Every school year, I have two main concerns about my children: to provide for their school needs and to assure that they get through it safely. This is the reason why Acer’s #PullitOff Campaign strikes a sensitive chord in my heart that beats primarily as a mother. I want to be able to provide them the devices they need to keep up with the current mode of learning that increasingly leans towards the use of technology. Also, it is in my interest to assure them that no one hurts them physically or emotionally through bullying, no matter what. It is actually encouraging to know that one company is looking into two seemingly unrelated issues which has the school environment as its common factor.

Acer Device Offerings for the School Year

Technology is very much part of education. Computers and other devices are slowly but surely taking the place of books and changing the manner of submitting assignments. This is why it is important for students to be supported by reliable devices and here are some of the offerings from Acer.

1. Aspire Switch 12

Acer Aspire Switch 12 is an intuitive and immersive 5-in-1 device that can be used as a laptop, tablet with keyboard or not, or even as a desktop PC through its 5 modes—notebook, pad, display, tent and desktop.

Aspire Switch 12 is powerful in terms of computing abilities, responsive and vivid graphics yet consumes low power, thanks to its new Intel® Core™ M processor and smooth-running Windows 8.1 operating system. Its big, 12.5-inch display screen, protected against accidental bumps and scratches by Corning® Gorilla® Glass keeps up with the always-active student lifestyle. Its full HD display lets you see everything as clear as a whistle regardless of angle or extreme lighting condition. The touch-screen display has anti-fingerprint capabilities to prevent those unappealing smudges from splotching the screen.

2. Aspire Switch 11

Aspire Switch 11 has a unique Acer Snap Hinge™. You can flip, rotate, or detach it in a snap. Its invisible force of magnetism lets you detach the tablet seamlessly and snap it back on whenever and wherever you need it. The spacious chiclet keyboard is perfect for taking down long notes because it assures comfortable typing and solid tactile feedback. Supported by six touchpad gestures, Aspire Switch 11’s Precision Touchpad guarantees gestures as fluid as touchscreen gestures.

Express yourself freely with Aspire Switch 10 E’s range of trendy colors that work perfectly with its dynamic shape and elegant textile-pattern texturing. This 2-in-1 runs on Windows 8.1 and features all the Microsoft Office programs you need to get home works done. Its Intel quad-core processor and 12 hours of battery life make the Aspire Switch 10 E the ideal tool for group studies.

The Aspire Switch 10 E also comes with the Acer SwitchLock™ that lets you lock the keyboard dock’s HDD so it only works with the tablet part. Protect all you HDD data by snapping the tablet off the keyboard and snap it back on to unlock it.

Acer Anti-Bullying Campaign

School life is not all about studying. There are serious issues that confront students like bullying.  This video hits it right on the spot.

My Say

Students of today are confronted with so many issues. There is the stiff competition in studies and there are personal affronts that can break even those who have the strongest will. What parents like me need to do is to make our children aware that there are always choices available whether it be in academic or social concerns.

With the right disposition and support, students are better equipped to survive challenges that may come their way and with companies that go one step further in supporting students, they can #PullitOff with Acer with ease and dignity.
