OK, let’s start the week off with the bad news.
I got this feed through my Tweetscan reader and as I’m not one to shy away from stuff like this, I thought I’d bring it to your attention as well.
On 19th March, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission posted a recall alert regarding the Acer Predator [...]
A bag for the 8920?

Any of you own a Gemstone Blue 8920?
Have you found a bag for it?
In an amazing oversight , Acer seems to have forgotten that people actually like to lug portable computers around and don’t have a custom bag big enough for it (yet?).
I’ve been getting requests from customers about this and can’t come [...]

We have our first review for the Acer Aspire 8920.
I’m really excited about receiving these directly from you, and want to thank John Daniels for writing this up so soon after receiving his.
But that’s enough of me. Let me get out the way and let John tell you what his first few days have been [...]
Do it yourself videos: Gemstone Blue – third time lucky

This time round I answer four questions:
1. What’s the Windows Experience Index?
2. What does a (real) DVD look like on the 8920?
3. What is the keyboard like?
4. How loud can it go?
Unfortunately I couldn’t get my hands on a VoIP Bluetooth phone or a 6920 but I’m still looking for them so this ain’t over just yet.

Now that the event’s been and gone and the only thing all of you who really, really want one of these notebooks have to enjoy in the meantime are my frankly laughable videos, I thought I’d put up something that harnessed the collective wisdom and generosity of TheAcerGuy readers and kept you busy.
I [...]

This is a bit of a giggle really. Don’t take it too seriously.
I promise I’ll do better in future.
Anyway, the other day I was looking for videos of the Gemstone Blue to post here. I mean my Google alerts have been firing off a couple of times a day ever since the launch event but apart from articles based on stuff I wrote, there’s very little to actually look at.
So I went out an made my own.

I found an interesting article about the Samsung displays Acer has ordered to use in the Gemstone Blue Full High Definition models on the Display News 4 U site.
The article says that Samsung is “the only panel maker capable of producing 16-inch FHD panels, with other panel makers likely to begin deliveries in the third [...]
Acer turns up the style dial in New York

There’s a new video up about the Gemstone Blue.
It’s not a product review (I’m trying to get my hands on one) but shows some of the highlights of the various presentations of Gianfranco Lanci, Jim Wong and Gianpiero Morbello and is a clear demonstration that Acer have well and truly raised the style bar.
Game on!

No, wait… I just dug this up (good job I work in marketing). No that isn’t me speaking and no I didn’t write the copy.
But it’s an official Acer video so it’s pretty slick.

Found another great video on the Gemstone Blue (wasn’t difficult). This one features Mark Spoonauer, Editor in Chief of Laptop Magazine and describes the media console functionality. Their thoughts on the Gemstone Blue can also be found here.
