Acer’s “Blue” Ace: Aspire Gemstone Blue Notebook

Today in New York , Acer ’s bountiful surprise is the Aspire “ Gemstone Blue ” notebook computer , equipped with a Blu - ray drive , true gamy - def screen door , and CineReal sound , a 2d generation of Dolby Surround . Sexy , and yes , disconsolate , and it does n’t appear to suffer from embrasure envy like some other notebooks , though it is slender . In size it ’s somewhere between HP ’s dv series and Dell ’s XPS M series . That ’s not just a size compare , but a qualitative discernment call : this thing looks unambitiously nestled between the two other personal computer heavyweight ’ designs . With such mystery and fanfare , we were hoping for a tad more of an exciting , iconoclastic design . It is , however , a comme il faut product , so have a facial expression . UPDATE : Weights and simulation bit below .
