Acer today launched its new "Aspire Gemstone Blue" series of notebooks comprising the Aspire 6920 and the Aspire 8920 notebooks that claim to fuse design and texture elements of the original 'Aspire Gemstone' series with a signature element, namely Blue, both the color and light. Apart from this, the notebooks claim to feature key multimedia innovations, superior displays, and second-generation Dolby home theater.
Speaking at the launch, S Rajendran, chief marketing officer of Acer India, said, "Acer is once again setting a new design trend, with the Acer Aspire 6920 and 8920 notebooks that are built on a unique 16-inches and 18-inches footprint, full HD LCD screens, and native 16:9 resolution."
In the looks department, the 6920 and 8920 notebooks come with a chic blue, black, and silver color scheme and lighting effects. The holographic 3D cover radiates elegance, and the starlit back-light shines beneath the floating Acer logo to make it sparkle with varying gradations of black and blue when viewed from different angles. The DiamondBlack Empowering Key draws upon the original Gemstone design while the CineDash media console, a touch-sensitive interface, helps users launch Acer Arcade in seconds and navigate menus, adjust volume, and control media on the fly. New surfaces like the NeoWeave palm rest provide a comfortable area for placing your hands.
