The race to make laptops thinner and lighter is really hotting up. The 10.4 mm (0.41 in) HP Spectre was labelled the world's slimmest laptop earlier this year, but the 9.98 mm (0.39 in) Acer Swift 7 used IFA 2016 to steal that crown.

Google's Project Ara has shown us how a modular approach can work with a phone, and now Acer is trying the same strategy with the compact PC. Its latest Revo Build machine can be customized and slotted together like a tower made of blocks, with each piece adding extra functionality or capacity.
