The display comes in 16" and 18", full 16:9 widescreen, and maximum resolution of 1920x1080, with video delivered by INVIDIA GeForce GS processor. It also carries 5 integrated speakers for true 5.1 sound delivered by Dolby Home Theater, Tuba CineBass booster and True5.1 CineSurround.
At the core of the series is the processor, of course. These machines are driven by Intel Centrino processors, Penryn, of course, with up to maximum of 4GB RAM.
The CineDash is the Star Trek-like interface found at the left side of the keyboard. CineDash is just a specialized interface for controlling media apps. Unfortunately, there is no right-side version.
Two models have been announced: Aspire 6920G and 8920G, and both are due next month. Not sure about a Philippine release date. Of course, they won't come in cheap. The cheapest is priced around US$900 (that's Php 36900 at US$1=Php41 conversion rate).
Prices of Gemstone laptops should drop by the time these Aspires hit retailers' shelves.
