Acer Launches Aspire Gemstone Notebooks

Acer Aspire 8920 Gemstone

Acer is first to market with the Acer Aspire 8920 and Aspire 6920, two new notebook families built on a unique 18.4” and 16” footprint, equipped with Blu-Ray Disc drive, Full High Definition LCD screens and native 16:9 resolution

Blue, colour and light, is the element that identifies the design of this new series, named Aspire Gemstone blue.

The blue light that runs across the new Gemstone series instantly distinguishes the new product identity and illuminates its many elements of style:

The Holographic 3D cover radiates true elegance. The starlit backlight shines below the floating Acer logo, positioned in the center of a sparkling blue sub-layer

The two notebook series integrate the second generation Dolby Home Theater technology with powerful audio technologies – CineSurround, Tuba CineBass booster, and True5.1 output – that set a new standard for the notebook sound capability

Acer Tuba CineBass
World’s first, unique tube-type bass booster design

Larger subwoofer capacity with tube design for smooth sound wave flow to get best resonance performance

DiamondBlack eKey
A shining legacy of the original  gemstone design, the DiamondBlack eKey flaunts the classic appeal of precious stones and forms the gateway to a world of empowering technologies

The intricate texture of the NeoWeave palm rest is both refined and rugged, providing a comfortable, ergonomic area for your hands.

The Enlightener media flow shows how high definition entertainment was built right into the Aspire Gemstone Blue, tracing a path between the power button and the world-class digital sound of the Dolby certified Tuba bass in one uninterrupted path of pure entertainment. Simple, direct. Pure enlightenment.
