Remember the rumor about an upcoming Acer laptop housing a super thin LG Shuriken display? Well, here it is at Computex. Thanks to the crazy thin bezel, we noticed this TravelMate 8481 series laptop quietly chilling out in a corner at Acer's booth, though upon closer inspection it turned out that the bezel is slightly deceptive. What's really happening here is that it's the screen module (which includes the 1.3 megapixel webcam) that's eating away the bezel, but the actual LCD (14.1 inches at 1,366 x 768) is further inside, thus leaving a much bigger space between. Still, it's one helluva slim display thanks to LG's display technology and Acer's carbon fiber chassis.
Other highlights include Intel Core i7, Intel HD Graphics 3000, up to 320GB of hard drive space, up to 13 hours of battery life, USB 3.0 with power-off charging, fingerprint reader, HDMI, and Bluetooth 3.0. Oh, and like some of the ThinkPads, the mouse buttons use the same mechanism as the keyboard keys for better clicking experience, though it might not be everyone's cup of tea. No prices announced just yet, but keep an eye out for a global launch around mid-June. Video after the break.
