It’s been really interesting keeping track of the Gemstone Blue this week (well from Wednesday).

The lastest sites to publish articles are Cnet’s Crave and of course, Engaget.

Crave has never minced its words (remember their reaction to the original Gemstone…? Phew!!)

Still this time round the Blue seems to have made a slightly more positive impression:

Acer advanced its plans for world domination with the announcement of two multimedia-oriented laptops in the brand-new Gemstone Blue series. Aside from their crazy unique media control console, the laptops’ key advancement is their 16- and 18-inch displays, which should be better for viewing HD content.

Love that “crazy unique”.

Their main article on the Gemstone Blue is here.

Engadget has possibly the best slide show of the launch event and I strongly recommend you check it out, if only to see what you missed ;-)

Again, Engadget’s main article is here.
