MacBook-alike breaks cover

The Acer 3020 looks like an Apple - but tastes like a Windows notebook.

Acer has unveiled its first all-white notebook - and would you Adam and Eve it, it looks very much like the sexy Apple MacBook(the resemblance is purely incidental, of course).

The 1.5kg 3020 has a 12.1-inch 1280 x 800 widescreen, Bluetooth, all the main flavours of Wi-Fi and runs on one of a range of Centrino Core Duo processors. You also get an integrated webcam and a motion sensor that stops the hard drive spinning when the machine is dropped - thus preventing your precious "art" video collection from a premature death. Sadly, the optical drive is external. No word on a price or release date yet.
