Acer Working on a Touchscreen Keyboard Laptop
Look ma, no keys!
Digitimes reports that Acer is working on a frameless laptop that will use the back of the panel's glass substrate as the cover for the notebook. Citing "sources from notebook players," Digitimes says the super-slim laptop will also feature a touch keyboard, as opposed to a traditional, tactile touch keyboard.
Digitimes sources say Acer will adopt Corning's reinforced glass substrate, print color on the back and use the substrate like a notebook cover for a frameless design. The move will make for an ultra-slim design and will also reduce cost of materials.
The laptop is said to be launching in the second half of this year.

roll on RSI
Another decision that hasn't been thought through. Most people who speed type, or type without looking feel their way round the keyboard - you know if you haven't got your finger exactly right as you can feel the edge of the key.
