Walking the show floor of Computex is entertaining, but what can be much more interesting are local computer store in Taipei. On one such occasion we discovered on store that was selling a notebook with Nvidia’s next-gen graphics chip.

Acer’s AS8920G-933GG32B is part of the company’s Gemstone series and aimed at home users. This massive notebook features an 18.4" LCD screen, an Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 (clocked at 2.5 GHz) processor, 3 GB DDR2-667 memory, a 320 GB Western Digital hard drive and a 2x Blu-ray drive. The battery is good for 58 minutes of Blu-ray playback.

Further down in the spec listing we noticed an unreleased graphics part, Nvidia’s GeForce 9650MGS. We did not have a chance to play with the notebook as it was locked down and the touchpad as well as the keyboard were physically disabled, which meant that we could peek into the system’s control panel to find out a bit more about this GPU.

We know that Nvidia is going to host the GeForce 9M briefing during Computex and most likely introduce these mobile GPUs officially. But if you have 68,900 TWD - about US$2266 - you can walk out of that store with a future graphics part today. Taiwan is an interesting place to be if you are into gadgets.
