By using the latest AMD APU processors alongside AMD's GPUs, Acer claims users will experience 'heightened performance and brilliant HD entertainment with unrivalled visual quality' from the new line-up.
Starting at $799, the laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, AMD's A Series Dual Core A4-3300M processor, 4GB DDR3 SDRAM, and a 500GB hard drive.
It's got a 15.6'³ display, as well as an SD card slot, 1.3MP front-facing webcam, HDMI output, DVD burner (no Blu-Rays support) and gigabit LAN support.
