    Acer Inc, the world No 2 PC maker, will launch an ultrabook super-light computer model in the fourth quarter, President Jim Wong told a group of reporters on Wednesday.


    Ultrabooks, a new category of notebook launched by top chipmaker Intel Corp, will be lightweight but still pack high-performance processors. Intel sees them accounting for 40% of laptop sales to consumers by the end of next year.

    Netbook pioneer and Acer rival Asustek showed its first ultrabook, the UX series, on Monday at the Computex computer show in Taipei.
