Ever imagined what a frameless laptop could look like? Well there is no need to put your imagination to the test as Digitimes has reported that Acer could be building its very own super thin frameless laptop.
So how will Acer be expected to create a usable and fully functional frameless display frame? Only in its concept stage, the plan is to use toughened glass (also known as Gorilla Glass) from Corning to prevent the display from breaking. Consequently you will get a thinner and lighter laptop, as the plastic frame which add weight and bulkiness to most laptops will disappear.
This idea certainly seems to be catching on the Far East as we've seen similar concepts from Fujitsu, with their Frame Zero Concept and Asus, with their Dual Display Laptop Prototype so expect to see more of this in the future, especially if a laptop manufacturer is able to produce a tactile laptop which can survive the bumps and grazes of daily life.
