If the Acer Aspire Timeline 1820PT is a touchscreen tablet version of the Acer Aspire 1810T, then what do you think the Acer Aspire 1420P is? That's right, it's a convertible touchscreen version of the company's cheapest laptop with an Intel CULV processor: the Acer Aspire 1410.

While the Aspire 1410 goes for as little as $400, there's no official word on the price for the 1420P yet. But Acer has posted a product page for the new laptop. Here's a rundown of the specs:
