Acer Aspire 8930: The Desktop Replacement Machine
By Alexis • Mar 25th, 2009 • Category: LaptopsNowadays many people crave for the power of desktop PC in the their laptop, rather than settling for under performing netbooks or similarly low end notebooks. With the advancement in the field of mobile computing the consumers demand a lot. Instead of going for normal portable machines they prefer fully functional laptops and netbooks that can really perform like the desktops or even better than that. The Aspire 8930 from the computer manufacturer Acer is one such device that offers mind blowing performance on the move.
It packs the latest in hardware technology and is optimised to give unprecedented performance, flexibility, reliability and ease of use. An Intel T9400 Core 2 Duo processor running at 2.5GHz and an nVidia 9700M GT 512MB graphics card along with 4GB DDR3 RAM ensures smooth functioning and outstanding graphics. The Aspire 8930 can be used to play all the resource hungry games like Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Unreal Tournament 3 at a resolution of 1680 by 1050 pixels. Some of the new games like Left 4 Dead and Crysis do not perform well at the laptop’s native resolution. You can lower down the resolution to avoid glitches at certain points where graphics are too intense. The Acer Aspire 8930G boasts a large 18.4 inch widescreen display that offers clear view with good brightness levels, contrast ratio and vivid colours. However due to high gloss finish you will be unable to use the device outdoors.
The Acer Aspire laptop also features 3 USB 2.0 ports, 2 x eSATA ports, VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort video output in addition to line-in and microphone audio inputs. On the top of its large screen a web cam is also embedded.
