Removable Touchpad - Cool concept

[Phinagle]

That touchpad is pretty ingenious.

One better would be to make one that can be used as a wireless game controller.

Wow, those look pretty good, reminds me a bit of sony's designs. The remote touchpad is genious.
And the scratch resistent glass clearly indicates Acer has left its path from cheap constructions for the lowest possible price.Those graphics are also better than what most 'normal' brands (i.e. not Asus G series/Aw/Toshiba Qosmio,etc) offer.

I need to convince myself to buy a new laptop :P I see nothing but good things going on here ^^

edit: and omg I just noticed the option for a matte screen, does it get any better than this? Why aren't all brands giving us what we want like that :d

Genius? Seriously? Nobody here has though of that idea? Ive been thinking of that implementation since I had my first touch screen phone. I thought "why not imbed something like this in place of a touchpad, full color display, media controls, removable, apps for system temps, menus for programs" Hmmm, maybe I'm genius?

I never thought about making the touchpad removable though.

Exactly! I like the idea of gesture support for bringing up different functions. Cost issues aside, but how cool would it be to have an ipod touch imbedded into the touchpad area.

You mean like this?

Great concepts Acer! Scratch-resistant gorilla class on a laptop FTW. Not too optimistic about screen quality though. Fact Acer only bothered to list the res makes me suspect it'll be yet another uninspiring TN panel.

Please remain cheap.
