Acer chairman eyes MacBook Air-like ultrabooks for PC growth

. Acer chairman JT Wang on Thursday reaffirmed the company's dedication to the new “ultrabook” market, further distancing his company from the low-margin netbooks that have dominated its PC lineup in the past. Following the success of Acer's first-generation ultrabook - the Aspire S3 reportedly shipped between 250,000 and 300,000 units during its first quarter of availability - Acer plans to launch new ultrabook models in both the second and third quarters this year. According to DigiTimes, Wang estimates that Windows and Intel-powered ultrabooks will account for between 25% and 35% of the company's PC sales in 2012.
