In time for the holidays, Acer has created a monster laptop, four times the weight of a run-of-the-mill netbook. The weight is worth it when you consider the potential to play World of Warcraft at mind-numbing resolutions anywhere you go. And the weight is literally worth it when you consider the price – starting at $1350 on Newegg, the AS8940G-6865 falls neatly into line with Acer's usual highly competitive pricing.
For your $1350 and willingness to haul a 10-pound laptop with you, you will receive in turn the new Intel® Core™ i7 Quad-Core 720QM processor, 4 GB of RAM, a 500 GB hard drive, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250M, all manifesting themselves across a glorious 18.4 inch HD screen. Also features Windows 7 and Blu-ray capabilities. Spinal support not included.
