Acer just announced their new line of Gemstone notebooks, and we’ve got pictures of their new design.
More pics after the jump
Overall, I’m not that impressed. It does look a little more sleek and curved, but in some ways I think it comes off a bit cheesy. The big news is that it is the first to receive Dolby Surround certification. I’m really not sure how much I would enjoy surround sound on a laptop that’s sitting in front of me, but I would have to hear it to be sure.
It is also rumored to come with your choice of either Blu-ray or HD DVD drives so you can have high def video to go with your surround sound. No word on pricing or availability just yet.

That looks very stylish!
she’s a looker!
I own the Aspire 4520 looks exactly like this model except the blue buttons on the keyboard are lime green. Personally I love my laptop mine DOES have the dolby surround sound and it very clean when I want to listen to music and movies but it acts up when your using instant messenger mic/webcam it cancels the other person’s voice so you can hear it better which gets really annoying. I have figured out how to turn that off but not without huge headaches. I hate vista which is the operating system on this! It is a bit heavy for me but the body is solid. Overall it is a really sleek machine the pictures dont do it justice when you first open it your first reaction is wow thats sexy. So personally I give it 3.7 out of 5.
