Last week in New York Acer unveiled their updated V5 notebooks and introduced the new V7 Ultrabook. We were there and managed to get a closer look at them.

The Aspire V5

Based on lifestyle and performance needs, consumers can choose models featuring large 39.6 cm (15.6”) displays, more portable 35.6 cm (14”) displays, or highly transportable models with 29.5 cm (11.6”) displays. All configurations are available with a choice of touch or non-touch screens. To make typing easier and more comfortable, all V5 models include a full size backlit keyboard with an 8 percent larger key cap area (15mm) than previous generation V5 notebooks.

For crystal clear viewing, the new V5 notebooks featuring a 39.6 cm (15.6”) or 35.6 cm (14”) display are available in either high definition (1366×768) or full high-definition (1920×1080) with IPS technology, which provides an amazingly vibrant and wide viewing angle. These models also include four speakers and are supported by Dolby Home Theatre for crystal clear cinematic surround sound with less distortion. It also makes it easy to connect to a home theatre system, and provides total control over the PC’s audio settings with a few simple clicks.

Select models are equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GT7XXM series or AMD Radeon HD8750 discrete graphics for fast casual gaming and rich responsive multimedia. To meet a wide variety of computing needs, they include a range of Intel 3^rd generation processors.

The Aspire V7

The new V7 Series Ultrabooks offer the same stylish and thin design found on the V5 models, but adds a “silky touch” finish on the bottom. In addition, the V7 models include various Intel latest generation processors, solid state drives, Acer Theft Shield, the new Acer converter port and WiDi, Intel’s Wireless Display technology, which makes it easy to connect directly to a big screen HDTV for watching movies, viewing photos or videos or playing games.
