Acer's Gemstone Blue Multimedia Laptops With Blu-ray

Acer unveiled its second-generation line of multimedia-based laptops this week. Named Gemstone Blue, the new line features 16- (6920) and 18-inch (8920G) displays that output 1080p resolution. Combined with surround sound support and Blu-ray drives on both models, the Acer lineup is ready to take on any cutting edge multimedia format, making the Gemstone Blue lineup ideal for web video and gaming.

Acer also built a Cinetouch touchpad into the keyboard layout on the Gemstone Blue models, but most who have had a chance to try it out find it oddly designed and a little difficult to use.

Prices for the Gemstone lineup start at $900 and the new models should be shipping in April.
