Acer is getting better on spec and price.Acer has been on a roll of late with its Gemstone series of laptops, which have enjoyed huge popularity in the budget and value segment.
Acer is offering a few innovations in this range, such as 16:9 aspect LCD panels, Blu-ray drives, and a new touch panel for multimedia management.
At the launch event of the new series, it was clear from the onset that Acer had consciously decided to step away from its rather drab designs of the past. The 6920G is certainly a step up. It sports a glossy top panel and a well-designed (though highly reflective) LCD panel. The area around the LCD panel is of a similar glossy nature as the lid.
The area next to the keyboard is unique to the new series. Just above the keyboard is a huge speaker grill that forms the basis of the new Dolby 2.0 speaker system.The left side of the keyboard is occupied by the new CineDash Media Console, which Acer has introduced with this series.
This touch panel allows you to manipulate Windows Media Player or other compatible players. It also interfaces with Acer’s own version of a media center called Acer Arcade Deluxe.

There are deals for cheap LCDs all the time, but they may not have the size, type or brand you want on sale for several weeks.
