Multimedia Miracle
-
The new Acer Aspire 7730 is a real multimedia miracle as the already rich base features can be complemented with options like a DVB-T digital TV tuner, a Blu-ray drive and a 2nd harddrive for maximum storage space. Best sound and vision are guaranteed by the use of Acer’s CrystalBrite technology on the panoramic 17” TFT panel while the combination of the Dolby certified speakers and integrated subwoofer delivers the ultimate sound experience on a notebook.
