Finally in the American market, Acer is now revealing its strength as a chart topping manufacturer of quality hardware. In the fourth quarter of 2005 they delivered a staggering growth of 202.6% in the notebook PC sector. With models like the Aspire 5670, it's not difficult to see why they're now a top three brand, enjoying Ferrero Rocher at the ambassador's party with the likes of Dell, Fujitsu, HP and Toshiba. - Monsieur Acer, with these core duos you are really spoiling us!

Chalkanother one up to NAPA. The new Acer Aspire 5670 has joined theelite country club of laptops that house the new Intel Centrinomobile technology nicknamed after that famous snooty wine region.NAPAin this case is a platform that leverages the new Centrino Duodual-core processor with the Intel 945PM Express chipset, and for802.11a, b and g wireless capabilities, the Intel PRO/Wireless3945ABG network connector.

Acerrecently became a top 3 global laptop brand, and looking atthe Aspire 5670 you can see why. Now only Dell and Hewlett-Packard have greater world market share. In the States Acer delivered a202.6% growth in the laptop sector for the 4th quarter of 2005,that's a phenomenal increase in sales, and testimony to the factthat folks are voting for aspire, Ferrari, and Travelmatenotebooks with their wallets.

Anyway onto the dual core Acer Aspire5670, it's fast, it easy on the battery, and it may be smarterthan us. "But, Muffy, what can we do with all that power?" youask?

The newest member of the country club packs a heck of a lotalong with the NAPA (and all for around $1,299 - $1,499-don'ttell the membership board!). First, you get proprietary softwarelike: Acer GridVista, which allows you to use the screen for fourapps at once; Acer CinemaVision and Acer ClearVision formaximizing your video viewing and creating pleasure; as well asthe other programs in the Acer Aspire Arcade to meet all yourmultimedia needs.

To help you tap into this multimedia experience, the Acer possesses a wealth of port and peripherals:digital speakers, double-layer drive, 5-in-1 card reader,ExpressCard slot, IEEE 1394 port, S-video and TV-out ports,Ethernet, USBs, and a 15.4-inch CrystalBrite display to name afew.

Still not sure if the Acer belongs? How's this for elite-theAcer has Video Conference and Video over IP capabilities thanksto a built-in camera and Bluetooth VoIP phone.

Oh, and this Aspire is loaded where it really counts: under the hood. The 5670 packsup to 120GB of hard drive space, 1024MB of DDR2 memory (which canbe boosted to 2048MB), and an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 graphicscard. And you just thought that it was a pretty nice dual-coreprocessor laptop trying to live off the Acer name.
