Mobile Tech Minutes: Acer Aspire 8940G Gaming Notebook
Say what you will about the Acer Aspire 8940G, it is one giant notebook. The 18.4-inch screen on this evaluation unit is as big as some external monitors on desktop systems, and the great audio / video components onboard make it a good multimedia laptop. In the video I show this big laptop, giving a brief walk around the device. It had to be brief as I couldn’t hold the 10+ lb. laptop up for very long. Take a look at this Acer, you’ll get a chance to see Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 running on a laptop. Hey, I couldn’t resist myself.
