Introduced in late December 2008, the Acer Aspire 8930G is a powerful 18.4" laptop computer for multimedia and gaming. Featuring a new quadcore Intel processor, a full 1080p 18.4" widescreen, a powerful Nvidia graphics card, 4GB of the latest DDR3 memory, a Blu-ray drive and a 500GB hard disk, the MSRP of the cutting edge unit is a fair $1800 dollars. Perfect for users who want a laptop that can replace their TV, video game console and desktop computer - the Aspire 8930G is quite capable of DVD/Blu-ray and HD TV playback (given that it must be downloaded), regular everyday computing and a high level of gaming.
