There are just some of the celebrity appearances for the CES 2012. And well, we will also be seeing the world’s thinnest laptop from Acer at the show.

It seems that companies today are vying for the superlatives in their new products. It is either the smallest, the lightest, the biggest, the fastest, or the most loaded gadgets.

And now, we have the thinnest laptop from Acer. Last Sunday, the Taiwanese computer company unveiled the world’s thinnest laptop computer as part of an array of “ultrabook” rivals. The new product will debut this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The company will be shipping the new line called the Acer Aspire S5 models in the second quarter of 2012. Prices are yet to be disclosed.

Tim Bajarin, an analyst at Creative Strategies said, “That S5 is quite significant. It looks like the thinnest and lightest, and it sets the bar for the rest of the ultrabook vendors.”

Acer Aspire S5 Specs:

The Aspire S5 has a 34-cm (13.3-inch) screen and is 15 mm at its thickest point. The ultrabook weighs slightly less than 1.35 kg (three pounds).

Aspire S5 will have the Windows 8 operating system and so it is not really considered as a direct threat to the MacBook Air laptops.

While this is a nice development, my concern with a laptop so light is that, I may just bring harm to it. LOL But I think that the Acer Aspire S5 is something to check out.

I know, I have written this too late in the day. Everyone has been raving about the phenomenal feat of Pacquiao last Sunday, but well, being later is better than never.

Anyway, I have never doubted Manny Pacquiao. Many people would continually say that Manny is getting too ambitious, etc, but I never once doubted him. I always thought that Manny would win each fight. Is it because he is good? Yeah he is really good, with great athletic quotient. But more so, I believe his victory is foremost because of his faith in God. Everytime he wins, he would proceed to a corner, kneel down, and lift up a prayer to God. I believe that through this act, he is giving glory to God and therefore God is pleased with him.

Manny may not be perfect, but he is making God more famous by attributing his victory to the Lord. He also always asks people to pray for him.

Anyway, congratulations Manny. Live well and use your money wisely.
