Acer Aspire 9800 Review
I’m not sure how possible it is that the Powers That Be read my post yesterday, but TrustedReviews has published a full review of the 20.1″ Acer Aspire 9800 - the very subject of yesterday’s rant post.
Of course, since the HD-DVD-equipped version of the 9800 will only be coming out later this month, the model reviewed did not have a HD-DVD drive. Nevertheless, there’s still quite a bit of stuff to munch on if you’re interested in knowing how the 7.8kg notebook will fare in actual use.
So, what’s the verdict? Well, it seems that, “There’s no doubt that Acer has created the ultimate desktop replacement notebook in the shape of the Aspire 9800. It’s powerful, feature rich, has a stunning screen and isn’t overly expensive for what you’re getting. It’s not really my cup of tea (if I drank tea that is), but if you need all of your IT and AV needs wrapped up into one, admittedly large box, the Aspire 9800 should suit your needs perfectly.”
Notebooks I can’t really lug around aren’t my cup of tea either, but the 8 out of 10 overall rating given by TrustedReviews says some really good things about the Acer Aspire 9800.
