Acer made a public surprise yesterday at IAC Building in New York, by unveiling a new laptop design concept presented by Gianfranco Lanci, president of Acer Inc. and senior executives from Acer. Acer Aspire Gemstone Blue is among the highlights.
The largest of the two models, the 8920, has a 1920×1080 18.4″ screen, and a 90% (ATSC?) color gamut. The smaller, the 6920, is 16″ with same resolution and 60% of the color gamut. Both can support full Blu-ray playback. (Another blue reference.) They’re saying 3 hours playback on the 18.4″, and 2.5 hours of movie playback on the 16″ one. There will be an “SD” version with 720p playback of either DVD or Blu-ray.
They’re shipping in a month. The starting price point is $1,700, with a typical config around $1,900.
