I've really been looking forward to getting the 8920 notebook, and it seems like it has started to show up at a few retailers here in the States, but I'm a bit confused at the pricing that I am seeing. There are 2 models of the 8920 listed at both Circuit City and Amazon...
The AS8920-6048 which is currently available, and the AS8920-6837 which is listed as "Coming Soon." Now, what I don't understand is how these are priced. They appear to be identical for the most part, but the 6837 model has a bigger hard drive, more RAM, and a faster processor, yet it is listed as being $150 less than the 6048 model.
Is there any explanation for this? Also, are there any other retailers selling the AS8920-6837? Thanks.

AFAIK, two words: Blu-ray Drive.
The 6048 has it, the 6837 doesn't. -
full range with spec sheet,but i think one is just for the European market http://www.acernotebooks.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_8920_Gemstone_Blue_Laptops/prod.asp

There seems to be a lot of confusion around the 8920 series. Resolution, blue ray, blue tooth, etc. On top of that they seem hard to find. I am looking at the 8920 6671 and wonder if any of you have advice on the issue
-
One is 1080p and the other is not. the 1080p models have the much higher price ($2500US ish) CHECK THE SPECS CAREFULLY. I'm waiting for one of these myslf. PC Connection sells the AS 8920-6671, which is supposed to be the HD model. Personally, I want to see this thing before I buy it.

I agree, it seems to be impossible to find the 6671 anywhere but online. After reading through the 1080p thread I am concerned about buying online.

You're not the only one. I did find what looked to be a 6671 on Amazon (including the $$$$ price tag) but I didn't like their return policy. I know that if I wait until this screen crap is sorted out, Acer will probably come out with yet another sick machine that will make all of us drool. If anyone has had a good experience buying this gem online, please let the rest of us know. (Oh shoot, a quick check at PC Connection says it's out of stock. AARRRGGHHH!)
