Acer Mounts A Stiff Innovation And Value Challenge To Apple In The Laptop Space
Wednesday, April 15 2009 @ 2:23 PM ET | Article Link
by Charles W. Moore

Apple is pretty much acknowledged as the innovation leader in computer design, even by Apple non-fans. The unibody MacBooks are a topical case in point. Nobody else has anything quite like their solid, one-piece housing carved from a single billet of aluminum. However, I have to say that world number three computer maker (number two in laptops) Acer is coming out with some mighty attractive and clever notebooks these days, in some aspects raising the bar past AppleÃs Current state of the art.
