Couldn't resist posting this.  happy smile

Taiwan-based notebook brand Acer is set to launch a 14.1-inch notebook featuring LG Display's ultra-thin Shuriken panel as soon as May 2011 and the model will be manufactured by Compal Electronics, according to sources from upstream panel makers.

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.

Based on the description I really want to see it.  Maybe they will have it on display at Computex.
