, 1820PT and 1820PTZ convertible tablets have been made official by appearing on the official Acer US website. The only model we’ve previously heard of is the 1820PT that recently got a hands-on in Italy. The 1820PTZ seems to be identical but only sports an ‘Intel Dual Core’ processor as opposed to the ‘Intel Core 2 Duo’ seen on the 1820PT.

This gets confusing as the non-convertible 1810TZ model had the dual-core processor compared to the 1810T i.e. the TZ model was meant to be better, however in the above case the 1820PT is the better specced model.

Still with me? Well Acer has revealed another model, spotted by Engadget, called the Aspire 1420P. As before the specs are near-enough identical to the other two (11.6” multi-touch display, 8-hr battery life) bar the processor. This model comes with an Intel Celeron processor, so is likely to be the cheapest out of the lot.

The rest of the specs for all three models includes 4GB of DDR3 RAM (max 8GB), either 250GB or 320GB HDD, Wi-Fi (b/g), Bluetooth 2.1, HDMI, three USB ports & card reader. All come with Windows 7 Home Premium. Interestingly all three models are listed as having high-resolution (1366 x 768 displays) as well as standard definition ones (1024 x 600). Hopefully, pricing details will follow in due course.

Update: Acer has an ‘Acer Touch‘ product page on its site that shows some of the multi-touch gestures that can be performed with these new devices.
