Acer is touting the multimedia capabilities of this notebook, obviously the 18.4" viewing real estate with a 16:9 ratio 1080p screen is a major selling point for media mavens -- with this aspect there's no need for pixel compression. This is the first 18.4" screen notebook so Acer is definitely differentiating itself here. Also big news is the fact that they are using the Nvidia 9650m 512MB graphics card to handle the playback of Blu-Ray movies so the processor isn't stressed out, this system is being dubbed "CineReal" by Acer.
Acer adds a nice design touch with the "CineDash" control on the left side of the notebook. The CineDash is a touch sensitive media console that allows you to control such things as volume and media playback experience.
