Touch, Pinch, Flick, Swirl

With Acer's Aspire 5738PG multitouch notebook, users can touch anywhere on the screen using one or two fingertips to play movies, zoom in and out on Web sites, edit photos and video, hand-write notes, resize windows and launch entertainment apps.

Users also can gesture directly on the multitouch screen for intuitive access and control. Acer said that for example, you can pinch inward or outward to zoom in and out of photos, flick the screen to turn the page and browse through media and documents, as well as swirl a finger for quick and simple navigation of lists.

The touchpad also can be locked to prevent unintended cursor movement.
