Earlier this week, we covered the forthcoming FS series of notebooks by Sony, which feature a sizeable display and a blu ray drive.  Not one to be outdone, Acer announced today that they will be shipping their Acer Aspire Gemstone Blue starting now.  The Gemstone Blue features a blu ray drive and a colossal 18.2″ display.  This nine pound behemoth features two hard drives, giving more storage space than you could possibly need in a notebook.  The Gemstone is the granddaddy of laptops that we’ve seen this year, and we don’t expect this beast to be bested any time soon… [thanks gizmodo]
