The 15.6-inch, LED-backlit Aspire 5739G is the fastest of the trio with a 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, an 8X Blu-ray drive and a GeForce GT 130M for video. It comes with a multi-touch trackpad and ships at the end of June for a particularl... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/22/acer.aspire.5536.and.7735z/ Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/03/nvidia.geforce.9m/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/nvidiageforce9600mgt.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />NVIDIA on Tuesday officially unveiled the next major upgrade to its notebook graphics lineup. The GeForce 9M series is built on a new, multi-core graphics engine that the electronics designer claims is as much as 40 percent faster than earlier 8M chipsets. Video encoding is up to five times faster, the company claims. The new design is also home to the first mobile chipsets with Hybrid SLI; not... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/03/nvidia.geforce.9m/ Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/14/pc.shipments.to.top.300m/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/aceraspire6920.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Computer shipments will still crest above 300 million in 2008 despite an economic slump triggered by the American housing market, according to a new study by IDC. The growth in notebooks is predicted to drive roughly 12.8 percent growth over the course of the year to reach roughly 302 million; of those, just over 45 percent (136.3 million) will account for portables, the research group says. Mos... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/14/pc.shipments.to.top.300m/ Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/11/acer.new.notebook.march/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/acergemstone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Acer will reveal a new concept design for a notebook PC tomorrow, the company has announced today. The computer builder is short on details but says the debut will represent a "worldwide launch" for the new style, suggesting a major update rather than a minor change to an existing design. The introduction is likely to involve the company's new 16- and 18.5-inch media notebooks, both of which wil... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/11/acer.new.notebook.march/ Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/08/acer.aspire.7720/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0801/aceraspire7720.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Acer took advantage of the immediate wake of CES' opening to revamp one of its larger Aspire notebooks. At 17 inches, the 7720 is intended as a full substitute for a desktop but tries to balance between this and cost: the system uses a new budget Core 2 Duo clocked at 1.66GHz but balances this with 2GB of RAM and a 256MB GeForce 8400M GS that offloads much of the graphics work for games, HD video... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/08/acer.aspire.7720/ Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:05:00 GMT
