The Aspire 5675WLMi is Acer's first HD DVD capable notebook.
Today Acer becomes the second Australian vendor to announce a HD DVD capable notebook, dubbed the Aspire 5675WLMi. The unit will be available exclusively at Dick Smith Electronics stores for an RRP of AU$5499.
Toshiba was first out of the starting grid with its Qosmio G30 notebook, which sells for AU$4299. However, despite the disparity in announcement dates, actual availability schedules for both notebooks are identical -- late May 2006.
