Acer's Gemstone Blue Laptops Launched Here
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Apr 04,2008
Acer has launched the Aspire 6920 and Aspire 8920, under the brand -name Gemstone Blue, a brand new notebook PC series designed to bring the enjoyment of High Definition (HD) anywhere you go. These laptops seek to offer key multimedia innovations, superior display features, 2nd generation Dolby home theater experience and innovative features such as the "cine dash media console". The company is positioning these new introductions as ultimate notebook for consumers who desire the perfect mix of productivity and entertainment.


The new series certainly comes loaded in its specifications. The laptops are built featuring the Intel Core2Duo processors, the mobile Intel T5500 and T7500 Express Chipset with 2GB RAM and 3GB RAM respectively and an integrated module for wireless connection, supporting Acer SignalUp with InviLink Nplify wireless technologies. They also pack in storage space of 250 GB and 320 GB respectively.


Acer is first to market with 16" and 18" notebook series that features a Full HD CineCrystal LCD, 8ms response time and native 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. The Aspire 6920 and 8920 also feature an HDMI port with HDCP support. In addition, the new notebook series is equipped with a Wide Color Gamut display which seeks to deliver 33% more color range than the typical notebook panels.

The Aspire 6920 and 8920 also come with the brand new CineDash media console, a touch-sensitive interface that gives you a new way to manage entertainment and launch Acer Arcade in seconds, as well as navigate menus, adjust volume and control your media on the fly.


"Caring through innovation, Acer's products are designed to fulfill customer needs, be it fresh technology or unique design", said Mukund, Managing Director, Acer India. "New form factors, fewer technical differentiation’s between products and the growing need for branded products are factors contributing to the growth of the industry."

The 6920 is expected to retail at Rs. 49,000 upwards and the 8920 will be available at a price point of Rs. 79,000 upwards.

Having been present for the launch of this product, I was able to spend some time with the new units. The 8920 is a very impressive product. It offers very powerful specifications of a T7500 CPU, 3 GB of RAM, 320 GB storage; an 18.1 inch full HD screen and a Blu-ray drive at around Rs. 80,000.  It's powered by Nvidia's latest 9650 chipset. When you add it all up together it offers a laptop that is currently unrivaled in its weight-class.

good to see more laptops coming in india.
Am personally getting Dell vostro 1400.
I still feel the lappies are really high priced here
in india after adding up the taxes.
So its impossible to go for already high priced lappy like these.
For the same reason i didnt go for XPS.
Vostos are some what affordable and perform good enough.
But the gemstones look sexy!
Mr. XPS , you got company.

Mr. B. C. Phukan @ Apr 06,2008
Now this is something.

Cheers Acer. I'm tripling my money making efforts now, after three months 8920 should be mine. Dear God help this poor soul :)
