Thin and light notebooks inevitably draw comparisons to Apple's MacBook Air, and you can probably expect a lot more of that once Ultrabooks emerge, at least at first. Part of the reason probably has to do with there not being a ton of pancaked proportioned notebooks. Intel aims to change the mobile landscape with its Ultrabook concept, and it looks as though Acer is itching to get started.
Renders of Acer's upcoming Aspire 3951 notebook popped up on the Web over at a Vietnamese website (Sohoa) and picked up by Electronista, and it's immediately apparent where Acer's inspiration is coming from. The company's 13.3-inch notebook bears a strong resemblance to Apple's ultrathin MacBook Air, except that the bulk of the ports have been shuttled to the back, a design cue that takes a page from Dell's Adamo.
System specs are mostly unknown at this point, but rumor has it the Aspire 3951 will ship with a 250GB or 500GB hard drive, as well as a 160GB SSD option. It will have a Core i processor of some sort, and based on the renders, a multi-card reader and HDMI port. Look for the 3951 to ship by the end of the year.
