Acer's Aspire 8930G is a big laptop. Measuring 441 x 300 x 44mm, it's a desktop hog and at 3.98kg it isn't the most portable, either. Portability isn't the Acer's game, though. The 8930G is an entertainment laptop through and through - a point reinforc...

  • 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...

Today were going to look at the Acer Aspire 8930G, an 18.4 inch desktop replacement which goes to market under the £1000 mark.
  • The Acer Aspire 8930G is certainly an impressive looking machine with its 18.4 inch LCD and beautifully designed chassis. The chassis could be slightly tighter as there is a small amount of flex from side to side but generally the laptop feels very sol...

Acer's Aspire 8930G may be one of the cheaper laptops on test this month, with a price of a mere £1,043 exc VAT, but that doesn't mean it's lacking in specification or features. The processor, for instance, is Intel's Core 2 Quad Q9000, which achieved...
