In a few months you should start to see the first wave of new Acer Aspire V series laptop computers at your local computer shop.
The Aspire family will be gaining V series models that hit the 11.6-, 14-, 15.6-, and 17.3-inch categories. The new laptops will either fall under the Aspire V3 or Aspire V5 families. Between the V3 and V5 families the only difference that is really discernible sits with either systems design. The V3 laptops are designed less extravagantly than the V5 notebooks which resemble Ultrabooks.
Here is what the Aspire V3 laptops will look like:

Acer Aspire V5 BlueWithout mentioning any prices I can guess that the more premiumly designed Aspire V5 will be more expensive than the V3 laptops. The Aspire V5 will be sold in 11.6-, 14-, and 15.6-inch form-factors and the V3 will be sold in 14-, 15.6-, and 17.3-inch form-factors.
Acer mentions they wanted to target the emerging thin and light laptop market with the Aspire V5′s, and they say the 11.6-inch model is only 15mm thick and the 14- and 15-inch models are 21 and sub-23mm thick each. As for the V3 laptops Acer claims those are designed to be general purpose laptops, no width measurements have been given.
However features wise the Aspire V3 and V5 laptops don’t really differ that much from the few details that Acer has provided thus far. All the new V series laptops will come with Intel’s latest Core i processors, NVIDIA GeForce GT discrete graphics, USB 3.0, HDMI, VGA, Ethernet LAN, stereo speakers, integrated webcams, chiclet keyboards and the latest Windows 7 software.
Acer Aspire V5 PinkAcer has only revealed pricing plans for Europe at this time and according to the company customers over in Europe should expect prices to start at €499 for the Aspire V3 models and prices will start at €399 for the Aspire V5 models. Acer will launch the Aspire V3 and V5 laptops in the second quarter of this year (a few months from now). You should also know that the Aspire V3 laptops will launch with Black, Gold and Gray color options, and the V5 is going to be sold with Blue and Pink color options.
