Acer has put a special, Star Trek-inspired edition of its Aspire R7 desktop-notebook hybrid up for auction on eBay, with proceeds going to charity.
The device has a Star Trek-esque vibe, with its unique hinged design resembling the series' Starship Enterprise. Acer added even more trekkiness to the auction by including a Star Trek logo on the Aspire R7, a logo-adorned sleeve and other goodies such as aStar Trek Into Darkness poster signed by the film crew.
Only 25 of these special-edition Aspire R7s have been created, and only one is up for auction.
Even without the Star Trek details, the Aspire R7 is a capable Windows-8 machine, sporting a 15.6-inch, 1080p touchscreen, an 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 processor and a 500GB hard drive (as well as a 24GB SSD for speeding things up). Its regular price is $1,000; we'll see how the Star Trek edition will fare during the auction.
The net proceeds from the auction, which runs from June 14 to 24, will go to two charities: The Mission Continues and Save the Children.
