Acer Gemstone Blue

Acer Gemstone Blue

After the Acer Ferrari notebook, Acer has taken another step forward with BMW designers and introduces the new Acer Gemstone Blue

Based on the latest Core 2 Duo Penryn processors, the Acer Aspire 6920 and 8920G are notable for using full-HD displays. That's right. The LCD on these babies (16-inch for the former, 18.4-inch for the 8920G) can display full 1080p widescreen movies at 1,920 x 1,080-pixel resolution. These new toys are obviously decked out for entertainment folks, with a unique touch-sensitive control gracing the side of the keyboard. Blu-ray drives are also offered with these units, though we are not sure if it comes standard or as an addon option.



The Aspire 6920 is powered by an Nvidia GeForce 9500M graphics chip, while the Aspire 8920G uses a more powerful GeForce 9650M unit. Battery life is a respectable 2.5 hours for the former and 3 hours for the latter (possibly decked out with a larger power cell). These units are likely to hit Indian shores sometime in May-June. Prices are not available, so please drool for now.

Acer really comes up with great looking notebooks. Would be keen to see this one!

I just checked with the loacl dealer and it is still not been released in India.

Looks great!

I would not mind trading my Sony Vaio for this.
