Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:DLB) today announced that Acer’s Aspire line of notebook PCs will feature Dolby Home Theater™, a suite of technologies that offer advanced home theater audio features and premium surround sound experiences.

Through Dolby Home Theater, Acer Aspire users will have the freedom and flexibility to enjoy rich surround sound in a variety of playback environments and can enjoy more vivid and engaging experiences from their favorite music, movies, and games.

“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.”
