If you’re looking for an 18.4 Inch large screen laptop, you are limited to a handful of brands. I was thorn between HP HDX18 and Dell XPS, what stops me from buying these models are the price, which is ridiculously high.
The new Acer Aspire AS8940G-6865 18.4″ Notebook comes with Quad-Core Intel Core i7 and Windows 7. It is at least 500 dollars cheaper than Dell and HP. I could get myself a 18 inch laptop and a netbook if I decided to go for an Acer.
Acer is the world’s 3rd largest computer company, after HP and Dell. They are poise to take over the second spot from Dell within a year or two. Having said that, lots of people complain to me on the reliability of Acer’s laptop with frequent hardware failures. Which is not an isolated case happened to Acer only, I bet Toshiba, Sony and all the other laptop manufacturer have the same problem. After all, most laptops are designed by Taiwanese and manufactured by the Chinese.
