With an oversized LED-backlit 18.4-inch display, Core i7 720QM processor, and Windows 7, the Aspire 8940 is set to face off with HP’s Pavilion dv8 and Toshiba’s Qosmio X500 in the uber desktop replacement stakes. And it’ll probably cost less.
$1350 also gets you 4GB of 1066-DDR3 memory, 500GB storage, 1GB Nvidia GeForce GTS 250M graphics, and a Blu-ray drive. Unfortunately, there’s no integrated TV tuner, but you do get nice touches like Acer’s touch-capacitive media control interface, and surround sound via 5 built-in speakers.
The series will be user configurable, and is expected to arrive “this holiday season”.
