Thanks to Windows 8 Acer Debuts Ugliest Touch PC Ever

I think the Acer Aspire R7 might be the high watermark for stupid looking touch screen PCs.



It looks like a very ugly Star Trek ship and looks like it will break in a minute. I can see that portion with Acer written on it right below the saucer section being a nightmare to keep from snapping off. Also why is the trackpad above the keyboard? I guess that is so the screen doesn't cover the keys when you type or something. Using that trackpad would be torture if you had to do it day after day.

This is all to somehow shoehorn touch into your computing experience. What takes the cake though is you are supposed to pay $1000 for the right to own this eyesore. Just pay $400 for the Nexus 10 or just wait until there is a Windows 8 tablet (if you really have to have Windows 8) and buy a keyboard and mouse dock for like $100. These half-tablet, half-laptop, all-stupid PCs are such a waste of money.
