It has recently been reported that Acer is working on a new laptop concept with a frameless touch keyboard and frameless touch screen.
Is it true? Probably… The concept presumably uses a reinforced glass substrate from Corning (maybe Gorilla Glass). It is not known at the moment when this frameless laptop will be unveiled, but I wouldn’t expect it for another year or two at the earliest although the source who provided the details to DigiTimes estimates the second half of this year.
The idea is like the Fujitsu Frame Zero concept which does away with bezels which are to be a thing of the past. The Fujitsu concept is shown above.
Of course, it is still unknown how powerful such device could be. At the moment the company representatives have not released any information on what can be successfully squished between a couple of sheets of glass. Ii is expected that a low powered device will be seen at first which as time goes by, bumps up a little in terms of performance to what we are more familiar with today. Despite the fact that it looks good I’d certainly want to test how usable a touch-screen keyboard is before purchasing a replacement all-glass laptop.
