Acer Aspire AS8950G-9839

Laptops don't get any bigger than the Acer Aspire AS8950G-9839 ($1,499.99 street), an 18.4-inch media center laptop that has the largest laptop screen available. Home theater enthusiasts will love the screen's 1080p resolution, built-in Blu-ray drive,...

Glorious 18.4-inch screen with 1080p resolution. Well designed aluminum frame. Huge battery and impressive battery life. Top-notched performance scores. Very good graphics chip. Blu-ray drive included. Excellent speaker quality. FireWire port

Home theater enthusiasts will love the Acer Aspire AS8950G-9839 laptop's big 1080p-resolution screen, built-in Blu-ray drive, and crisp-sounding speaker system, and the parts powering the system are impressive.

bad battery and slow HD

Happy to be one of the first to play with it. But very disappointed. The slow HD defeats all the other expensive stuff. The short lived battery is the true killer for an otherwise good desktop replacement. What a pitty!

Big and bright screen. Nice keyboard

Really short lived battery. Last less than two hours after a full charge and normal usage (web browser, HD movie and microsoft office). It also bears the restarting problem as other Acer's lappies, often dead after goes to standby mode. More likely a...
