Acer has added a new Consumer Desktop to their Lifestyle Line, named X3200. The computer is available in two configurations and its price starts at $680.

Both versions feature an AMD Phenom Triple-Core X3 processor, 4GB of RAM memory, and a NVIDIA GeFoce 8200 graphics card. The only difference seems to be the hard-drive that varies from 500GB to 640GB, and the inclusion of a 22-inch LCD.

The Acer Aspire AS5735-4624 is now being sold at BestBuy for a fair price - $400 after the savings. While the laptop has an average customer rating of 3.8 out of 5 on the Acer website, we must admit the price is good when looking at the technical details.

The low-cost laptop weights 2,6Kg and uses Windows Vista Home Premium as the operative system. It has all the goodies that a “normal” computer user needs, like WiFi + Ethernet LAN + 5-in-1 media card reader, and surprisingly it also has a vintage 56k modem, which I doubt anyone will ever use. With a screen size of 15.6-inches, this Aspire has a 16:9 aspect ratio and an uncommon 1366×768pixels resolution.

The engine of the Aspire AS5735-4624 is obviously an Intel, more exactly a Pentium T3200 dual core processor that runs at 2GHz.

It appears that not only Asus has in mind a better battery for their Eee lines. MSI has launched a 6 cell battery for their Wind netbook and now it’s Acer’s turn to release their version of a 6 cell battery for the Aspire One.

The battery has been already spotted. Apparently it costs “just” $120 to get yourself a new battery. If you’re considering buying an Aspire One better wait it out. Hopefully future versions will come already bundled with the new battery for a cheaper price.

The 7730 sports a 17-inch screen with plenty of extras. With Intel’s Wireless WiFi Link 5100/5300, optional Blu-Ray drive, and discreet graphics, it’s the ultimate in entertainment and connectivity.

The Gemstone 8920G is a ultra-portable large laptop. I know you got use to reading more and more news about smaller and smaller gadgets and devices. And it must be really weird to imagine a 18.2 inch laptop like the 8920G is when all you hear is Eee this, Eee clone that and so on.
