Apparently updating its product range in April wasn't good enough for Acer. At least if the further addition to its line-up of the 15.6in Aspire AS5536 and AS5739G and 17.3in AS7735Z notebooks can be considered as evidence.
The key specs look as follows:
Aspire AS5536
- 15.6in, "HD" LED-backlit display
- 2.1GHz AMD X2 QL-64 dual-core CPU
- 3GB DDR2 RAM
- ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics
- 320GB hard drive
- Draft-n wireless
- 15.6in, 1,366 x 768 pixel LED-backlit display
- 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 CPU
- 4GB DDR3 RAM
- 1GB nVidia GeForce GT130M graphics
- 250GB hard drive
- Draft-N wireless
- 17.3in "HD+" LED-backlit display
- 2.0GHz Intel Pentium T4200 CPU
- 4GB DDR3 RAM
- Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics
- 250B hard drive
- Draft-N wireless
All three systems run Windows Home Premium, offer multi-touch touchpads - hardly innovative any more, but not unwelcome - and both the AS5536 and AS7735Z come equipped with Dolby Home Theatre audio.
UK-specific details are absent currently, but in the US the AS5536, AS5739G and AS7735Z start at $479.99 (~£295), $749.99 (~£375) and $599.99 (~£370) respectively, which should indicate what we're likely to be asked for.
