Acer Aspire 8930 review

Thanks to a couple of reasonably primo parts, the Acer Aspire 8930 is a high-octane portable that's a solid choice for mobility minded gamers.

The Acer Aspire 8930 offers a great combination of price and purpose. Our only reservations relate to our review model's lack of a Blu-ray drive (since the machine has a Full HD display but its video card won't run games at that resolution, you'll want...

Acer Aspire 8930G

A great laptop if you wish to replace your desktop computer but certainly not a laptop worth carrying around.

Acer Aspire 8930G

To enjoy proper Hi-Def you need a stupendously expensive set-up involving an HD-ready TV, surround sound speakers and a Blu-ray player, right? Wrong. All you need is the Acer Aspire 8930G. This multimedia monster comes with a built-in Blu-ray player...

Great full-HD screen. Plenty of connections. Optional Blu-ray drive

Try lugging around this 4.1kg behemoth

The term all-rounder is often a polite way of saying corner-cutting try-hard. That's not the case with the Acer Aspire 8930G.

Acer Aspire 8930G

Everyone likes a home cinema system, but normally any attempts at squeezing one into something you carry around fail. With epic proportions. The Acer 8930G doesn't. With a gorgeous shell, 18.5 inch full HD screen, 4 gigs of RAM, a 320GB hard drive and...

Real AV enthusiasts will no doubt snub the idea of a laptop as a quality high-def screen and machine, but the Acer 8930G really is that, and should you own a bigger HD screen, you can always hook it up via HDMI to make sweet 1080p love. The Acer 8930G...

Acer Aspire 8930G-904G100

The Acer Aspire 8930G-904G100 is a great and impressive laptop with all the right technologies to keep you occupied.

A great and spacious 1TB hard drive

It weighs in at 4.1kg and only lasts 2.5 hours

A great laptop if you wish to replace your desktop computer but certainly not a laptop worth carrying around.

Great Hi-def screen Good gaming performance

Poor surround speakers

As with many laptops, sound is the Aspire 8930's sole stumbling point. The machine is billed as a home-theater substitute, and it comes with a full 5.1 setup. In stereo mode, it performs reasonably well; music is loud, and movies are clear....

Acer Aspire 8930-6448 review: Acer Aspire 8930-6448

Acer Aspire 8930-6448

Big, 18-inch, 16:9 screen; surprisingly good battery life.

No Blu-ray drive; touch controls not as responsive as they should be.

With a true 1080p display, the 18-inch Acer Aspire 8930 is a capable HD-content playback machine, but we'd spend a bit more for a Blu-ray-equipped version.
