Acer Brings HD Video and Sound to its 16-inch Laptop

Acer is in a rush to bring you some seriously portable High-Definition with the 16-inch fully HD compatible Aspire 6920. This notebook was designed to fully immerse you in the experience of HD video and comparable sound. If you’re a multimedia professional in advertising, marketing or production or just a lover of HD video when you travel, then you will be thrilled by the Aspire 6920G.

The Gemstone series is created with innovative textures, sleek designs and powerful features. The 6920G is based on blue being cool with an eye-catching backlit surface and neon blue internal and external highlights this notebook is sure to turn heads when you fire it up. While the external design and interface are innovative the internal hardware will take you where no portable computer has taken you before.

Acer is the first manufacturer to bring full High-Definition capabilities to a 16-inch portable computer with the Full HD CineCrystal LCD at 1920x1080 resolution or optionally the HD CineCrystal display at 1366x768 pixels with 8ms response time in 16:9 with 16.7 million colors. This unit is perfectly designed to meet your HDTV or Blu-Ray viewing needs. With the built in NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS or 9650M GS and up to 1280MB of TurboCache it has the muscle to do all that HD lifting. But we all know that it can look good and just not be engrossing if it doesn’t sound good as well. Acer has you covered there with its built in two-speaker CineSurround system including the Tuba CineBass for some boom. Or you can connect some external speakers for a real 5.1 Surround Sound experience.

High-Definition video requires a lot of space and Acer was sure to address that with the Blu-Ray disc drive or the DVD-Super Multi double-layer drive. You can also plug in one of six different memory cards via the 6-in-1 card slot for quick, additional space. The SATA drive in the unit can be as large as 320GB so you might not even need that extra space, but it’s good to have options. With the optional digital TV tuner you might find you want all the space you can get.
All of this is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (1.83 or 2.50GHz) and up to 4GB of RAM giving it the muscle it needs for just about everything you can think of. Now you must get all that data and media on the machine somehow and that’s where connectivity comes into play. With the built in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB 2.0 and gigabit network connections you have several ways to transfer data to and from the 6920. Also it has VGA and HDMI out so you can flex its power by pushing the full HD signal out to an external big screen to wow those important clients. All that power and capability in a notebook only around seven and a half pounds, this is the future of portable High-Definition.
