The new Acer Gemstones designed notebooks have been around a while, and truth be told, they aren’t that attractive. That will change soon with the upcoming Aspire 6920 and 8920G.
Both notebooks run a Penryn based CPU, with the standard array of memory and HDD options (the 8920 can hold 2 HDD’s). The nice additions are the Blu-Ray drives, NVidia GeForce 9650M GS and the unusual screen sizes. The 6920 comes with a 16-incher while the 8920G comes with a super weird 18.4-inch screen. Both screens are also capable of 1920×1080.
The real seller for me is the look. From the product shots they look a million dollars, but really range from $US900-1700 (I don’t believe that is possible). Lets hope Acer sticks to this design, and move around from corporate ugly (the standard for a lot of companies).
