The timing and price are up in the air, but Acer's next high-end gaming notebook will be the first using DirectX 11 graphics. It's also going to be insane.
Fudzilla's reporting that the Aspire 8942G-728G1280TWN is going to be a beast, shipping with a Core i7 processor at 1.6GHz, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and the all-important ATI Radeon HD5850 graphics card. The other specs are equally over the top—18.4" 1980x1080 LED display, two 640GB hard drives, 8-cell battery—but what we're most excited about are graphics like this:
Expect it on the market in early 2010 for a whole lot of cash. It also weighs over 10 pounds, so make sure to lift with your legs.
Configuration
The high-end device will offer some of the latest technologically advanced features. This Aspire model will be powered by Intel Core i7 720QM processor at 1.6GHz and will be equipped with a large 18.4-inch Full HD 1920-by-1080 display.
Acer’s powerful mobile PC will house 8GB of memory (2x4GB), two 640GB mechanical hard drives (5400rpm) and a Blu-Ray Writer with DVD SuperMulti DL.
