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.

Acer has stepped into the spotlight at IFA 2016, showing off the world’s first curved screen gaming laptop. The company also took the opportunity to unveil a trio of new gaming monitors, all of which feature gaming-tailored eye-tracking tech.

Acer's latest Chrome OS effort brings something a little different to the party. It's still a low-end device, with many of the specs –​ and the price point –​ reflecting that fact, but the company has opted for an all-aluminum chassis, meaning that things should feel more premium this time around.
