Acer Aspire 6920 Available

The Acer Aspire 6920, which is the world’s first notebook with a 16-inch high definition display, is offered now through retailers in the US.

The Aspire 6920 (AS6920) belongs to the recently announced Aspire Gemstone Blue entertainment laptop series, with advanced multimedia features, an innovative design, and the latest Intel Centrino processing technology.

The AS6920G includes a 16″ display either with 1920×1080 or 1366×768 resolution, and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. The screen is managed by the latest NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS 512MB dedicated video card or the Intel GMA X3100 integrated GPU, depending on model.

This laptop utilizes various audio technologies, including Dolby Home Theater, CineSurround, Tuba CineBass booster, and True 5.1 output.

“Acer CineSurround blasts virtual 5.1 surround sound through two speakers and the Acer Tuba CineBass booster; to set-up a True 5.1 surround system you just need to plug in three pairs of PC speakers, follow the simple steps of the eAudio setup application, and the immersive experience of True 5.1 surround sound becomes a home theater reality,” Acer’s press release says.

Other multimedia features include a Blu-ray optical drive or a DVD burner, an HDMI output with HDCP support in select models, and an optional TV tuner.

Regarding its design, the Aspire 6920 comes with the brand new CineDash media console, a touch-sensitive interface for navigating menus, adjusting volume and controlling multimedia. The laptop also has the multi-layered, shimmering 3D finish, contrasting textures, a “chic” blue, black and silver color scheme, and interior/exterior lighting effects.

Heyo. Sorry to tell you, but I don’t think the 6920G has been officially released yet. The one your talking about has the nVidia 9500.
The one at Circuit City is last years model (Acer Aspire AS6920-6621) with the Intel Media Graphics Accelerator X3100.

Thanks Josh. That was a really important tip. I’ve corrected the article.
