It seems like every day someone releases a new laptop. Well today we have two new offerings from Acer. One is aimed at the enthusiast crowd, while the other targets budget-conscious customers.

The new Acer Aspire 5920 and 4710 both fall into the new Gemstone line of PCs that Acer has recently released. The Gemstone line was developed in conjunction with BMW Group DesignworksUSA. They focused on the visual aspects that consumers appreciated the most including color, material, shape and treatment.

The Aspire 5920 is a 15.4-inch multimedia PC which features an HD-DVD drive, Dolby Home Theater sound, and a screen that features Acer's CrystalBrite display technology for the best possible picture. The Aspire 4710 is a smaller notebook with a 14.1-inch screen, and has an integrated webcam for use with the one-click Acer Video Conference software, as well as Dolby surround sound. Both laptops are powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors.

The beefier 5920 starts at $1999 for the base model, while the smaller 4710 will only set you back $599.
