Ivy Bridge-powered Acer Aspire V3 launching in Japan

Acer will be rolling out a new Aspire laptop series in Japan starting on April 29. The said new Aspire series, dubbed Acer Aspire V3-571-H78F, will be based on Intel’s third generation Core i7 a.k.a. Ivy Bridge processors. Specifically, the new series will be powered by a 2.1 GHz Core i7 processor and will feature an Intel HD 4000 GPU.

This 15.6-inch laptop will sport an LED backlit display with a 1366 x 768 resolution and a 1.3 megapixel web camera. Other notable features will include an 8 GB DDR3 RAM, 750 GB of hard drive, a Blu-ray drive, a Dolby Home Theater v4, 2 speakers, a multi-gestured trackpad, HDMI, USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and a 6-cell battery that can run up to 5 hours on a single charge.

Unfortunately, its arrival is too early for Windows 8. So, users will have to make use of Windows 7 Home Premium as its OS. The Ivy Bridge-powered Acer Aspire V3 will hit stores in Japan on April 29 with a $1,110 price tag on its back.
