PCLaunches - Acer has rolled out a new Aspire series laptop in Japan. Dubbed as Acer Aspire V3-571-H78F, the notebook is based on the 3rd generation Intel Core i7 “Ivy Bridge” processor and features a 15.6-inch display. That’s not all, it also provides Blu-ray drive, USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0 and HDMI.
Engadget - The Acer Aspire V3 offers NVIDIA graphics, great performance and a first-class keyboard. At $850, it's a natural pick for the back-to-school season.
Engadget - Hot off the tails of the Aspire V5 is another new release from Acer. This time it's the Aspire V3 notebook, which comes in any one of three configurations, with 14, 15.6 and 17.3-inch screens in-tow. Each variation will be powered by an Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processor, with NVIDIA GeForce GT series graphics throwing up the visuals. As with the V5, specs are difficult to come by at this point, though Acer has confirmed that the 17.3-inch model will include a 1600 x 900 pixel display. There's Blu-ray, HDMI, Bluetooth 4.0 and USB 3.0 on board, as well as support for SSD and hard drive combos (17.3-inch model only). Aesthetically, it'll launch in three colors (black, gold and gray) when it eventually debuts in Q2 of this year. Pricing starts at €400 (about $520) for the entry-level spec, rising to €900 (roughly $1180) at the top end.
