Wireless freedom, limitless possibilities
-
Wireless video chatting is easier and more pleasurable with Wi-Fi CERTIFIED® Acer InviLink™ Nplify™, the integrated Crystal Eye webcam and optional Xpress VoIP phone. Massive media downloading and file sharing are hassle-free thanks to one or two large-capacity Serial ATA drives, a 5-in-one card reader, and the optional built-in Bluetooth®. Adding a layer of protection and convenience is the Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint solution (optional), which employs the uniqueness of your fingerprints to guard the notebook against unauthorized use and to launch applications and websites in a flash. The Acer EasyPort IV connector, an ExpressCard™/54 slot, and numerous ports and connectors further expand the capabilities of the Aspire 7730ZG.
