Yeah we are definitely muddying the definition of Notebook calling a 21" portable computer that is the size of an AIO a notebook. Maybe clamshell desktop?
When I say "ultrawide screen" I refer to the width of the actual screen, not the aspect ratio of the video signal that would fill it. I was thinking of ultrawide desktop screens in the order of 34" diagonal in 21:9 aspect ratio, for which there are examples from LG, Samsung, Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Phillips etc. Please excuse me for not being specific.
IMHO, going with a wider aspect ratio makes sense only if you have first achieved enough vertical size. A 34" 21:9 screen is about as high as a 27" screen in 16:9 aspect ratio. The Acer screen here is only as high as a 16.7" screen in 16:9 aspect ratio - which is not small for a laptop, but considering how this machine is in other dimensions I think that it should have been higher. That lid has some huge borders at the top and bottom.
This is Acer, of course, but surely even they wouldn't release this beast without at least 1 USB C 3.1 port that's Thunderbolt capable. The spec is still open, I guess ...
Hahahahahahahahaahahahahaha!!! That is possibly the funniest thing that I have read ALL YEAR!!! An Individual by the Username of: 'ryanrazer' is completely out of his mind! He wrote this following joke:
"My estimated price for this laptop is $799" - OK, that part is obviously a joke... but then continues on "+- $4000" - Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
Can anybody believe this dude??? A "Laptop" with a 21 inch screen, 7th Generation Intel CPU, then the biggie --> Not 1 but 2 Nvidia GTX 1080 Video Cards running in Full SLI!!! This thing is an absolute monster of a beast, and would absolutely NOT run shy of around $7000, in which one who purchases would NOT see much, if ANY change from that figure whatsoever!!!

Just got done breaking into one of their offices, I stole one and scored 3200 in cash from a safe in the back, I'm in the -4000 demographic!Yay! I'm at high settings! :) 100 FPS on everything! (hears sirens in the distance) Uh oh :(

The funnest thing is you can't even get a 1080 GTX mobile w/o having it in an SLI computer that cost no less than $5000!!Rotated Quickbits - Saturday, September 3, 2016 - link

That's not /really/ a laptop is it? It's an all-in-one with a hinged screen!Samus - Wednesday, August 31, 2016 - link

Pump some iron in your thighs, and you can probably hold one of these on your lap ;)I can easily see younger Arnold Schwarzenegger doing it, with very little to no sweat. Maybe even Stallone. On a good day.

AIOs usually don't have a keyboard built in... (or high-end hardware, for that matter). I'd say this one is in a class of its own.Lord of the Bored - Monday, September 5, 2016 - link
It could hardly be called all-in-one if you still had to add a keyboard.japtor - Wednesday, August 31, 2016 - link
So what's the battery life on this thing?...does it even have a battery?

That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen ... The return of the "luggable" computer of the early '80s.A curved screen make sense only when it is ultrawide, instead of having two.

I don't know what your definition of ultrawide is, but, unless the pixels aren't square, the screen has a 21:9 ratio, which is wider than 16:9.Findecanor - Wednesday, August 31, 2016 - link

Luggable, hmmmm...You might have something there. Attach a pair of wheels and a retractable handle...
