Rumored Acer laptop: Ultra-thin, keyboardless

The company is thought to be going about this size reduction in two ways. First, the speculatastic notebooks would do away with that pesky plastic around and behind the LCD screen, according to DigiTimes. Instead, the screens would be made with a new type of reinforced glass with no need of a casing, trimming a little more than one-third of an inch from the top.

Then there’s the QWERTY business, which would also get the heave-ho. Instead, Acer is supposedly looking at a virtual keyboard, much like the one featured in the iPad commercial that hit last night during the Academy Awards. That would trim another half of an inch or so.By CNET
