heard that Acer is developing a 14.1" laptop that features LG's ultra-thin Shuriken panel. The system may hit the market next month.
Although the notebook will feature a 14.1-inch panel, the body of the machine will only have a size of a 13.3-inch model, benefiting mainly from the panel's technologies, which significantly shrink the panel frame's width from 1.2cm to 8mm and reduce the thickness of the device to only 4mm, the sources noted.
However, since the price of the Shuriken panel is a lot higher than a standard notebook panel, if a standard notebook panel costs US$30, a Shuriken-based panel is about 50% higher, the Shuriken panel was not widely adopted by notebook players previously.
