Acer's 23dB Aspire iDea media center specs revealed

There's one other notable on that Acer product sheet we peeped earlier: a new iDea media center. The specs go a little something like this: Vista Home Premium, Core 2 Duo T5500, 2GB memory, 500GB 7,200RPM SATA disk, DVD burner, NVIDIA MXM7600 GO graphics, dual MCE tuners, a wireless keyboard and mouse, 802.11b/g WiFi (shame, no Draft-n), and multi-format card reader all operating at just 23dB. A decent bump for their iDea lineup but nothing to get fussed about.

Could someone please explain to me what the Intel Viiv is?

How hard is it to set your scanner to grayscale???

[Dave Skaggs @ Sep 21st 2007 9:38AM]

If sarcastic, then it's too early for me to get sarcasm. If serious, usu. there's a setting in the application your comp. has to black and white the scanned picture.

@Dave

Could it be that RoadieJodie was suggesting that the scanned image shown by engadget should have been set to grayscale rather than B/W?

Maybe if you squint slightly you can reread the comment with a different tone.

But you are right it was too early.

When I got it sent out as a fax then scanned it in grey scale this was the best I could do with it, if you saw the fax I got this reads clearer than it did.

I also sent Thomas the original excel file yesterday, it's not my fault he didn't put that up.

This is lame for Media Center considering we live in 2007.

I bought Acer 5920G laptop from BestBuy and hooked it up to my 1080p Sharp 46" TV

for $1100 it came with 1.5 C2D, 2gb ram, 160GB HD, HD-DVD reader, 256MB 7600GT w/ HDMI out etc... Best bang for a buck and super quiet
