The laptop sports a 15.6-inch Acer CineCrystal LED-backlit widescreen display with an HD 720p native resolution (1366-by-768 pixels). Graphics are taken care of by an NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M (DirectX 11, Shader 5.0) graphics controller with 1/2GB of dedicated video memory. NVIDIA’s Optimus technology is also on board. In addition, Acer’s 5755 model will provide customers with up to 8GB of internal DDR3 RAM and an HDD interface (up to 1TB of storage space).

Connectivity features include Intel Wireless Display (WiDi), an HDMI output, and Acer’s very own clear.fi technology. The Acer Aspire 5755 will reportedly have a starting price of about US $1,400 and will be available in black, brown, red and blue.
