Digital-life Delight
Building on the aesthetics of the original Aspire Gemstone design, this year's Gemstone-M notebooks are uniquely cool, made to enrich digital life with ease, excitement and individuality.
The holographic 3D cover - the world's first on notebooks - portrays true elegance. The Starlit backlight shines below the floating Acer logo, the focal point of the iridescent, midnight sapphire sub-layer, which sparkles with varying gradations of black and blue when viewed from different angles.
The LCD cover is shaped with gradual curves, while the dark sub-layer sparkles with subtle intensity. These attractive design elements suggest the soft contour and fiery heart of a finely cut opal. The smooth, opalesque curvature of the whole notebook provides a very comfortable touch.
The Enlightener media flow flashes a striking neon light that surges between the DC-in port and power button. The line streams across and down the keyboard, creating a visual link with the energy flowing between the Empowering Key and touch-sensitive media keys.
The pearl gray finish of the palm rest signifies refined taste and exacting technical prowess, complements the black keyboard, and highlights its brilliant elements.
Shining vestiges of the original Gemstone design, the sapphire blue inlaid nameplate and Empowering Key flaunt the classic appeal of precious stones. The Empowering Key is the quick-access gateway to the world of Acer Empowering Technology.
