The Acer Aspire AS8943G is powered by Intel Core i5-430M Dual Core Processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, and 640GB of storage.
The lower end Acer Aspire AS8943G-5638 with an Intel Core i3-350M Dual Core Processor, and 500GB of storage.
The two new laptops feature the 4GB of memory, 18.4-inch edge-to-edge glass LED back-lit display with full high-definition (1080p) resolution, ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650 Graphics with 1GB of dedicated video memory, Dolby Home Theatre Audio , 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, a 1.3 megapixel HD webcam, eSATA, five USB 2.0 ports, FireWire, 8-cell Li-ion battery, and is pre-loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
The positive of new laptotp multimdeia series is already use the faster intel processor andec also adds the Turbo Boost Technology with planty capacity of storage also use Hi-Def graphic card but the less is why it use the 1.3 Megapixel for it HD Webcam while other already use the 2.0 Mp of Webcam. And I little disagree with 8 cell of battery but its only produce for 3 hours life. Is this a multimedia laptop if the battery life runs off for as long as 2 movie? I better choose the netbook with 6 cell battery but it can produce the 11 hours.
