What VN7-792G models have the new RealSense camera?  Last month (January 4th 2016) Acer issued a press release anouncing "The Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition series featuring the new Intel RealSense 3D Camera will be available in North America starting in February at prices starting at $1,099." (http://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/press/2016/175357).  It's now the end of February and I am looking over the Aspire V Nitro product line (http://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/models/laptops/aspirevnitro) and can't tell which models have the new RealSense Camera and which ones don't.  When I look at the specs/datasheet they all just say "Webcam Yes".

 

I'm looking for a Skylake based 17" laptop with Intels RealSense camera.  Which Acer VN7-792G models have the new RealSense camera or how can I tell which ones have it and which ones don't?

 

The Press release goes on to say that "Exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region. To find out about availability, product specifications and prices in specific markets, please contact your nearest Acer office or retailer via www.acer.com."  If this is not the right forum to be asking this question can someone point me in the right direction (nearest Acer office or retailer) for USA availability.

    "The Nitro Blacks also get faster PCIe 3rd gen storage options and an optional Intel RealSense webcam will also be available for them from December."
    This say's the RealSense Webcam will be optional on the 592 and 792 Black Editions. You may have to order it from Acer to get it.

    I've been informed that the VN7-592G is not currently shipping with the RealSense camera. I understand the interest in the technology and will provide feedback to the appropriate teams.

    I found a good alternative that is actually shippping.  It has Intels Realsense Camera, an 6700HQ Processor and 16gb RAM.  At $1099 it incudes a removable 6 cell battery, MS Office and free shipping.  I ordered mine with 4tb of storage and will add a SSD when I get it.  You can find it by Googling "HP Envy 17" or the following link:  http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/Laptops/hp-envy---17t-laptop-m9x67av-1
