Windows 8.1 set up and test on dual touch screen Acer Iconia 6120 : The Touch is strong with this one but is it a Jedi yet?






I have tried every flavour of Windows 8 since the Sinofsky keynote, when the preview launched it was an OS based on touch and multitasking waiting for applications and hardware to arrive ... luckily I had around 5 tablet PCs to test it out on ..so I have been experimenting from the beginning ... and with every iteration from preview to RC to retail to now 8.1 it has not only evolved but evolved how I work and play...  

How well it works on dual screen tablets ( Courier ?) is fascinating , during the preview testing and development phase I got to ask Microsoft to include dual screen , dual touch screen optimisation and features .. 

And they delivered, I have been using Windows 8 with the Toshiba Libretto and Acer Iconia 6120 for sometime .. and once you have two touch screens at your disposal you are loathe to go back to the single life...

We'll get to how cool things get , in a moment, first this is how you set up and enable touch on both screens of your dual screen Windows 8.1 tablet : In this case the Acer Iconia, because my Toshiba Libretto has left me .. fickle things these dual screen tablets ...




Nothing is being streamed here, the Windows 8.1 installation is running native in hardware , the 6120s hardware ... and this is so significantly faster than Windows 7 for multi tasking it is off the scale ... running multiple browsers, IE 11 and Chrome both with  Youtube videos playing in HTML5 and Flash, simultaneously, multiple Windows 8 and desktop Apps all open and running and nothing slows it down on either of the two screens ... 

Witness then the true power of this fully operational Windows 8.1 Dual 14 inch 10 point touch screen tablet ... with the help of Green Ham in Space, Belligerent Aves and a miniature planet destroying simulation 














What I am really looking at here is the multi tasking and pane sizing features of Windows 8.1 ...and as you can see it is a lot of fun doing so .. the combinations of Metro and desktop Apps that you can come up with are endless. 


Windows 8.1 rocks your dual screen tablet and yes you can play Angry Birds Star Wars whilst playing Angry Birds Space ..whilst playing Tiny Deathstar and more 

Running a full screen hi res video from the net does not phase the action one bit ... there was a time using older OS PCs when opening two browser instances would grind the machine to a halt..

 There was another question I asked at the Windows 8 developer meeting I attended long ago .. the ability to run multiple apps and get them to interact moving data or items from one to another across the panes .. this is something I have to test one Xbox ONE mania subsides this weekend .. 

As for the Courier concept .. in Windows 8.1 Microsoft have the only OS that is optimized for dual touch screen tablets with pen and touch input and the power of full X86 .. 

I see the Courier and dual and triple touch screen set ups as eminently possible ..nay inevitable .. 

As of now the Acer Iconia 6120 is the most unique Windows 8.1 tablet  PC out there ... and if like me you have 4 games to get through ...well now you can get down to them in one go ...

More to follow as I explore Windows 8.1 features further ...boy are those Bitizens needy...
