Acer wants the Aspire 8940 to be your Core i7-packing portable of choice

You’d think you’ve seen all the Windows 7 holiday laptops to last you through this yuletide season, but in comes Acer with another offering, the Core i7-packing Aspire 8940. The 18.4-inch 1080p widescreen monitor brings with it a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250M, Blu-ray drive, 600GB HDD, and 4GB RAM. Let’s also throw in a webcam, 802.11 a/b/g Draft-N, webcam, multi-card reader, HDMI and eSATA ports and a 8-cell Li-Ion battery for good measure. Quite a hefty number, so expect a little bit of workout if you’re wanting to haul this around. Suggested price is $1,349 and all we know of the release date is “holiday season” so it should be safe to add this to your wishlist.
