Acer Intos The 'Gemstone Blue' Notebooks


Acer drummed up their best cloak and dagger today, and when it was all said and done, dropped two new bad ass laptops. The Aspire "Gemstone Blue" notebook comes with a Blu-ray drive, CineReal sound, true high-def screen, and comes in two sizes. The 8920G is the monster notebook weighing over 9 pounds, claims of 3 hours playback , and sporting a 1920x1080 18.4" screen. The smaller 6920G has a 16", 2.5 hours of playback, and the same resolution as it's big brother, and both support full Blu-ray playback.

Both feature Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo processors and up to 4GB of DDR2 667MHz memory, depending on your pocket. Finger printer reader, draft-N wireless, Bluetooth, webcam, and CineDash media controller is all standard.

Both will be available in a month, with a starting price of $900 and topping off just under $2000.
