The summer looks bright for Acer, who has announced a pair of new notebooks, one of which it plans to release in June. Sitting at opposite ends of the spectrum, the thin and light Aspire 3935 will ship as a 13.3-inch notebook, with the 8935G checking in at a much larger 18.4 inches.

Packed into the smaller 3935 will be Intel's Core 2 Duo T7350 (2GHz, 3MB L2 cache, 1066MHz frontside bus) processor on the chip maker's GM45 chipset, 3GB of DDR2-1066 RAM, integrated 4500MHD graphics, a 250GB SATA hard drive, 8X DVD burner, Wi-Fi, touch sensitive hotkeys, and various other goodies adding up to a 4.18-pound laptop.

Moving up to the 8935G adds a larger display, one of several Intel Core 2 Duo processors, discrete ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 graphics, a combo 4X Blu-ray drive and DVD burner, four USB 2.0 ports, up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, and up to 1TB of hard drive space. The added horsepower and screen real estate means the 8935 will weight more than twice as much as the 3935, checking in at 10.1 pounds. Interestingly, neither laptop comes with an SSD option.

Acer says the Aspire 3935 is available now at major retailers nationwide starting at $900. The Aspire 8935G will be available stateside in June with pricing and further specifications still to be determined.
