Ah, the deluge of gaming rigs that comes after each and every major CPU announcement made by Intel. As the overflow slows to a trickle, Acer is looking to get its rig out before it just seems like old hat. The purported Aspire M7720, which was announced over in Taiwan, will arrive in a relatively drab chassis and house a potent Core i7 processor, 3GB of DDR3 RAM, a 750GB hard drive and ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics with 1GB of memory. There's no definitive word on when the rig will actually leave the dock and head stateside, but considering that it's already behind the eight ball, we'd put our money (speaking of, it'll start around $1,200) on soon.[Via Electronista]
ummmmmmm..... design ripoff of the Gateway FX anyone?
didn't Acer aquire Gateway..
Speaking of design, wonder when Acer will i7'ize this rig?

Cause square cases are so F-ing boring. Oh, and don’t forget to add the Blue Ray...
Pros:
- Has the great Core i7 processor
- Probably more power than I'll ever need
- Looks like a rebranded Gateway FX desktop
Cons:
- I'm allergic to orange.
I'll pass.
Sho' did that goat
Same specs and design as the Gateway FX we got at BBY over 2 weeks ago.
Nothing special.
What about Apple? Allergic to that?
just oranges
My wallet is allergic to Apple.
Yup...!!
My wallet did it!!
-gniff gniff-....
Actually I'd whore myself (in a universe where that was legal....) for a brand spanking new mac...
Can't reply to that fucker either? :| Great
i have a sweet acer with a quad core phenom and ati graphics.
paid 550 from geeks.com and it runs crysis on enthusiast at 1600x1200 no problem.
I mean i can only imagine how it would look on something with a better graphics card but it looks gorgeous on my display.
I can't think of anyone who would need more than that (i'm a gamer and i know how competitive people get with their rigs...) but seriously, if something like this can go for around 1500, why spend 6000 on something? it'll be outdated in 4 months!
Could we not low rank "STEVE...," if only so that other people can read that? I hate it when the good stuff gets whited out... (like all of my posts)
Hey! There's an idea! OK- EVERYONE LOW RANK MY POST INSTEAD OF THE ONE I"M REPLYING TO SO THAT PEOPLE CAN READ THE POEM LATER ON! COME ON, I"M USING LOTS AND LOTS OF CAPITALS, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO...
O WAT?
lol @ your name and post living up to your name
Acer owns Gateway. This is almost the exact same computer they launched at Best Buy Stores. Same look, same everything. I think different sized Hard Drive, but that is it. And it is 1249.99.
Acer only generally brings cheap labeled Acer computers stateside and keeps their high end units Gateway Branded.

No you don't. You want to read some classic poetry. Like the first post. MmmmHmmm.
when I read that post I thought engadget had hired jubei to write headlines.
I like it haha.
Acer has acquired Packard Bell and Gateway and so why some of the models are rebranded.
Packard Bell AND Gateway? They must be trying to build the crappiest computer ever conceived and badly implemented.
When did the comment section on Engadget turn into the comment section on YouTube?
When did anybody use both?
You managed to reply to some fucker though....
