Just 10 months after launching its Gemstone line in May 2007, Acer has introduced refinements to that line’s design, unveiling two new notebooks in the Aspire Gemstone Blue line, the 6950 and the 8950. Both are equipped with a Blu-ray Disc drive, full high-definition LCD screens and native 16:9 resolution. The color blue dominates in these notebooks, which have holographic 3-D covers. “We’re in the age of style, and I think this is an indication of Acer’s intention to be serious in this market,” Forrester Research analyst J.P. Gownder told TechNewsWorld.
