Acer Aspire 9800 only has the formfactor in common with other portables because we’re quite convinced most consumers do not want this one sitting in their lap, or even worse carry it around at the airport. Acer Aspire 9800 is namely equipped with a ridiculously large LCD display, a widescreen panel measuring 20″. Despite it’s incredible size the display does not offer full HDTV resolution as it peaks at 1680x1050px. The graphics circuit used to power the display is a GeForce Go 7600 and except from an HD DVD player it has also equipped the comuter with analog and digital (DVB-T) TV tuners.
With a Yonah processor, Core 2 Duo will most likely be the next stop, and up to 4GB RAM it is a real beast. For those who are worried about the harddrive performance we can calm you with that there will be two harddrives running RAID 0 for a total capacity of 240GB. Acer Aspire 9800 has the largest LCD display you can find with a laptop, so far, but most people will most likely just leave this Media Center system on the desk.
