“Intent on bringing our customers the freshest technologies that enhance the user experience, Acer is the first to introduce the latest Dolby Home Theater technology across an entire line of PCs with our new Aspire notebooks,” said Campbell Kan, Vice President of Mobile Computing, IT Products Business Group, Acer Inc. “Dolby Home Theater offers a rich array of audio features which unleashes the entertainment experience on Aspire by raising the bar for audio performance on a notebook. We think people will be amazed by what they hear.”
