In the interest of keeping the individual identities of the whole family (

During the launch of Acer's Gemstone (
http://www.betanews.com/article/New_...ns/1205361229), analyst John Spooner of TBR remarked to BetaNews that the company looked to be positioning itself at the high end of the market, above Gateway and Packard Bell (
